Luton boss Rob Edwards pointed to the return to fitness of Elijah Adebayo as a reason for optimism.
The Premier League club are in danger of going straight back down to the Championship.
However, only a couple of points split them from safety, giving Edwards hope for the last few games.
After a loss to Wolves, Edwards said: It's good for us as well to have Eli back, he made a positive impact in the game, that's almost part of his training, getting him up to speed now.
"When he came on he showed some real drive for us. Cauley I thought made a big impact as well, so the subs were good for us, they give us some good decisions going into the next game. It's a real positive for us, we've got a lot of players who are hanging on at the moment.
That back three, we're asking a lot of as well. They're playing through some pain, all three of them at the moment. Gabe's (Osho) feeling quite a few things, we'll see how he is, we'll have to patch him up I think. Losing Issa Kabore as well certainly doesn't help, so to have Eli back that was one silver lining at the end."
