AFC Wimbledon head coach Robbo: We deserved more than a point at Ipswich

BY KAI BENNETT

Mark Robinson felt AFC Wimbledon deserved more than a point in their 0-0 draw at Ipswich Town.

The result keeps the Dons 19th and five points above the League One relegation zone.

Robinson’s side are unbeaten in five matches.

“I have mixed feelings after that result,” the Dons head coach told the club’s website. “We were excellent in the first half. I hope the fans can see that we were excellent in the first half because I’m sure the fans, like us, are disappointed we only came away with a point.

“The chances were there, they’ve put in a couple of great blocks. We’ve also missed chances that we should’ve scored and the lads know that. The game could’ve been over in the first half an hour, so we’re disappointed.

“We started bright again in the second half. Ayoub [Assal] could’ve scored when he cut inside and tried to round the keeper. After that Ipswich came at us for 20 minutes, they flashed a couple of crosses across the face of goal. I don’t think Nik [Tzanev] has made a save.

“When you’re away from home, teams are always going to have a spell but we nullified that and had our own little spell where we created a couple more chances. Probably not as many as we wanted but it shows how far we have come, we’re coming to Portman Road and we’re disappointed with a draw. We just need to put [relegation fears] to bed on Tuesday.”
