Carlton Morris couldn’t fathom the reason behind the Hatters’ poor performance as they were beaten 5-1 at home to Brentford – but vowed his side can bounce back in their fight for survival.
The Bees dominated throughout with Luke Berry scoring a late consolation in a defeat that keeps the Town in the Premier League relegation zone.
“It’s extremely flat in the dressing room,” said the Town captain. “We haven’t really had a result like that, and in that in that fashion this is a tough one to take.
“I think we’ve got to use that as an opportunity now to show what we’re about and our bouncebackability, so we’ll go again next week. I think it’s just like in life: these things happen sometimes. I’m obviously extremely disappointed as are the lads.
“We know, at this stage of the season, it’s tough to accept that if I’m being honest.
“We’ll speak about it. We’ll learn from this like we like we have learned from every game. We’ll evolve and take it into our next game.
“As I said, it hasn't happened in that fashion this season at all. I know what the lads are about. I know the character we've got in the dressing room.
The captain also paid tribute to the Town faithful who stuck behind after the final whistle to applaud the players off.
“The fans have been incredible all season for us,” said Morris “I think that’s going to be crucial for us going forward because at the end of the day we’re still in with a shout and we've got every chance.
“I back myself and my teammates that we can, we can do this, that we can get enough points to stay up and having games and we’re going to need them more than ever.”
