Town defender Charles is ready to push Lacey for his place

Veteran defender Anthony Charles has welcomed the competition for places that has seen young Alex Lacey edge ahead of him in the pecking order with a number of fine performances early in the season, writes Mark Wood.

Charles returned to Luton’s starting line-up for only the second time this season in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Woking.

He said: “That’s what happened in pre-season. There may have been a set team that the gaffer wanted to go with at the beginning of the season. There was an injury to myself which was an opportunity for Lacey who’s taken it and done really well.”
