Luton look set to welcome Steve Robinson back to the side for Saturday's trip to Hartlepool United.

The Hatters midfielder missed Tuesday night's defeat against Swindon Town after suffering from concussion.

But Robinson has returned to training this week and boss Mick Harford has confirmed that the former Bournemouth midfielder will be available for selection.

And the former Spurs man's return may not be the only change to the Hatters side, with Harford admitting he has some 'important decisions' to make for the visit to Victoria Park.

"Steve has been back training," confirmed Harford. "He was missed on Tuesday. He is good at getting them second balls and I'm pleased to have him available at the weekend.

"We don't have any other injury doubts and we have a full squad to choose from.

"There have been players like Sam Parkin, Sol Davis and Lewis Emanuel that haven't played in a long time so it is a matter of getting the balance right.

"I have got a few important decisions to make for Saturday. The players have accepted that Tuesday's defeat was not acceptable so we will see what happens.

"If I have to make a decision to bring new people in then I am sure those players are more than capable of filling in those positions."

Harford will be looking forward to catching up with close friend and former Hatters team-mate Danny Wilson on Saturday.

Wilson is in his second season as the manager of Hartlepool, but after winning promotion from League Two last season, the Club are finding life tough this time around.

Hartlepool have won only once in their last eight games, but Harford knows his side will be in for another difficult afternoon.

Harford added: "Confidence might be low, which may help us because we need all the help we can get at the moment.

"Hartlepool started the season very well and I know the way Danny likes to get his side playing football.

"It's probably a good time to go to Hartlepool and play them, but we are on a similar type of run at the moment so both teams will be scrapping to get the points."

Wilson and Harford are probably best remembered for their spells at Luton as members of the Hatters team that won the 1988 Littlewoods Cup Final against Arsenal at Wembley.

But there will be no love-loss between the two managers on Saturday with both teams in desperate need of the points.

"We will be setting some short term aims and goals for the players to try and achieve within the next couple of days.

"We have some big home games coming up, but we need to get as many points on the board before then.

"We need to remain unbeaten over the next four or five games to give ourselves a chance of surviving and climbing the table. It is achievable and I'm positive we can do it."
