Jackson 'feels sick for players' after Dons loss

AFC Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson said he felt sick for his players after Isaak Davies' added-time winner consigned the Dons to defeat against Cardiff City.

Tuesday's match had been heading for a goalless draw before Davies diverted in David Turnbull's shot from the edge of the area.

The 1-0 defeat leaves the Wombles 14th in the League One table after four games, with two wins and two losses.

"[It's a] Tough one to take, I feel sick about that for my players really, the effort they put in to get no points out of it," Jackson told BBC Radio London.

"It's always disappointing to lose a game. I just said to them in there 'If you play like that week in, week out, we're going to pick up points and win a lot of games because we're a good side'.

"We showed it again tonight, we've showed it in every game so far this season. We've not always got the result but we've always shown that we'll compete and that we're a good team and we belong here."

Isaak Davies scored the winning goal for the Bluebirds in the second minute of added time

Wimbledon's first match back in the third tier following promotion last season was a 1-0 defeat at Luton Town, before victories over Lincoln City and Reading, as well as a penalty-shootout win over Gillingham in the Carabao Cup.

They host Barnsley at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in the league on Saturday before a trip back to Reading in the EFL Cup second round in midweek.

With the transfer window open until Monday, 1 September, Jackson said there could be more players brought in to add to the squad.

"Possibly. We'll just have to see. We're sort of maxxed out with the resources, so whether that means there'll have to be a few outgoings to get people in," he explained.

"Me and Craig [Cope, director of football] might have to get a little creative with it but yeah I think we're going to – I want to strengthen in a couple of spaces in the area, so we'll see."
