Joe Shaughnessy admits Saturday’s defeat to Hibernian was a sickener, but says Saints have to pick themselves up for a big game this weekend.
The Buddies travel to McDiarmid Park on Saturday to face St Johnstone with the Perth outift sitting five points behind Stephen Robinson’s side in the cinch Premiership.
Shaughnessy is aware of the importance of Saturday’s match and insists there's enough know-how in the squad to deal with games like this.
It was sickening to lose it like that,” he told stmirren.com after the match.
"We defended pretty well for the whole game and limited them to not many chances.
"It’s annoying because they didn’t have much else in the second half in the whole game, really.
"Scott Tanser’s shot at the end just comes off the bar, if it’s three or four inches lower, it’s probably going to go bouncing in and just little things like that not falling for us at the minute, but it’s important just to keep going with a big game this weekend.
"The good thing is there’s plenty of experience in the squad," he continued.
"A lot of us have been in situations like this before, so it’s just a case of trying not to not to get too down and stick together and just make sure we work hard for the weekend."
