Ibehre's only two goals this season have come in the League Cup

Striker Jabo Ibehre says he is finally starting show his best form in an MK Dons shirt.

After spending most of last season out on loan the 27-year-old has begun to make an impression on the Dons' first-team, featuring 21 times this term.

"I've come back in a much more positive frame of mind. Hopefully I'm improving as I'm playing," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"As I play on the more people will see the real Jabo."

Ibehre arrived at Stadium MK from Walsall in the summer of 2009 after finding the net 10 times in 39 league games during his 12 months with the Saddlers.

His Dons career started slowly and with just one goal in his opening 12 games last term the former Leyton Orient trainee was shipped out to Southend and then Stockport on loan.

606: DEBATE I'd like to see Powell start along side Ibehre. He always shows so much promise when he comes on Stirling-MKDons

But the current campaign has been more promising for the powerful forward, who has been used predominantly from the bench.

And now he is aiming to add to the two goals he scored in August's League Cup win over Dagenham & Redbridge.

"You want to hit the ground running and get your goals as well as the performances," he said.

"As I get fitter and I'm playing more games that will come.

"I couldn't have asked for a better start but it would be nice to go out there and do it more often."
