6 Steffen: Didn’t have anything to do, with Luton’s goal coming from their only shot on target. Scare in the second half when he hesitated on the ball.

7 Smith: Solid defensively and linked up well with Jones

8 Fry: Outstanding display. Deserved a clean sheet. Both Fry and Lenihan were picked out for praise by Carrick afterwards.

8 Lenihan: See Fry. Towering display against an awkward Luton forward line. Didn’t give visiting forwards a sniff.

8 Giles: Yet another assist. A constant threat down the left.

7 Jones: A real threat down the right in the second half. Caused Luton problems and got Bell sent off.

7 Howson: Will be disappointed with Luton goal but dominant in the second half.

7 Hackney: Like Howson, could have done more for the goal but otherwise classy yet again and his influence grew as game went on.

7 McGree: Industrious return to action. Replaced by Watmore in the second half.

7 Akpom: Quiet in the first half before popping up with yet another goal. A threat in the second and hit the post.

6 Forss: No lack of effort but found it difficult to get into the game.
