Nelson Jardim | It’s a really good point for us

Head Coach Nelson Jardim praised his side’s character after they battled to a hard-fought draw at AFC Wimbledon.

After battling back from two goals down, strikes from Michael Spellman and a late penalty from Shane McLoughlin ensured the Exiles left the Cherry Red Records Stadium with a share of the spoils. 

“It’s a really good point for us,” said Jardim post-match. 

"We knew this was one of the games that was going to be difficult. The last two away games, Notts County and then coming here, that's two good points.

"When you keep playing our style and our way, in the end that pays off and it was a well-deserved point.

“The only downside of the performance was that we didn’t control as well as we should the set-plays. That's something we have been doing well but didn’t do as well today, but some credit to the opposition who work hard on set-plays and do very well.

"Not everything was perfect, but I think it's a positive feeling coming to this place, one of the teams who surely are going to be pushing promotion, and I think doing what we did shows we are in a good way. 

“We’ve shown character a number of times this season and we had to show that once again tonight. It shows the culture we trying to build here. We’ve got a good group of young players and a good group of characters in the dressing room. 

“We keep going, keep improving and we look forward to Carlisle on Saturday.”
