ACCRINGTON Stanley would finish the season with 101 points if they were to win their remaining six games.

But for defender Jimmy Dunne and co promotion is the priority, and anything that comes after that is a bonus.

The on-loan Burnley youngster has had a talismanic effect on the Reds since making his debut as a second half substitute for the injured Janoi Donacien in the 4-0 win over Chesterfield on January 6.

Table topping Stanley have not lost in the 14 games Dunne has been involved in, with the 20-year-old racking up nine clean sheets to propel the Reds to the top of League Two.

He is aiming to hit double figures for shut-outs against Exeter City this weekend, and add a promotion to his fledgling CV if they can beat the Grecians.

Should Stanley be successful Dunne says they will reassess their targets after that.

“We haven’t looked that far,” said the young Irishman of the prospect of hitting 101 points. “That’s another target, so that would be nice.

“If we win on Saturday then we’ll be happy and we’ll celebrate, and then we’ll look at the games we have and then think we’ll try to win the league.

“But just get up first, then look at winning the league, and then look at 100 points, if that’s still possible.”

With the Reds just one win away from automatic promotion going into tomorrow’s home game with Exeter City, Dunne admits his loan spell at the Wham Stadium has gone better than he could have imagined.

“I suppose if someone had said ‘How well do you want it to go?’ I probably wouldn’t have even shot this high,” he smiled.

“It’s so far so good. It’s probably gone as well as it could go.

“But there are six games left and there’s a lot of work that needs to be done and if I want to go home for the summer really pleased with myself then I need to keep up that clean sheet tally and we need to keep winning games.”

Dunne, who joined Burnley in 2016 from Manchester United’s Academy and had a spell with Barrow in the National League at the start of this season, added: “I came here for the experience of getting games and trying to develop my defending and never really took into consideration that we might even be where we are at this moment in time.

“I really just feel part of the club.

“We know what we need to accomplish now. It’s not going to be easy but I think the lads have their heads screwed on and we know what we need to do.”
