Graeme Jones said celebrated a third Luton win in a week and said it’s an achievement that doesn’t happen very often in world football.
His side had to come from a goal down against Huddersfield and they did so through a James Collins penalty and a stunning strike from Andrew Shinnie.
After a tough start to life in the Championship, where they didn’t taste victory for their opening four games, including three straight defeats for the first time since April 2016, the Hatters are now firmly up and running.
This was their second straight triumph in the division after beating Barnsley 3-1 away last weekend, and with a commanding Carabao Cup win over Cardiff on Tuesday, Jones was delighted.
“If you look round world football, three wins in seven days doesn’t happen very often, especially at this level,” he said.
“You have to be totally committed, totally focused on each game, which is really, really demanding.
“The most important thing for me is we played in three completely different styles in all three games and I said right at the beginning of my time here, we’d have to be adaptable and we were.
“Obviously we’ve played two teams (with ten changes to the side that won in Wales) this week as well, so we’ve been in a fortunate position that we could rotate and I think that paid dividends today.”
After Luton went behind against the run of play in the 47th minute, Jones made a tactical switch, taking off the excellent Jacob Butterfield – a more defensive-minded midfielder – and replacing him with Chelsea loan ace Izzy Brown.
It helped put the hosts on the front foot and within ten minutes they were back on terms.
Jones said: “Today was about substitutions and they showed character that I know is in the group and that mixture, with the supporters, it’s a two way thing.
“I’m just really satisfied, as it’s very, very difficult to do, win three games in seven days.
“They (Huddersfield) didn’t give us the freedom we had last week (at Barnsley), they put an extra forward on the pitch instead of a midfield player, they changed their wingers, they swapped them over.
“The wingers had real pace, we had to contend with that, and then going 1-0 down, you need to see everybody’s response.
“I think everybody’s response was absolutely first class.”
