When asked about how he sees his immediate future going into the international break, Edwards said: “That is out of my hands. I want what’s best for the club.”

Just four wins all season and now his joint-worst defeat as Luton boss has led to speculation that his time might at Kenilworth Road might have come to an end.

“If it is, then I’ve loved my time here,” Edwards, who led Luton to promotion to the Premier League in May 2023, told BBC Three Counties Radio. “It’s been two incredible years where we’ve had incredible highs and reached heights that we probably never thought we would, or were capable of.

“But right now, results are too inconsistent and performances have been too inconsistent too. Clearly, I know I’m responsible for that.

“I love this club. Me and my staff have given everything, and always will. I want what’s right for the club.

“But the supporters are the most important people at any football club. I said that when I first arrived. They’ve spent their hard-earned money either leaving first thing this morning to come a really long way or coming up last night. I want to apologise to them. They’re my main concern right now.”
