JONES RUES LACK OF CUTTING EDGE

Misfiring Hatters held again

- Gary Dabson

NATHAN Jones blamed his Luton Town side’s poor form in front of goal for their failure to reach the play-offs.

The Hatters took the lead through Glen Rea’s third goal of the campaign, only to concede an equaliser within 60 seconds of the restart with Duncan Watmore on target.

Leading scorer James Collins then missed a penalty with 19 minutes to go, his effort easily saved by goalkeeper Jordan Archer.

Boss Jones said: “I think that’s why we’re not top eight and pushing for top six at the minute as we’ve missed opportunities.

“There’s a lot of games where we should have taken more and we should have a greater points haul and be closer to those who are challenging for play-offs.

“But we’ve come a long way, let’s not forget that, but I’m disappointed as we should have won.”
