Jackson wants to bolster Dons in the final third but can’t guarantee additions before Lincoln

Mark Jackson says he wants attackers bringing in during the transfer window, but cannot guarantee anyone will be added to hisMK Donssquad before Saturday’s game againstLincoln City.

With the side toiling in 23rd place inLeague One, the January transfer window offers a chance to put right some of the wrongs which have hampered the side. A little over two weeks into his tenure ashead coach, Jackson said he has already earmarked areas and suggested players who he feels would fit the bill for how a Dons side in his image would look.

But with the likes ofMo EisaandWill Grigg本赛季缺乏机会,杰克逊说upply chain has to be better, and feels it is an area they have to strengthen.

“We know we need to be better in the final third - that's apparent,” he told the Citizen. “The team lost a lot of goals, players and attacking impetus in the summer. That's where we've fallen down a bit.

“We've got ideas, Liam and the recruitment team have ideas too of where we need to improve. Me coming in has created a lot more clarity in terms of positions and the profile of player we need, in terms of a physical, technical and tactical point of view.”

With preparation now underway ahead of the visit of Lincoln City to Stadium MK on Saturday, Jackson admitted he could not guarantee anyone would be in before the game, but said he was confident in the squad he has to take on the challenge of the Imps.

He added: “If we go into Lincoln without anyone new onboard, I'm alright with that because they've shown enough to me over the last few days about the upturn in performance level in training.”
