Saints boss looking for improvement

St Johnstone welcome Ross County on Tuesday night.

Published 24th Oct 2017

Boss Tommy Wright believes responsibility should be the buzzword for his St Johnstone players when Ross County visit McDiarmid Park on Tuesday night.

The Perth club's 1-0 defeat by Hearts on Murrayfield was their third successive loss in the Ladbrokes Premiership and it dropped them to sixth place, one point behind the Jambos.

Saints have also failed to find the net in their last three games, a situation which the Northern Irishman is looking to be addressed against the Staggies.

Wright told the club's official YouTube channel: “There are positives to take from Saturday, but the concerning thing for me is that at the top end of the pitch we are getting into good positions, but we are not making the most of them.

“Players have to step up to the mark and be better, and they have go play with a bit more belief and conviction in the last third.

“You talk about responsibility in football, but there is responsibility at both ends of the pitch and at the top end of the pitch we have lacked responsibility.''

Defenders Richard Foster and Steven Anderson return from suspension and Wright expects midfielder Murray Davidson to be available.

He said: “He had a slight hamstring problem but he will be back for Tuesday night.
