On Saturday, away to Wycombe Wanderers, it looked very much, until a dramatic late change around, Luton would be on the end of an embarrassing defeat against the bottom of the table club.
Thankfully, three late goals put a completely different complexion on events and what was looking like a doom-laden evening suddenly brightened up.
But, once again, that familiar word inconstancy raised its ugly head.
For the first forty-five minutes it was another lacklustre performance and only the introduction of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Harry Cornick, at the break and Kazenga LuaLua shortly after changed things around.
In his post-match interview, with The BBC, Nathan Jones seemed as frustrated as us when he remarked:
“We felt at half-time we were nowhere near it first half. We brought on real quality and it showed.”
Indeed, such was the difference in the level of performance, the following post, on social media, summed it up perfectly:
Everyone that finished that game for us today, take a bow
NJ needs to give that half time team talk before the game from now on!!!

Continuing, the gaffer also spoke about the sending-off and the difference the substitutions made, further adding:
“Some will say the sending off changed the game, I’m sure it helped, 100%, but I think half-time actually helped the most.
With regards to the sending off, perhaps we should consider the following:
So glad to get the three points today. The red card may have changed the game but there was still a job to be done and the boys stepped up and done it! #COYH

Further remarking, Nathan also added:
“We regrouped, changed the shape a little bit, and started on the front foot. I thought we were excellent second half.”
Yes, we were but it is so infuriating to view this inconsistency on such a regular basis, get it sorted Nathan!
