'When the pressure's on, are you seeing cracks?'

Luton Town captain Kal Naismith hailed the benefits of working with a sports psychologist following their 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers.

The Hatters went into the game under severe pressure following a 3-1 defeat at Lincoln City in their previous fixture, but Naismith's goal - his first for the club since his first spell in 2022 - was enough to secure three points.

"It's easy when you're going well, it's easy when you're winning, but when you're getting beat, when the pressure's on, are you together as a team or are you seeing cracks, seeing people whispering about this and that," Naismith told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"I never saw any of that and I was confident we were going to get a response. Nicola (McCalliog) was just incredible, I've got to credit so much to her, a sports psychologist.

"She comes in and works with us and we had a really good week together. Everybody as one."

Matt Bloomfield switched to a back four for the Doncaster game and Naismith said: "It's something the manager wanted to do, he wanted to change it, and and it worked for us.

"But the facts are us players on the pitch, we weren't performing we were letting each other down, we were letting the staff down. We had the exact same principles with a back three, being aggressive but weren't getting the timing right."

Luton are 10th in League One and in action again on Tuesday with an away game against struggling Blackpool.
