AFC Wimbledon’s manager feels his side should have more points on the board as they prepare to face Carlisle United.

Johnnie Jackson feels the Dons’ efforts are not reflected by their tally of eight points from eight games.

The Wimbledon manager is hoping to steer his side to a first win at Brunton Park tomorrow.

They start the weekend in 15th place early into life back in League Two following last season’s relegation.

“We’ve got experienced, exciting young players, and we need to bring that together,” said the Dons boss.

“I don’t feel like our points tally reflects how we’ve played.

“I know for a fact that the lads feel that way as well – there’s more to come from them.”

Wimbledon have not scored in their last three league games.

It comes as they readjust to life in the fourth tier, with ex-Charlton Athletic boss Jackson having taken charge at the end of last season.

“ I don’t see too many differences between the bottom half of League One and top half of League Two,” added Jackson in a club interview.

“I think in years gone by, the lower down the levels you went, the style would change but now a lot of teams are looking to play good football by building out from the back.

“It’s happening at every level. There’s more money too, which means there’s higher-paid players and overall, better quality players.”

Wimbledon could be without Nathan Young-Coombes with a knee injury, with Paul Kalamyabi suffering a similar problem.

But 6ft 7in striker Kyle Hudlin is available after returning from injury against Northampton Town in Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat.
