Going top a huge incentive for Stacey
The Hatters moved to the summit after winning 1-0 at Southend United last weekend and then strengthened their position by beating Portsmouth 3-2 on Tuesday night.
That saw Town increase their unbeaten league run to 17 games, as Stacey said: "We jut have to take confidence knowing we haven’t been beaten in a while and if we play our game then we are good enough and can match at least any team in this league.
"We talked about it quite a bit, the run we’ve been on.

"It wasn’t an extra pressure, just an incentive, if we went and won, or drew the game, we’d go top, and put pressure on the teams below us."
