"Every point counts, and I've been focusing on keeping clean sheets , that's my job!" said D. Mitchell after the recent draw against Kilmarnock. The goalkeeper's performance has been a highlight for Ayr Utd this season, as he consistently thwarts opposing attacks with remarkable reflexes.

Last week, during a challenging match at Somerset Park, steady rain made the pitch slippery. Despite the conditions, Mitchell was quick off his line, denying Kilmarnock a clear shot on goal multiple times. After the game, fans praised him for his composure, perhaps the best attribute of a keeper in such situations.

In the previous month alone, he has registered three clean sheets. This form comes as a surprise to some, as his role was initially seen as one of backup. However, D. Mitchell has not only seized his opportunity but has elevated his standing amongst Ayr supporters.

His confidence is evident; with each game, he commands his area and engages with defenders to maintain communication. Should this form continue, it's likely he will be key in Ayr Utd's pursuit of a playoff spot in the Scottish Championship.
