Bloomfield impressed by Stevenage form under Revell

Luton Town boss Matt Bloomfield has praised the work of counterpart Alex Revell ahead of Saturday's away game against Stevenage.

The pair were once team-mates at Wycombe Wanderers when Revell was on loan there in 2010 - and he has now steered Boro to second place in League One with seven wins from nine games.

"Stevenage are very organised, they work incredibly hard. Revs has had real good consistency among their group, coupled with good recruitment over the summer - I'm not surprised how they've started at all," Bloomfield told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"Revs is someone I think incredibly highly of. We shared a dressing room together at Wycombe for a little while. I wanted it to be longer but he moved on to Leyton Orient.

"He had a tough first spell as manager at Stevenage but he went away to coach for a bit and come back; he's done an incredible job. They've stuck with their guy and he's come through the other side and is getting the rewards for it.

"We see the game and people (in a) similar way, the morals and values we stand by, we're very similar in that regard."

Luton have taken four points from their last two games following back-to-back defeats and are seventh in the table, two points outside the top six.
