Hatters defender Mark McGuinness hailed a solid away performance after helping his side come away from Hull with all three points on Saturday.
The Republic of Ireland international put in an outstanding shift at the heart of the Town back three, with Alfie Jones’ own goal 13 seconds into the second half enough to secure a second successive away win.
Speaking to LTFC+ after the game, the 24-year-old said: “That felt good. We picked up where we left off just before the international break with another clean sheet, which is always positive.
“We were probably lacking that previously, so I think there was a real solid performance and obviously a bit of luck, and I think we've been missing that, so it's about time we get that bit of luck.”
The shut-out was a third clean sheet in the last five games, and our August signing from Cardiff went on: “Don't get me wrong, we were solid. I felt solid. I think everyone chipped in from the front to the back.
“There was obviously a few moments, but I thought overall were really strong and It's fantastic leading into the game on Saturday. I think it's a good test for us and everyone's feeling good.”
The victory lifted the Hatters to within two points of safety, building on the good results shown before the international break with wins over Portsmouth and Cardiff, along with an excellent performance in the goalless draw with Middlesbrough.
“As I said before, it felt like that. I think that's because of training and what the boys and everyone at training ground is doing, setting standards. We're working hard there, so it's easy to carry into the games now. We go back in on Monday morning and we do the same thing.”
The former Arsenal youngster also spoke of the belief now running through Matt Bloomfield’s squad after the recent run put the Town joint third in the Championship form table over the last five matches.
“You know what this league’s like, it's all about momentum and that winning feeling. If we can replicate that and we feel that and we embrace that, then it puts us in good stead going moving.”
And on keeping successive clean sheets for the first time this season, he smiled: “Look, that's my job, so I'm always happy when we come away with a clean sheet.”
