I think the new Cardiff manager will be fairly pleased with what he's seen from his team in that first half.
I thought they started the game really well, they looked bright, they looked sharp, enthusiastic, they had some really good moments on the counter-attack. They've been the team that's worked the goalkeeper the most.
Sheyi Ojo's had a couple of shots, he's worked the goalkeeper, he's seen a lot of the ball in the first half, more than he's probably seen all season.
I think they've defended really well.

In truth this game has not been a classic as yet, but both managers will be reasonably happy at the break.
Rob Edwards' Luton put pressure on Cardiff for a while and will feel their moment will come if they can do the same thing after the break.
And new boss Sabri Lamouchi has seen plenty of endeavour from his Cardiff side, who have looked capable of threatening on the counter-attack.
It looks like a question of who can find a moment of quality in the final third.
The whistle goes to end a first half in which Cardiff came closest to opening the scoring when Callum Robinson hit the bar from range.
It's all to play for at Kenilworth Road.

Elijah Adebayo goes down in the box.
The home fans appeal. Even they do not appear convinced, though.
No penalty.

Best movement of the half there from the Bluebirds. A lot better in terms of moving the ball from the middle of the park, the left, the right to Sheyi Ojo.

Callum Robinson shoots from the edge of the box and forces Ethan Horvath to save, but the flag goes up anyway.

There's a huge difference in how both teams keep possession, how both teams keep the ball and the movement.

Carlton Morris is penalised, for handball it looks like, but claims he was fouled.
He is unimpressed - as are the home crowd.

Cody Drameh backheels the ball to a team-mate to get himself out of a tight corner.
The on-loan Leeds man is enjoying himself this evening.

Elijah Adebayo's eyes lit up there.
Amari'i Bell's sweet cross was heading to the striker at the far post, but Mark McGuinness' diving header saves Cardiff.

Good pressure from Luton, that's what they do. They service the box, they recycle possession.
Cardiff have to be strong tonight. They have to expect that balls are going to come into their box and they have to deal with it.
Luton Town 0-0 Cardiff City
Ever since we mentioned how this had been a fairly even contest, it's been all Luton.
Luton Town 0-0 Cardiff City
An aimless ball forward from Cardiff is easy for the Luton rearguard to deal with.
There is evidence as to why the Bluebirds are the lowest scorers in the division.
Luton Town 0-0 Cardiff City
Luton come forward once more down the right, with Cody Drameh feeding Cauley Woodrow, whose cross is met by Elijah Adebayo.
His header is saved comfortably enough, but the Cardiff left is an issue for Sabri Lamouchi.
Luton Town 0-0 Cardiff City
Luton are looking menacing at set-pieces - and they have another corner.
Once more, Cardiff deal with Alfie Doughty's delivery. Just.

Luton have done some good work down that righ-hand side as you would expect.

Sabri Lamouchi has to be reasonably pleased with what he has seen so far, you would have thought.
Cardiff have defended spiritedly and come closest with that Callum Robinson drive against the bar.

Nothing much has changed in Sabri Lamouchi's first 15 minutes as Cardiff manager, though I think it's harsh to criticise - he's only had a few days to prepare with his players.
However, Cardiff have been the better side in the last few minutes.
Luton Town 0-0 Cardiff City
Now Alfie Doughty's fine recovery challenge puts Luton on the front foot, but a swift break ends as Carlton Morris is snuffed out in the penalty box.
