Manager David Holdsworth reflects on Saturday's 2-0 defeat to promotion rivals AFC Wimbledon.

After racing into a 2-0 lead inside the first half hour, the Don's never looked back leaving the Gaffer feeling frustrated by our poor start which set up our seventh loss on the road this season.

He said: "Pride is the thing that is hurting most when you suffer defeat and you have to dust yourself down and move forward.

"You have to look at the positives which were the amount of chances we created and certainly the boys didn't drop their heads.

"I'm very disappointed with the start, of course, which is something we must address. Certainly going away from home to a good side, and you cannot underestimate them, you can't give teams a 2-0 head start.

"But in between that we had the better chances and on reflection, and having assessed it all, we were still in the game and had it not been for a decision or two that went against us, the game could have been different."

One decision he refers to is a penalty appeal turned down when debutant Jon Shaw was felled in the area in the first minute of stoppage time.

He added: "We thought there was a possible appeal for a penalty on Jon Shaw when he hit the post. When there's a coming together in the box, these are decisions that you expect good referees to witness.

"But we will regain your composure and fight another day."
