Luton try to get back to winning ways away from home against the struggling Seagulls. Brighton have taken Gifton Noel-Williams on loan this week.
Vital Quotes:
Mark McGhee on Brighton’s official website:
(referring to new loan signing Gifton Noel-Williams) ‘He knows Colin quite well – they’re mates – which may be a positive thing for Colin.
‘Obviously there are other options as well. We’ve played Joe Gatting recently, we’ve played Harty up there, who did brilliantly at QPR and I thought was our best player.
‘Maybe Jake? Jake has been out of sorts but Gifton is the sort of player that Jake could easily respond to. So there are options. We’ll see in training how Gifton fits in and see predominantly what he’s going to bring to us. We have a fair idea but we’ll see him at work and then make our decision as to who goes alongside him on Saturday.’
ike Newell on Luton’s official website:
‘We have to try to and win as many games as possible, without a doubt.
‘Mathematically we can still reach the play-offs and whilst it is, we will not give up hope of reaching the top six.
‘In failing of finishing in the play-offs, then we need to finish in the league as high as we possibly can because I think that will reflect the season we have had.’
