Matt Bloomfield: Luton boss says they fell below recent standards against Blackburn after positive form

Luton Town boss Matt Bloomfield said his side were below par in the home defeat against Blackburn Rovers.

“We really felt we were building momentum and our performances have been good,” Bloomfield told BBC Three Counties Radio.

“But that wasn’t good enough for the standards we have been setting and we are very disappointed.

“Blackburn have had a tough run of results but they have a very good group of players.

“We gave a goal away just after half-time which gave us a mountain to climb and we lacked that bit of composure at the top of the pitch.

“There were loads of final-third entries and we hit the bar twice but we have not been clinical enough to get the equaliser and then chase the winner.

“We believe in the group we have. We’ve had some tough moments and have always come out the other side and it’s up to us to do it again.”

With four games remaining, the result leaves the Hatters next to bottom of the table, effectively four points from safety with their poor goal difference.
