Boss James Beattie has called for Accrington to build on their first point of the season – despite blowing a 2-0 lead.

Stanley drew 2-2 with Luton to end a three-game losing streak and climb off the bottom of Sky Bet League Two on Saturday.

Goals from James Gray and Luke Joyce had put them ahead, before Luke Rooney and Jake Howells rescued Luton, and Beattie is now hunting a first win of the campaign.

“It was a great start to the game and we talked, before the game, about how important it was to begin well.

“However then we dropped off Luton and that’s something I am trying to work with the lads about – the psychological side and how, even if you are leading 2-0, your mental attitude shouldn’t change.

“But we did drop off and allowed them space and that allowed Luton back into the game. John Still is an experienced manager and he changed things around and we know his teams will always be aggressive and on the front foot.

“2-0 is one of those funny scorelines and, when a team comes back, then they usually go on and win the game.

“We had to dig in and in the end we could have won the game. Now we have a brick in the wall and we have got to start adding the cement.”
