Edwards delighted with Luton fight-back at Forest: I'm really proud

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards was delighted with their fighting spirit for Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.

The Hatters fought back from 2-0 down to earn the point.

Edwards said: “I'm really proud of the players today.

"The spirit, the fight and determination they have shown, from the whole group, as we had to make some changes as well and that really pleases me.

"We finish games strongly, we've done that, we will never give up.

"We will always keep fighting, keep staying in it.

"If our supporters are standing up and clapping us off, because they can see that we've given everything then if we lost I might not be happy, but at least I'll be able to sleep at night.

"We give everything and fight to the very end,

“We really want to emphasise that, the lads don't give up, they fight, they fight, they fight, they fight to the end.

"We've got to keep doing that as what's the point in being here if you're just going to give up and roll over at 2-0 down?

"That just shows we're capable of coming back, we're capable of sticking our hand in the fire and pulling out a result.

"We can lean on that today and we can really use that going forward.

"It doesn't surprise me, it doesn't surprise me at all.

"I know we're capable of it and it's good we've shown everyone else we're capable of it today."
