Davis Keillor-Dunn: Mansfield Town top scorer on goal expectations

Alongside his goals, Davis Keillor-Dunn has contributed eight assists this season

Prolific Mansfield Town midfielder Davis Keillor-Dunn says his scoring form has exceeded all expectations this season - apart from his mother's.

The 26-year-old has scored 19 goals so far, surpassing his previous season-best tally with seven games to spare.

His scoring form has been instrumental in firing the Stags top of League Two.

"My mum at the start of the season was saying 'I want you to get 30 goals' so look, there is no pressure there," Keillor-Dunn laughed.

"I really just try get to double figures with goals and assists, chipping in with my own little collection."

The former Burton and Oldham player, who faces his former club - and Mansfield's automatic promotion rivals - Wrexham on Friday, says he has constantly reset his ambitions this season.

"I keep thinking 'oh it would be nice to get this many', and then I get to that mark and think 'I'm not happy with that'," Keillor-Dunn told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"The key is not getting comfortable with what you are getting and always wanting more."

It took a rare goal from defender Lewis Brunt to rescue a point for Mansfield in their 1-1 draw with lowly Colchester at the weekend.

And it is those contributions, along with the return to form of 10-goal striker Will Swan and marksman Lucas Akins, with 14 goals, that Keillor-Dunn says is critically important in Mansfield's quest for promotion.

"That is the biggest thing, everyone has to chip in and we are really good at that," he said.

"The main thing is having boys coming from all over the pitch popping up with a goal."
