JOHNNIE Jackson wants more Wimbledon signings before the start of the season. 

Jackson has been reminded of his squad’s shortcomings after successive defeats against National League opposition, 2-1 against Maidenhead and 2-0 loss against Barnet. 

Wimbledon host Colchester on Saturday. 

“We know what we want, we know who we want, so it’s just about trying to get that wrapped up,” Jackson said. “Hopefully we can get some things done this week, if not then before the window shuts. 

“There are a couple of positions where we need reinforcements. Whether that will happen before next Saturday – I don’t know, but we’ve got some targets that we’re pursuing.” 

Jackson added: “Our quality was off when we had opportunities to get people in on goal. The execution of the pass, or the cross wasn’t up to scratch. We had two gilt-edge chances where we should have put the ball in the net and we didn’t do that. We’ll go away and work on that, as we strive to improve. 

“It was an unnecessary foul to give away in the danger area that led to their second, then we needed to defend our box better. It’s been a characteristic of ours that we’ve been decent in those sorts of situations and not conceded many goals, so that’s not something we want creeping in.
