Jack Wilshere saw his life as Luton manager get off to a losing start as the Hatters were beaten 2-0 by Mansfield at Kenilworth Road.
Rhys Oates and Tyler Roberts struck either side of half-time to hand Wilshere a defeat in his first match since replacing the sacked Matt Bloomfield.
A First Half of Missed Chances
The visitors almost led after three minutes when an unmarked Tyler Roberts shot too close to goalkeeper Josh Keeley. Luton then grew into the contest and were denied an opener after 32 minutes as Jordan Clark's curling effort was brilliantly tipped on to the post by Liam Roberts.
