LUTON Town boss Graeme Jones felt his side got what they deserved as they fell to a third straight defeat.
Lewis Grabban and Sammy Ameobi were on target for the visitors, who appeared to be coasting to victory, until Callum McManaman pulled one back with three minutes remaining.
However, Jones didn’t pull any punches in his post-match press conference, saying: “I could easily hide behind 70 per cent possession and two offside goals disallowed, Kaz (Kazenga LuaLua) was unlucky, Callum scored a great goal, but I’m not going to.
“I was disappointed with the performance, the first time I’ve been really disappointed, the performance wasn’t good enough.
“It was a totally different challenge to the one we’ve had previously in the Championship, we had Forest and we need to mark how far we’ve come.
“Former two-times European Cup winners, sit in and play on the counter-attack at Luton and I think we struggled for craft and creativity to break that down.
“Losing Izzy Brown so early didn’t help, we tried everything and it wasn’t enough. I haven’t (seen the two disallowed goals back), but we weren’t good enough to win, that’s the truth.”
