Ardley happy with Dons effort

Manager Neal Ardley felt a point was the least AFC Wimbledon deserved for their performance at Fleetwood in League Two on Saturday.

The Dons' recent revival under Ardley continued as they battled back to earn a 1-1 draw at Highbury Stadium. Fleetwood took an early lead through Steven Gillespie but Byron Harrison headed his fourth goal in as many games to peg back the hosts.

"It's good to get a point, but I thought maybe we could have taken more," said Ardley. "First half we were a little bit safe, a little bit nervous. But we got into them after half-time and I thought we were braver. The boys responded really well and the way we played in the second half was excellent.

"A few wrong decisions here and there and a little bit of quality have probably cost us the second goal."

Harrison's goal was his seventh of the season for the Dons but Ardley insisted credit should go to his whole team.

He added: "Byron's scored again and it's great for our strikers to score but it's all about the team and it was a fantastic energetic performance. I'm really proud of them."
