Under-fire Luton boss determined to fight on despite admitting R’s loss has left him ‘on the ropes’
Under-fire Hatters boss Rob Edwards remains determined to fight on as Luton manager despite admitting he felt like was ‘on the ropes’ after yet another dismal away result at QPR last night.
The Town chief saw his team beaten 2-1 at Loftus Road go down to what is now a 10th straight league defeat outside of Bedfordshire this term, as they are closing in on the 11 successive losses suffered when Graeme Jones was in charge of the Hatters back in the 2019-20 campaign. In fact they are just two short of the all-time record now, that happening almost 100 years ago when Town returned pointless from 12 matches in a row when they were plying their trade in Division Three South during the 1927-28 season.
Despite the result seeing yet more supporters call for Edwards to leave, as they had done vociferously following the New Year’s Day reverse at home to Norwich City, he reiterated his desire to fight on, saying: “I want to work. We believe in this group, but this (leaving) is not something I want to do. I love this club, we’ve had great times here, this is a really difficult period and really challenging. We’re continuing to get hit, we’re on the ropes and getting hit after hit after hit, but no-one’s giving up, you can see that, the fight is there and that’s what we’ll continue to do.
