Luton boss Edwards sets out survival target

Luton boss Rob Edwards knows they must go on a winning run to prevent relegation.

The Premier League new boys are facing six cup finals as they look to avoid going straight back down.

The Hatters did win their first game in ten matches against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Asked about survival, Edwards said: “I don't know what points it's going to take. I don't know what is going to happen elsewhere.

“Clearly next week is going to be difficult against City away, but we will go there with a plan and try and compete like we have in every single game. We know how difficult that is and what they're fighting for, after that there's five games against teams that we can get points.

"So clearly they're going to be really, really important and like today we will put the pressure on (the players). If I say three wins, it gives us a chance. We might need four, we might need another 12 points which is some going from the remaining games, but what we've done, we're in the fight at the moment.

"We're in that mix, so it's difficult to say how many we're going to need, what we're going to need. We're going to just go into every game and try our best and try to win it. We have got games there that we'll go in with total belief that we can as well. Hopefully we get some bodies back as well in the next few weeks. We're working really hard and hopefully we can only get stronger from here on in."
