'Turning point was when Edwards said we were going back to being us'

Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer has been discussing how the Hatters have changed their style of play to suit the Premier League on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.
"We lost 3-0 against Chelsea and we were playing in a 3-5-2, we had played like that since last season and we stuck at it," Lockyer explained.
"The problem is, at this level, they were literally just going side to side and our three midfielders were just being pulled left and right.
"You could be the fittest man in the world but, if you have to do that shift for 90 minutes, there will be gaps that appear. At this level, the players are good enough to find those gaps and punish you.
"We sat down, there were a couple of us with Rob Edwards, and I think he said: 'Look, how do you want to go about it, guys?'
"It was before one of the games against the big boys and he said that we were expected to lose the game, nobody has got us down for absolutely anything, if we're going to lose then let's go about it our own way, let's give the fans what they want to see.
"I think that was the turning point when he said that we were going back to being us."
