Bassey: Maybe you do make your luck

Then again perhaps your own luck isn't made? Simon Bassey isn't sure on that score.

One thing that the AFC Wimbledon caretaker boss is sure about is that his side deserved credit for keeping going until the last in the dramatic win at Plymouth on Saturday: 'maybe you do make your luck or maybe you don't but the boys kept going until the last minute and that is all credit to them.

'I thought we played some really good stuff in the first half. After the initial 10 minutes we really got on the front foot and played some cracking stuff.'

Allowing Plymouth to equalise in the last minute, also allowing them to follow up a saved penalty to do so, frustrated Bassey although he did credit the hosts for doing so.

Winning it is such a fashion, in front of the travelling fans was "just fantastic" for him: 'I thought we should have been further ahead than we were. We didn't really start the second half well and credit to Plymouth they came at us on the front foot.

'We got a little bit nervous, isolated our forward at times, never took that extra pass when we should have done. I thought the penalty was soft if I am honest but Seb saved it and then were just a little bit on our heels for the rebound so to get the goal was just fantastic, especially in front of our fans.'
