Braintree Town vs Luton: Change not on agenda for Devonshire

Braintree boss Alan Devonshire could name an unchanged side when his team play host to play-off hopefuls Luton.

The Iron recorded a shock 2-0 win over Grimsby last time out and Devonshire will be reluctant to make too many changes.

Winger Luke Daley netted twice in that fixture and is certain to retain his place but striker Dan Walker is vying for a place in attack alongside Dan Holman and Sean Marks.

Goalkeeper Danny Naisbitt (ankle) is still out so Nathan McDonald keeps his place, while veteran midfielder Bradley Quinton (knee) is also unavailable.

Devonshire's side have won four of their eight league matches since the turn of the year but have lost the rest leaving them four points above the relegation zone.

Luton travel with a near fully-fit squad as they look to get their play-off push back on track.

Only striker Jon Shaw and long-term casualties Garry Richards and Danny Spiller will miss the trip to Essex.

Caretaker manager Alan Neilson has admitted there will be changes to the side beaten 3-2 at home to Mansfield on Saturday.

Neilson, 40, was also in temporary charge the last time the Hatters travelled to the Amlin Stadium where they lost 3-1, but he is hoping for a better show this time round.

"Braintree beat the league leaders at the time, Grimsby, last week on their own patch, so we know it will be difficult," he told the club's official website.

"Last year we went there and didn't show up. I'll be hoping for a better result on Tuesday night."
