Harford hails Hatters performance

Tom Craddock, Sam Parkin and Asa Hall scored to give Luton their first win of 2009 while Shrewsbury, who levelled through skipper Ben Davies, missed a string of chances and are without an away win in the league since August.Harford, who on Tuesday saw his team book a trip to Wembley for the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, said: "It has been a good week for us and we put in a strong performance after the game against Brighton."The players acquitted themselves really well on a pitch which isn't conducive to the football we like to play. I asked the players to get the ball in early behind them and get them turning because of the conditions and they did that."Shrewsbury are a good outfit - they get the ball forward early and they have two very experienced centre forwards, who know how to play the centre forward role."Fair play to Dean Brill and our back four for standing firm and to get three goals as well was a fantastic effort."
