Last night when Allan Campbell scored the Hatters second goal, to wrap up the win away to Reading, Nathan Jones celebrations were a little muted.
Yes, he did pump the air in celebration but the strike, from close range, didn’t see the boss slide along the ground, on his knees, like he did for Kal Naismith’s last-gasp winner against Bournemouth.
Perhaps the memories of hurting his knees and tweaking his hamstring were enough to put him off.
But, nevertheless, Nathan was extremely proud of the performance his side gave, with the gaffer remarking, as reported by The BBC:
“I thought we were excellent, our application was brilliant, we defended our box really well to limit their chances and we threatened at times. We had enough quality to win the game.
“We had a real element of control. The pitch was really poor and it was very tricky to move the ball, and every time we moved it into midfield it was kind of dangerous, but our front two were excellent all night, a real threat.
“We’ve managed to jump into the top half with games in hand so it shows we are in a decent place, but we’ve got to go away from home again on the weekend. It’s a tough, tough schedule.”
Indeed, it is, but Sheffield United (a) is a game we can get something from if the application matches that shown in the last three games.
Right now, I get the impression that Luton Town are on the up and although promotion is viewed, by some, as not being on the agenda, there’s no reason why we can’t push for a top eight finish.
