Henry expecting tough test from play-off chasing Reds

Luton have won their last 12 Skrill Premier games at Kenilworth Road, scoring 46 goals and conceding 10.

The fourth-placed visitors have picked up some stunning results on their travels though this season, winning at Macclesfield, Wrexham, Kidderminster and most recently Cambridge United.

Henry said: “You’ve got to pay your respects to them, they’ve done very well.

“I think they’re a part time side, a very good side.

“As long as we do what we know we can do and play as well as we do, we know it’s hard to beat us.

“They’re going to be a good side and will put up a good fight, so they’ll be decent.

“You can’t take any games easy. Every game’s different, any side can turn up on their day.

“But if we turn up and the fans get behind us and club get behind us, there’s no stopping us.”

Town trounced the Reds 5-0 back in December, a result that has kickstarted Luton into a run of 11 wins from their next 12 league matches.

On whether it was the best display of the season though, Henry continued: “I keep going back to the Macclesfield game, it wasn’t pretty football there, all of us had to dig in.

“The Alfreton game, people look back and maybe it was the start of something.

“Some of the football in the first half, especially the front six was some of the best I’ve seen in this league.”

Injured midfielder Jonathan Smith is also wary of the Reds’ threat, especially after the hammering Town handed out before Christmas.

He added: “It’s going to be a tough game for the lads. We beat them 5-0 away from home, they’re going to come here and want to prove something.

“I know if I was in their position and coming here to play top of the league, I’d be like, I want to give it everything, so I’m sure they’ll feel like that.”
