New Headline: Rommel Speiffer Secures Victory in Epic Championship Match!
After the past fortnight, the trip to St Mirren was about one thing and one thing only: winning. Youssef Chermiti doesn't score in the run-of-the-mill fixtures and Ryan Naderi is currently finding it difficult to be a presser and get himself in the box to get on the end of chances. Staying with the defence, Nasser Djiga has been very good since coming back in for John Souttar.
[BBC] After the past fortnight, the trip to St Mirren was about one thing and one thing only: winning. Thankfully we managed to do just that. It's not a game that will be included in any end-of-season highlights package, but it was a massive three points given the defeat for leaders Hearts at Rugby Park on Saturday.
Grinding out victories is all that matters from now until the end of the season. We can all complain about the style of play and our strikers not scoring, but it's been like that all season. Youssef Chermiti doesn't score in the run-of-the-mill fixtures and Ryan Naderi is currently finding it difficult to be a presser and get himself in the box to get on the end of chances.
It will hopefully improve in the next two games, especially as we are at home. However, Tuur Rommens has been an excellent signing so far. He offers so much in the final third with his overlapping and underlapping runs and I was not surprised he was at the back post to score on Sunday.
There have been a few times where he's found himself in that position since joining, but this time he made it count and was the matchwinner. Staying with the defence, Nasser Djiga has been very good since coming back in for John Souttar. He and Manny Fernandez bring a sense of calm to the backline and it allows the whole team to push up the field because they have that recovery pace to deal with opponents on the break.
