Hatters Rated: Cambridge United v Luton Town


Anthony Charles: 7 - Made countless blocks, won loads of headers and played really well until his lack of match fitness seemed to catch up with him.
Solomon Taiwo: 6 - Experienced midfielder kept things ticking but needs to play a more prominent role.

Hide AdAlex Wall: 7 - Powerful striker took his simple goal well and was a real handful for the U’s defence.
Jake Howells: 6.5 - Hatters captain led by example with a decent shift from left-back and went close to snatching victory with a number of good late efforts.
Mark Cullen: 6 - Diminutive striker managed a couple of sharp efforts in, but was well-marshalled by the U’s defence.
Ryan Inniss: 7 - Dream start for the on-loan Crystal Palace starlet as he netted with his first touch. Defended resolutely, but was twice lucky to perhaps not concede a penalty, including one that could have resulted in a red card.

Hide AdDavid Viana: 7 - Hard working Portuguese impressed going forward and got back well and it was a bit of a mystery why he was replaced.
Shaun Whalley: 7 - Lively winger was a constant menace to the U’s defence, but needed more end product.
Kane Ferdinand: 6 - On-loan midfielder did superbly to create Wall’s goal, but was on the periphery far too often.
Brett Longden: 5.5 - Young Hatters full-back was given a torrid time by United’s lively wingers.

Hide AdJon Shaw (sub): 5 - Returning striker forced one good save with a powerful strike and will surely get better game by game.
Ian Rees (sub): 5 - Young midfielder was unlucky to be penalised for one tackle as he looked to make an impact.
