Too many Cardiff players had an 'off night' at Luton

Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts feels too many Cardiff City players had an "off night" as the Bluebirds' six-game unbeaten run was ended by Luton Town.

Jacob Brown's header in the 57th minute earned the Hatters a 1-0 victory against Omer Riza's side at Kenilworth Road as Cardiff slipped to 21st in the Championship.

It was only the club's second defeat in eight matches under Riza - with Cardiff now sitting outside of the division's bottom three on goal difference.

And Roberts feels the Bluebirds will regret not taking at least a point back to south Wales from Bedfordshire.

"It's not the best of nights," he told BBC Radio Wales.

"You've got to take it on the chin and see it for what it was.

"Not the standard that's been set by Omer Riza. It's not an easy place to come to, Kenilworth Road.

"I just get the feeling, had they been at it tonight, it was a game they were more than capable of going back to south Wales with a point.

"Too many players had an off night. They never really tested [Luton goallkeeper, Thomas] Kamisnki, the best opportunity fell to [Anwar] El Ghazi in the first half."
