It was always going to be difficult going to the Abbey Stadium to face Cambridge United.
Our host were sitting pretty in the Conference table and rarely lose at home. Nevertheless, Luton supporters will feel hard done by after leading for so long.
With Gary Brabin naming a strong eleven that surprisingly saw James Dance, despite his injuries elected, the 2,000 strong travelling army would have been deliriously happy to see Stuart Fleetwood put the Hatters ahead.
The goal came with a mere eighteen minutes on the clock when Fleetwood, latching onto a pass from Dance, beat Naisbitt, in the Cambridge goal, from the edge of the area.
Unable to breach the Hatters defence, Cambridge looked to be heading for defeat but with Liam Hughes introduced as a substitute in the seventy-fourth minute it proved to be a master-stroke.
Less than four minutes after having come on, Hughes scored an equaliser after a pass from Gash. With thirteen minutes, plus stoppage time left, both sides could have nicked a winner but it wasn`t to be and the game ended all square.
Luton`s aim of closing the gap on the leading pack had been thwarted but looking at Cambridge`s outstanding home record of only one loss in the last eighteen, perhaps a draw was a more realistic result!
