AFC Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson says his players should take encouragement from their performance against Stockport County.

The Dons took an early second-half lead at Edgeley Park on Saturday through Jayden Stockley, which they held until Jack Diamond's 64th-minute equaliser. Ethan Ennis then scored the winner for the hosts.

The victory leaves Stockport in second in League One, with the Dons down in 18th after a run of seven games without a win, but Jackson is not concerned after recent displays.

"The last two performances have been a lot better. We've looked more like a Wimbledon team," he told BBC Radio London.

"We want to pick up points as well. I think we will if we continue to show up like we did [against Stockport].

"I think we can take encouragement from the fact that we caused them plenty of issues. They did to us as well and we just come out the wrong side of a close one."

AFC Wimbledon are next in action on Saturday in the FA Cup first round, away at Crewe Alexandra, who are fourth in League Two.
