Kaminski: "The energy is there"

Hatters keeper frustrated with result but happy with 'top class' performance

Christ Makosso and Thomas Kaminski in conversation as they walk off the Kenilworth Road pitch at half-time of the goalless draw with Middlesbrough.

Goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski believes the performance levels in the goalless draw with play-off chasers Middlesbrough will help the Hatters squad continue to build momentum in the fight for Championship survival.

Our Belgian international kept his second successive clean sheet at Kenilworth Road as Town added another valuable point to the three picked up against Portsmouth in the last home outing, as well as the maximum haul from the midweek trip to Cardiff.

The former Blackburn stopper told LTFC+: “I think after the first half we can be frustrated because we didn’t score, but I thought that performance wise it was really good. I know that at this moment in time, it doesn’t really matter, I think the three points matter, but I think it gave us a confidence boost again and a momentum that we can build.

“Defensively and organisation wise it was top class, it was brilliant. We are disappointed that we didn’t get the win, and especially because I think we did deserve to win today.

“It’s a frustrating one, but we have to keep going. Eight important games and now with the international break we have the time to prepare well for Hull.”

Kaminski is determined to keep the Town in the second tier, and it now looking forward to the trip to Hull after the international break.

“We need to get the confidence levels up for Hull, that’s the main thing,” he said. “We have to believe in each other that it is still possible, and we have to do it.

“Cardiff is a good example, today is a good example. We played against a good side today and we gave away zero shots on target, and we have to turn that in our favour and keep going and get what we want.”

Asked if he felt a corner had been turned with recent results and performances, he replied: “Yes, and the energy is there, the vibe and the momentum. I think it’s very important. We have to push ourselves, we have to push our luck a little bit ourselves, because we have to deserve the luck as well, and we have to do it.”
