'We've had a feel for the league now' - Saville

Luton Town midfielder George Saville has stressed the value of patience as the Hatters look to bounce back from successive relegations in the past two seasons.

Saville joined Luton from Millwall this summer and scored his first goal in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Wigan, their third victory in four games at the start of the new campaign.

"It's a good start when you look at the big picture," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"At the start of the season, if you were asked three (wins) out of four, you'd take that. Nine points on the board, it's important to win games.

"We've had a feel for the league now, we know what it's going to be like, teams are giving their all and it's about us staying patient, doing the basics right and then our quality should shine through in the end.

"It's important we inject pace into the game and play at our tempo and our level, play how we want to play - it's very easy to get in a lull, easy to get dragged into a cagey fight, (and) that slows rhythm in a game.

"Teams are making it hard for us for a long period of time but when they start getting tired, that's when we start dominating the ball."

Luton are at home to Cardiff City - also relegated from the Championship last term - in a lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.

"We're in League One for a reason and it's about what we do now, it's important we show that we want to get straight back out," Saville added. "The same with Cardiff, so it will be a good game on Saturday."
