Luton boss Kevin Blackwell is calling for his side to find that cutting edge in front of goal following their 2-1 defeat to Bristol Rovers on Saturday afternoon.

The Hatters went down to two Rickie Lambert goals which were scored either side of a Matthew Spring penalty, which had to be taken three times before being allowed to stand.

But Luton should have really been in control in the first half after dominating possession and keeping Rovers firmly on the back foot.

Speaking at the post match press conference, Blackwell said: "It's a case of could do better.

"It was a near faultless first-half performance, but I still felt we didn't create enough in the last third for all our dominance and possession.

"We went behind to a wonder goal, but the lads got back into it and kept playing.

"The penalty was a farce although Springy held his nerve, but fair play to Bristol Rovers - they kept going.

"They knew they were coming to a fortress and didn't try to come out. They were waiting for a set-play or a penalty and that's what they got."

On the league results, Blackwell added: "Unfortunately for us we've come up against all the promoted sides.

"We played Hartlepool, Dagenham and Swindon when they were on a high after gaining promotion and it was the same again today against Bristol Rovers.

"When we played Leeds last week it was against a team who had won all their games - we just seem to be coming up against teams who are at their best at the moment."
