Luton 1-5 Brentford: What Edwards said

  • Published

Rob Edwards spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Luton's win over Brentford: "It was a very difficult day for us. Brentford were good and we weren't. I've just reviewed the goals, there was a lack of intensity, certainly. In transitional moments they were too quick and goof for us. For some reason we had a lethargy today and that can't happen in the Premier League. They punished us.

"My initial thoughts, and that's just from looking at the goals, was we could have done a lot about every single one of them.

"It is surprising and I hope it is a one off. Knowing this group I'm pretty sure it will be, but we have to bounce quickly. The games are running out and we know what it means.

"Brentford were very good and we were poor. They deserved to win the game. In spells in the first half it looked a very even game. We had moments. It's all ifs buts and maybes. We didn't show enough, certainly in the second half.

"We're fighting for our lives to stay in the Premier League. It shouldn't be hard [to be motivated]. It's a tough day.

"Our supporters are incredible, I'm sorry they had to go through that. We owe them a performance now."
