Jackson says team's performance was 'miles better'

AFC Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson says he was pleased with the fight his team showed in the 1-1 draw with Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.

The Dons came into the game off the back of three straight defeats in League One and conceded eight goals without reply in their past two matches.

But against Wycombe they took the lead through Jayden Stockley and, although this was cancelled out on the hour mark by Fred Onyedinma, Jackson was a happy man.

"[It was] probably a fair result, on balance," Jackson told BBC Radio London.

"They had some moments, we had some moments. But it was a miles improved performance from us on the last two.

"Obviously we wanted a win, but it was important we didn't lose as well.

"My message to the group was that - before we talk about shape, tactics, what we want to look like with and without the ball - it's about running, fighting, being hard to beat and coming up against your man and trying to win some duels.

"The response from my team was good in that regard."
