Morris urges Luton fans to ‘never give up’ in Town’s battle to avoid relegation
Striker optimistic about the Hatters’ chances
Luton skipper Carlton Morris has urged the Hatters’ supporters to ‘never give up’ as he still believes the club can escape relegation to League One this season.
On paper it looks a hard ask for Town do that following Sunday afternoon’s tame 2-0 defeat at local rivals Watford, a result that leaves them five points from safety with 12 matches to go. The first of those is a home clash with a resurgent Portsmouth team on Saturday who have won their last three matches to move 11 points clear of the Hatters. It then gets even harder, Luton visiting a title-chasing Burnley side the following weekend, who have conceded just nine goals all season and are yet to be beaten at Turf Moor.
Although the situation looks fairly bleak for the Hatters, asked if he had a message for fans who are quite rightly starting to lose belief at this stage of the campaign, Morris said: “Never give up, never give up supporting us. We’re a football club, we’re all in this together. When we’ve had the success we’ve all been together, now we’re in the difficult stage, we all stick together.
