Luton Town midfielder Liam Walsh believes making Kenilworth Road a "fortress" has been a key factor in their climb up the League One table.

Saturday's 2-1 win over Stevenage made it 10 home games unbeaten in all competitions and put the Hatters just one place and one point off the play-off places.

"We went 1-0 down to a decent side who are high up the league and it didn't faze us - we still kept creating stuff and for us to come back and win is a massive step," Walsh told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"We didn't play our best but we had the fans there with us and it shows what it can do to a side when they've got the fans behind them, pushing them on to go and get a win.

"We want teams to come here and not fancy themselves against us and just try to get away with a draw."

Gideon Kodua scored the winning goal for the Hatters and now has four goals in his past three games.

"He's flying at the minute - everything he hits seems to go in and when you've got players like that on the pitch, you just want to keep giving them the ball and let them do their stuff," added Walsh.

Luton have two more home games this week, against Swindon Town in the EFL Vertu Trophy last 16 on Tuesday and second-placed Lincoln City in the league on Saturday.
