With the mood around Plough Lane at a red-hot high, the Wombles have rightfully received a string of plaudits. Last seen putting in another eye-catching performance as they secured a 2-0 victory away at Blackpool, the former Charlton boss has seen his squad skyrocket their way into the play-off places. Knowing that they can move within touching distance of top spot here, AFC Wimbledon have remarkably won all of their previous five straight appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 11-4.
With four goals in his opening seven appearances, Jackson said his striker started the season with "a point to prove". "He was there week in, week out and I didn't feel the team functioned as well without him. So probably partly down to me playing him so much that he had a little bit of a drop off," Jackson told BBC Radio London.
