Carlisle United hot-shot Kristian Dennis has been giving fans an insight into his free-scoring exploits this season.
In an interview for the club website Dennis has talked about his rise to the top of the League Two goals charts with 17 successful strikes.
He says: “My goal total at the moment isn’t too bad is it? I would have taken that for January at the start of the season. I’ve just got to keep getting in the right positions, scoring goals and helping the team. As long as we win, then if I score it’s a bonus.
“You’d probably call all of them strikers goals. I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time, I just have a feeling for it and I seem to end up in the right position. Sometimes it falls for you and sometimes it doesn’t.
“I’ve never had a consistent season like this in the league, I have when I was playing non-league. I’ve just got to keep getting in the right places which will hopefully mean I get more goals and help us stay up the top end of the table.
“I always go out thinking I’m going to score, even when I wasn’t scoring last season. I think you’ve got to go into every game believing you will score, because if the ball falls for you and you don’t believe in yourself then you’ll probably miss. I back myself nine times out of 10 and hopefully I can continue that this weekend.
“I don’t know what my target is for the season. I just want to keep scoring but I really want something to play for towards the end of the season.”
Looking ahead to Saturday’s test at Wimbledon, he said: “It will be a tough game. The home game against them was tough but we managed to win 2-1. They posed a threat that day and nothing will change this weekend. We’ve just got to go there and be professional which will hopefully mean we get three points.
“The run has come to an end so now we just want to start another one. We’ve got three games next week with two of them at home after the Wimbledon game, so we’ll be looking to pick up points to keep us up the right end of the table.”
