Sean Rigg believes that the improvement in AFC Wimbledon’s final league position is a positive they can take from this season.

The Dons achieved their best finish in the Football League finishing in 15th place and amassed 58 points, four higher than their previous points record under former manager Terry Brown.

But Rigg insists that he was disappointed at only finishing in 15th place and blames that in part to their inability to convert chances.

He told the official club website: “It was an improvement for the club this season and that’s one of the positives we can take from it.

“But we did underachieve and I think everyone will agree with that. The last couple of months we have lacked that edge in front of goal.

“We have not been clinical enough and that is something we will have to work on.”

However, the 26-year-old winger believes that the Dons can progress in their next campaign and build on what can be described as successful season.

He added: “I think we have a good set of lads here and we can move forward next season, the new players who came in did themselves justice and I think we can improve again.”

"Ryan Sweeney is a young lad, but he has fitted in straight away at the back, he does not look out of place at all.

“Ryan has a good presence, he is good in the air, and calm on the ball.

“Tom Beere is a good midfielder, who can get forward and get his shots off. He is a good battler too. Hopefully, they can both push on next season and get more games."

Hope: Sean Rigg is optimistic for the future

Rigg also added that he had settled in well at Kingsmeadow and was disappointed only to score seven goals this campaign, something he hopes to add to next season.

“I have really enjoyed my football here, the lads and the staff have made me feel very welcome and I am hoping to improve again next season.

“I was hoping to get into double figures for the season, but seven goals is not too bad. I want to be more clinical.

“In the last couple of weeks of the season goalkeepers have made good saves to stop me and it could have been a different story if a few of those had gone in. Hopefully next season I can get into double figures.”
