Hatters rated v Lincoln City
Steve McNulty: 7.5 – Commanding and rugged performance at the back as the Imps’ strikeforce made little impression and showed great composure to use the ball sensibly which led to Luton’s third.

Hide AdAlex Lawless: 7 – Great to see him back after injury and illness and linked play well, without reaching the very heady heights we all know he is capable of.
Jon Shaw: 7 – Hold up play made a real difference for the Hatters but would be lovely to see the goals flow from the prolific marksman.
Simon Ainge: 7.5 – Back in his preferred position of centre-half the former Guiseley man looked much more at home as Lincoln were barely given a sniff.

Hide AdDavid Martin: 8 – Direct winger scored twice, but should have had four as he showed a real ruthlessness in front of goal after an early miss.
Matt Robinson: 7 – Youngster’s star is on the rise as he put in a mature and effective performance in the heart of Hatters’ midfield.
Jonathan Smith: 7 – Full of energy as ever but showed much more composure on the ball and picked some telling passes on the night.

Hide AdRonnie Henry: 7 – Played a full part both defensively and in attack and you would never have known he is set to go under the knife on Thursday.
Andre Gray: 8 – Took his goal superbly, laid on Martin’s second and was a constant terror to the Imps’ defence on the right-hand prong of a front three.
Scott Griffiths: 7 – Still some way away from match fitness but put in a composed and effective showing and didn’t look out of place.

Hide AdScott Rendell (sub): 6.5 – Showed some nice touches, linked play well and combined especially well with Gray.
Alex Wall (sub): 6 – Straight into the thick of it and carried a threat against Lincoln’s dispirited defence.
Dan Walker (sub): N/A – Late replacement didn’t have enough time to make any real impression.
