Lawless looks to right Stags defeat in double-quick time
Town only played their last game on Sunday, a 1-0 defeat at Mansfield in the semi-finals of the FA Trophy, and tonight’s game coming so soon is hardly ideal preparation for Luton jaded stars.
But Lawless, 28, is relishing the opportunity to put things right so swiftly.

“But we can overcome that with wanting to win.
“If any footballer loses a game on a Saturday they can’t wait for the next to put it right.
“It’s come quicker than usual, but from a personal point of view it’s a good thing.”
And with Luton large contingent of former U’s he admitted this game may have a little more spice to it than usual.

“We’ve got a really good squad and we need that to be competing in the two competitions like we are.”
And he admitted that none of the players can let their performances slip, adding: “As a player you know you can’t let your performance drop a little bit because there’s always someone waiting and it’s good for the team.”
