Blackett expecting another tough slog

Luton have been beaten to the Conference title by Stevenage Borough and Crawley Town in the last two seasons, before falling in the play-offs to York City and AFC Wimbledon.

This year, it looks like Fleetwood Town will be splashing the cash a la Crawley Town, while the likes of Wrexham and York City are both setting their stalls out for a title push, with relegated sides Stockport County and Lincoln City hoping to bounce back at the first opportunity.

Blackett said: “It will just be as tough. Fleetwood are spending the money, but we’ve got the players here.

“Last year we fell just short, it was only a penalty shoot-out defeat. If we can keep the nucleus of the side together, with the few additions we’ve made already, I think we’ve got a great chance, as good a chance as we’ve had the last two years.”
