Josh Todd says that St Mirren fans need to “keep doing what they’re doing” in order to help the team avoid the drop with just two games left to play.
Todd, who joined the club in January, admitted that he has been pleasantly surprised by the fans and thinks they’ve had a part to play in St Mirren’s recent run of form.
Speaking to stmirren.com, the 22 year-old said: “The fans have been massive.
They’re a great set of fans, they’re lively, and they are behind the team 100%.
"They just need to keep doing what they’re doing. They’re doing a great job.
“If you get a good attack going they’re on your side. Without thinking about it, it gives you the belief that you can score a goal, that you can win a game. They’ve been fantastic.”
The midfielder scored his first goal for the club in Saturday’s defeat away to Dundee United. However, he confessed that he can't really recall what it was like to get off the mark for the Buddies.
I saw the fans going up and down and it kind of sent me on a whirlwind, I can’t remember much of it.
“On a personal level it was great but for the team it means we’ve got to keep fighting over the next few weeks.”
Todd believes that the frustrating loss at Tannadice was just a hiccup and that the team are in good spirits, putting it down to a happy changing room that’s keeping them confident of getting the results they need.
We’ve looked at the form table over the last 10 or so games and we are up there at the top. It’s one hiccup, but as a whole we’re just going to keep pushing forward and keep confident.
“The team is flying round the training room, we are really happy every day. We just need to try and get as many points as we can and stay up.
“In the changing room we have fun but when it gets to a certain time it’s heads down, taking care of the game, like we’ve been doing so far.
“You can tell by the results that it’s a very together changing room. We’re all in this together and we know where we are and what we’ve got to do."
