Gary Brabin has called on the Kenilworth Road critics to band together and back his men until the end of the season.
Last weekend’s 1-0 league win over Alfreton drew jeers from the crowd at the final whistle and with the division’s top two Wrexham and Fleetwood again winning - the latter through an injury time goal - it saw Luton remain a frustrating ten points off the pace.
The Hatters boss refused to rule out winning the title but said he could sympathise with the reaction and the growing thought among fans that they are destined for the play-offs for a third year in a row.
And he admits it’s another frustration that adds to others built up over a number of seasons of relegations and failed promotion bids.
“I look it at from a fans’ point of view - they’re frustrated, you know they’ve had a lot of bad luck in the previous years, that’s not to do with anyone connected with the club at the moment, so all I can say is that we’re working hard and trying our best to get this club back where it belongs.
“We’ve got no divine right to achieve that. We’ve got to work hard and we’ve all got to pull hard in the right direction to achieve that.”
He conceded that the dissatisfaction aired by some supporters last week was down to a below par performance but explained that even the best teams in the world fall flat on occasion.
He said: “I keep using Barcelona as an example. For me, they’re the best side I’ve ever seen in my life time.
“You watch them in the big games and they show you what a fantastic team they are. Everyone watches it and witnesses it but it’s not like that every week.
“You watch them the week after they’ve had a big performance and they’ll end up drawing 1-1 against the lower sides. I think Tenerife beat them after a big game and it happens at every level.
“You’ve just got to sustain it, you analyse a club after every season, your Manchester Uniteds and Barcelonas, and you’re not going to be play fantastically well every week and win every game every week.
“At the moment Manchester City are going through a bit of a slope, dropping points and I’m sure their fans will be disappointed but we do understand the frustration and we feel it as well.
“All we ask is that we pull together, we have a fantastic chance at getting promotion, we all want the same thing and we’ll all just need to pull in the right direction.”
