A goal in either half moved the Hatters into the top half of the table with a deserved victory in Berkshire.

“I thought we were outstanding on the weekend and coming here, when I asked them to do stuff, they do it. When we played Harrogate for example, I just asked them to win the game.

“I knew we were undercooked in a number of ways and today I said that I wanted to go back to back, we haven’t done that for a while and I said that we need back-to-back wins and it was a tricky time this because they are having a tough time but they have some dangerous players, players that can hurt you if you’re not at it but we were excellent.

“Our application was brilliant, Jones continued. “We defended our box really well and we looked a threat and we had enough quality to win the game, that’s what we did. I’m really pleased because with the schedule that we’ve got, I just asked them to win the game tonight and that’s what we did because that was very important.”
