Luton boss Edwards: Fans have shown themselves very special

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards was full of praise for his club's supporters this week.

The newly promoted side are in danger of going straight back down to the Championship.

However, Edwards believes if they can somehow avoid the drop, it will be down to the incredible support they get home and away.

He stated after a loss to Manchester City: “Today wasn't going to derail us whatever happened. I'm glad we're out of it, but the supporters have been incredible, all season long.

“Home and away, standing and behind the players and me and that is really special, I don't think any club can say they've done that really home and away all season.

"I know it's unique for us, it's our first season in the Premier League and hopefully we can have more, but it gives me belief that they're going 'come on, we're with you.' That's special, it really is and I think that makes us unique in the fight we're in at the moment. The players, the staff, they give me that belief as well. We know we're capable in the next five games.

"That's not me saying we're going to win them all. We feel we can win enough games, we've got three home games at Kenilworth Road where I think it's difficult for any team to come to and we look forward to it. We are up for this challenge and I think we will get stronger in the next few weeks as we will get some more bodies back."
