'We must be better in both boxes' - Morris

Luton Town skipper Carlton Morris says they must improve in both boxes if they are to have a chance of escaping relegation this season.

The Hatters lost 2-0 at Watford on Sunday despite a positive start to the game and although they matched the home side's shot count (10), they only managed two on target.

"We're in a difficult moment, there's no disputing that, but it's not how many times you get beaten down, it's how you get up and react as a football club and as a human being," Morris told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"We have to score when we're on top and in the ascendancy, and be more diligent defensively. The game's won in both boxes, irrelevant of the overall performance - the best you can do is balance the game in your favour, but in the games we're doing that, we're losing because we've not been good enough in both boxes.

"We need to get that ruthless edge back."

Luton are next in action at home to Portsmouth on Saturday, having drawn 0-0 at Fratton Park in their second game of the season.
