“Disappointed is an understatement.” said Riza. “We’re putting a lot of energy into the games, we’re getting ourselves in good positions at times, but the same mistakes keep happening over and over. There are nine games left and we need to correct it.
“I can’t knock the effort or the commitment from the players, but the things that are costing us points are the same mistakes being repeated. All the games we haven’t won or taken points from is because of these reasons.
"Now, this is a fight. Now we’ll see who will step up and fight for this club. It looks like this is fight or flight.
“We’re in a real tough spot at the moment but it’s my job to deal with it. We’ve lost two games against two teams who are well up there in the league that we should have potentially taken some points from, but like I’ve said, we can’t talk about it as we haven’t done that. We’ve lost to a team tonight in and around us which really was our own undoing, so I’m really disappointed.”
“We’ve got nine games left, so we’ve got to fight for every game, every minute, every blade of grass and try and get results. We go back in and we prepare for Blackburn next to correct it.
"We’ll reassess everything, we’ll assess the squad, who is available or who is not, and I will be making the necessary changes to the squad to get the most out of it to get the result, and select the boys to go out on the pitch that want to fight.”
Luton's Matt Bloomfield:
"We've been talking for a little while about the cluster of clubs above us we have to target.
"Cardiff are one of those and this is about keeping our feet on the floor because it's just one result.
"But it's given us a nice lift, a real confidence boost. Much has been made of the away form, but that's now out of the way so we can concentrate on the job in hand."
