DARREN MOORE hailed Sheffield Wednesday’s perseverance after Lee Gregory’s stoppagetime strike boosted their play-off hopes.

Jack Hunt headed Wednesday into an early lead which was cancelled out by Ayoub Assal for the visitors, who had Mark Bowen in charge for the first time.

Moore said: “We’re really pleased with the three points.

“It was a very difficult game for us. We didn’t play well, our game was

too slow and we needed more energy.

“We knew it would be tough with the low block Wimbledon played.

“I am happy with the way the boys kept going.

“We wouldn’t have got that result six months ago.”

Bowen said: “There were lots and lots of positives.

“We just switched off for one moment and that has cost us.

“This performance makes me confident we can do enough over the next six games to stay in this league.”
