Luton attacker Chiedozie Ogbene: We can't celebrate courageous defeats

Luton attacker Chiedozie Ogbene says they must show more confidence in their Premier League survival push.

Ogbene is convinced a pointless Luton have been improving game by game.

He said: “If you look at our performance from the first game, Brighton, Chelsea to now (West Ham loss), I think we're improving and we're improving very quickly.

"It was a very good West Ham team, but myself, and the players and the manager, we don't want to celebrate losses.

“Yes I know we're getting applause but we're now disappointed that we're not getting the results and that we didn't get a draw against West Ham.

“That's the mentality we have and hopefully with this break, we can come back with a bit more arrogance to the game.

"We respect teams, but we have to believe that we are good enough for this league and we have shown it.

"Towards the end of the game, when we got the goal and the crowd lifted us, if we start games like that, we will get results in this league."
