Jonathan Smith and Jake Gray set for Luton starts

Posted Thursday, May 04, 2017 by PA

Luton boss Nathan Jones could bring midfield duo Jonathan Smith and Jake Gray into his starting line-up for the last game of the regular season against Morecambe.

The Hatters have secured a place in the play-offs meaning bit-part players such as Smith and Gray may be handed game time as Jones rests more key members of his squad.

Midfielder Lawson D'Ath is doubtful but will be assessed after sustaining an injury over the Easter weekend but striker Danny Hylton returns from a one-match ban.

Johnny Mullins (hamstring) returned to the bench during the 4-1 win at Accrington and could start but Jordan Cook (knee) remains a doubt.

Morecambe are once again set to be at full strength.

As was the case for the Shrimps' final home game of the campaign - last weekend's 1-1 draw with Wycombe - boss Jim Bentley appears to be unhindered by injury problems and there are no suspensions.

That result, which made it only one defeat in their last five matches, left Bentley's men 18th in the table.

They could finish their troubled season one place above that, with Morecambe currently level on points with 17th-placed Crewe, while 21st is the lowest they might end up.
