Hatters Rated: Chester v Luton Town

Jonathan Smith: 8 - Powerhouse in the midfield with his driving runs and tackling, but lacked the killer pass, although did almost win it at the death as his dipping volley flew just wide.

Steve McNulty: 7 - Powerful centre-half was uncompromising as ever and his one mistake was well covered by Lacey.

Alex Lawless: 6.5 - Great to see the all-round midfielder back and his influence will surely grow as he plays more games.

Scott Griffiths: 8 - Lung-busting performance from the left-back who defended brilliantly and burst forward to good effect and was denied a brilliant late winner from his thunderous long-range shot.

Andy Parry: 6.5 - Adds much-needed height and steel to Town’s midfield.

Luke Guttridge: 6.5 - Energetic midfielder again kept things ticking in the middle.

Ronnie Henry: 7 - Skipper defended solidly and got forward to good effect, putting in a couple of dangerous crosses.

Paul Benson: 7 - Target man again led the line superbly and stood up to another buffeting without getting a clear sight of goal.

Andre Gray: 7.5 - Lively striker took his goal superbly and was a constant menace.

Alex Lacey: 7 - Youngster won plenty of headers and saved the experienced McNulty once, but needs to communicate better at the back.

Jake Howells (sub): 6 - Naturally left-sided Welshman gave the Hatters real direction and provided a threat out wide.

Mark Cullen (sub): 5.5 - Busied himself and looked to get involved, but denied team-mate Griffiths a wonder goal when he got in the way of his late long-range strike.

Shaun Whalley (sub): 5 - Gave away one dangerous free-kick away and saw one late chance go begging.
