AFC Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson said goalkeeper Josef Bursik "answered all the questions" posed of him in the 1-0 win over Doncaster.

Bursik, 26, arrived on loan from Portsmouth on transfer deadline day and has kept clean sheets in his first two matches for the Dons.

"They [Doncaster] are probably wondering how they haven't scored a goal," Jackson told BBC Radio London.

"The reason they haven't scored is because we put our bodies on the line, we made blocks when we needed to, our goalkeeper's made saves and we generally worked unbelievably hard to keep the ball out of the net.

"Joe is a top keeper. I wasn't just going to bring in a goalkeeper for the sake of it.

"But if there was an opportunity to bring someone [in] that I felt could improve us and make us a stronger unit, then I would take it.

"The opportunity to sign Joe came up and we took it. He does most things very well, he's got a good temperament and it's started well for him.

"There are going to be tougher days but [against Doncaster] he was put under a lot of pressure and he answered all the questions."
