Paul Buckle: Think on your feet

Luton Town manager Paul Buckle has urged his players to learn how to adapt their tactics on the spot, after their goalless draw against Gateshead.

Buckle believes the players failed to play to target man Craig McAllister's strengths on Tuesday.

The Hatters boss wanted his charges to switch their game-plan and focus more on sending threatening crosses in from the wings, instead of keeping it on the floor.

Buckle told Luton Today: "At the end when we've put Macca on, you've got to play to Macca's strengths.

"Although the boy's all right into feet, Macca's strength is in the air.

"He is a handful on the angle and I thought that's when we looked at our most dangerous.

"When we got quality ball into him he nodded things down and we probably didn't do that enough, we should have done it a bit more.

"When we got into wide areas we were reluctant to put it in, but that's because we've been passing the ball.

"We had to change our game-plan, that's where you're looking for the lads on the pitch to realise that and problem solve."

Luton's final league game is away at Blue Square Bet Premier champions Fleetwood Town. A draw would be enough to secure their spot in the play-offs, unless Kidderminster beat Mansfield by a 12-goal margin.
