Carlton Morris: Luton must end 'domino effect' of away defeats

Luton Town captain Carlton Morris promises the team will re-double efforts to break the "domino effect" of damaging defeats away from home.

Luton won 11 away games, compared to 10 victories at home, during their promotion campaign in 2022-23.

But they were only successful on the road twice in the Premier League last term, and have so far managed four points out of a possible 36 away from Kenilworth Road in the current campaign.

Their sole away victory this season was a 1-0 success at Millwall in September, when Teden Mengi scored the only goal.

"There's no excuses, we need to find a way to be better in both boxes because these games, the last three especially, have been tight and we've found ourselves on the wrong side of the result in each and every one of them," said Morris.

"I can't say a bad word about the lads in the effort category, the running stats back that up. But we need to find a way to get results away from home at the minute and whatever the answer may be, we are going to find it because we work too hard not to and that's not going to stop - we'll never give up."

Luton again received enthusiastic backing from the majority of their supporters who made the journey to Shepherd's Bush.

Morris added: "This club, this community, is tight-knit, always has been. When it's going well we're together, when it's not going so well, we're together - and when we come out of it, which we will inevitably, because it's a great set of lads that are willing to work hard, that won't be forgotten.

"We'll be taking the positives because there was some nice football but when you're on top in games at this level, you have to score. If you're not doing that, you will get punished.

"It's been like a domino effect (away from home), it has snowballed, but we're going to be working so diligently and sort this out."
