Russell Martin:ย โDespite the defeat on Tuesday night, we love being here. We always look the team we want to be at home.
โMaybe sometimes we are not quite as fluid or as quick as we would like, but weโre creating chances and we now need to make sure we take those.
โThey have some really outstanding players at this level and we need to make the most of our opportunities.โ
Tony Mowbray:ย ย โLuton went to Swansea in midweek and managed to win there because of their intensity and hard work.
โHaving watched that game, Swansea are a good football team who had over 70 percent of the ball.
โOn the moments of transition, when we win the ball back, can we pick those spaces and pick those runs?
โWeโll have to be clinical against a side who must be fragile on the back of the results theyโve had, despite their pleasing on the eye football.
