Luton chief wants to create own history as Town close in on best Championship haul for 15 years

Luton boss Nathan Jones has reiterated his desire to create his own history with the Hatters this season as they close in on a highest Championship points total for 15 years.

Back in the 2005-06 campaign, a Town team containing the likes of Steve Howard, Ahmet Brkovic and Carlos Edwards managed to finish 10th in the second tier with 61 points to their name.

With five games to go, the current crop at Kenilworth Road are already on 56 and know that just two wins would see them rise above that tally.

It wasn’t something that was in Jones’ immediate thoughts though, as the manager said: “I didn’t know that, we have our own points target whatever that is. 

“The points target initially was to get to 51 points, not because 51 keeps you up but 51 is where we finished last year. 

“For us to progress and for it to be classed as a progressive season, then we have to get to 51 points.
