Manager Mick Harford believes this afternoon's game summarised Luton's season.

"It was typical of our season," Harford said. "I've never known a team to create so many chances; the game should have been out of sight by half time.

"Ed was the best player on the pitch this afternoon and I thought that Keith Keane has been outstanding this season, we could do with eleven players like Keith."

And Harford is very clear about what he wants to do in the future.

He added: "It is probably the best thing that could have happened to us as a business. I'm going to build a new Luton Town; bring in new footballers who want to play and have passion.

"I need a clear out, there are some players I don't want to be here and some that I do. The kids are in the squad at the moment because there is no-one else but they have done very well.

"I've got tremendous belief in the consortium, the Club is in good hands.

"I know who I haven't wanted for weeks and we have a list of around 70 players we want in.

"We've got a duty to the team we are playing and our fans to go out and still try and win games."

The disappointment of relegation is something which Harford ranks as the lowest point of his entire career.

He explained: "It is probably the worst thing that has happened to me. I haven't had a worse hurt in my career as I am feeling right now, not as a player, coach or manager. but there won't be any doom and gloom from me.

"It's the beginning of a new era."
