Jack Ross gives his reaction to this afternoon's 2-1 win away to Brechin City in the Ladbrokes Championship. 

The Buddies gaffer gives his thoughts on the performance, the importance of the three points, Gavin Reilly & Cammy Smith and the supporters. 

A year ago tomorrow an early second half strike from Lewis Morgan secured St Mirren a first home league win of the season as the Buddies saw off Raith Rovers 1-0 at the Paisley 2021 Stadium. On April 29th 2017, Saints again defeated Rovers at home - this time by a more emphatic 5-0 scoreline - to gain their ninth and final league win of the 2016/17 campaign. 

Today, 364 days after Saints won their first home league match of last season, the Buddies surpassed last season's total of nine wins as goals from Gavin Reilly and Cammy Smith gave Jack Ross' side a hard-fought 2-1 win over Brechin City at Glebe Park to secure a 10th league win of the season. 

It's a testament to the job the gaffer, his backroom staff and the players have done since the beginning of 2017 as Saints keep the pressure on Dundee United at the top of the Ladbrokes Championship.  

A lifeless opening 15 minutes was quickly stirred into action when Jack Baird appeared to be fouled in the Brechin box after Ian McShane floated in a free kick. The defender, trying to attack the ball, appeared to be hauled to the deck by a City defender. Referee Colin Steven was unmoved much to the chagrin of Baird who punched the deck in frustration. 

The Buddies didn't let that phase them and took the lead a little over five minutes later when Gavin Reilly notched his 17th goal of the season. The Brechin defence failed to deal with a through ball from Stephen McGinn. Reilly gambled and with the ball finding its way to his feet, he found himself one-on-one with Brechin goalkeeper Graeme Smith. The 24 year-old showed great composure to curl the ball home to draw first blood for the visitors. 

But Saints couldn't build on that lead with the hosts getting back on level terms on 27 minutes. A long ball forward saw Isaac Layne out-muscle Baird and race through on goal. Craig Samson had raced off his line, but that allowed Layne the space to slot the ball into the net to make it 1-1. 

Buoyed by the goal, Brechin finished the half strongly with ex-Saints striker Kalvin Orsi going close with a chip before Samson made terrific saves to deny Layne and Sean Crighton putting City ahead. 

Half Time: Brechin City 1-1 St Mirren

Orsi almost got Brechin ahead quickly into the second half when he screwed a shot mere inches by the post on 47 mins. 

Five minutes later it was Saints' turn to almost go in front. A tremendous through ball from Adam Eckersley found Lewis Morgan with the young winger racing clear down the left hand side and making his way into the box. His effort had Graeme Smith beaten only for Gary Fusco to be on the line to whack the ball clear. 

St Mirren were awarded a penalty just after the hour mark when Cammy Smith, making his return to the team after missing last week due to injury, was brought down by Graeme Smith. The Brechin players protested the decision, but Colin Steven was adamant the forward had been fouled. With The Buddies' regular penalty taker, Ian McShane, having been substituted it fell to Cammy Smith to take and he made no mistake as he coolly slotted the ball into the net sending Graeme Smith the wrong way. 

The home sides had a few chances in the remaining part of the match to grab themselves a point. Euan Spark found himself all alone inside the Saints box but hit his shot straight at Samson. Then, in the dying embers of the match, Brechin substitute Andy Jackson cracked the post when he looked odds on to score. 

With the referee's final whistle came another big three points for St Mirren in the Ladbrokes Championship to keep them just one point behind leaders Dundee United at the top.

St Mirren are on the road tomorrow as Saints travel to Angus to face Brechin City in the Ladbrokes Championship. 

The Buddies will be looking to get back to winning ways after a three match winning run was halted last week following defeat to Dumbarton at the Paisley 2021 Stadium. A late strike from ex-Saint Tom Walsh gave Dumbarton all three points last Saturday against 10-men St Mirren after the red card shown to Stelios Demetriou. 

Saints had been in good form having picked up six points from six in two tricky matches away to Inverness and at home to Livingston. A 3-1 win over Livingston at the Paisley 2021 Stadium saw the Buddies return to the top of the Championship only for Dundee United to leapfrog Saints following the loss to Dumbarton. 

Brechin have yet to win in the Championship this season following their promotion via the play-offs last season. Darren Dods' side have picked up three draws from their opening 15 league fixtures this season - drawing 2-2 with Livingston and 1-1 with Falkirk and Dundee United, all at Glebe Park. City have lost their two league matches with losses away to Morton (4-1) and Inverness (4-0). 

They came close to gaining a point when they visited the Paisley 2021 Stadium back in September. Cammy Smith gave Saints an early lead only for ex-St Mirren U20s striker Kalvin Orsi to level before half time. With just over 10 minutes remaining substitute Dale Hilson scored his first goal for The Buddies to give the side a narrow 2-1 win. 

That win represented St Mirren's seventh win in a row against Brechin. Manager Jack Ross and captain Stephen McGinn both featured for The Buddies the last time the side faced Brechin away with a Jim Hamilton double and a Dennis Wyness goal giving Saints a 3-1 win in the Scottish Cup back in 2009. Indeed, City have managed just one win over St Mirren in the 34 matches that have occurred between the two. That came back in 2004 when goals from Scott McCulloch and Jamie Smith gave the bottom-of-the-table side a shock 2-0 victory at Glebe Park. 

St Mirren will be aiming to put last weekend's loss behind them and hope a win, coupled with results elsewhere, will see them return to the top of the league. A win tomorrow would be a 10th league win of the season for Saints - more than they managed in the entirety of last season. Brechin, meanwhile, will be desperate to get the monkey off their back and secure their first league win of the season. 

St Mirren's away trip to Aberdeen in the William Hill Scottish Cup on Saturday 20th January 2018 has been rescheduled after being selected for live coverage on the BBC.
