Luton Town boss Rob Edwards has explained his reasoning for a specific personnel decision.

Edwards was asked after a 3-1 defeat to Brentford about the reason didn't bring on Ryan Giles as a left wingback.

The 23-year-old was signed as a wingback in the summer for a club record fee from Wolves.

However, Edwards appears to see Giles as more of an attacker than a defender.

Post-game, Edwards said: “Gileo, I see more as a winger at the moment to be honest, and I've told him that. At the moment, I think his attributes are crosses and final third actions as well, so that's his challenge, to try and get into the team in that position, that's why.

"Browny I felt will do the running, that was needed, Issa to be able to deal with Mbeumo, defensively, that's not Gileo's biggest strength. We knew that when we brought him in, we thought Issa would be able to deal with their most dangerous player probably better than Gileo.

"It was good for him (Brown), two goals in two, I thought it was a really good goal as well, from the wingback position as well. I put him in a position that I don't really want to play him in, but he gives everything for the team and he had a real positive impact on the game Browny."
