Jack Ross gives his thoughts on today's 1-0 loss to Dumbarton that saw Saints lose their first home league match since January.

Ten-man St Mirren lost at home for the first time since January as Tom Walsh netted late on to give Dumbarton a 1-0 win.

The Buddies were reduced to 10 men minutes before the interval when Stelios Demetriou was given his marching order for a stray elbow on Sam Wardrop. 

Ex-Saints loanee Tom Walsh scored the winner for the visitors with around 10 minutes to go to give them all three points. In truth, Dumbarton deserved the win on a day where the Buddies were flat.

It was Sons who started brightly with Walsh going close to giving them the lead inside the first minute, but Craig Samson did well to push behind for a corner. Walsh did well on 12 minutes when he broke free only to curl his shot straight into the arms of Samson.

Saints gradually started to grow into the game without causing Dumbarton too many problems. Stelios almost connected with a Kyle Magennis cross before the latter drilled just wide of Scott Gallacher's post from outside the area. From the Magennis effort, Sons broke up the park with Liam Smith having to make a vital intervention to deny Alistair Roy a free header at the back post.

Liam Smith almost nodded Saints ahead two minutes before the interval when his looping header went just over the bar. 

The Buddies were reduced to ten men just before half-time when Stelios was shown a red card after elbowing Dumbarton defender Sam Wardrop. There were no complaints from the Cypriot as he marched off down the tunnel.

Half Time: St Mirren 0-0 Dumbarton

The visitors started the second half on top with a tame Walsh shot gathered easily by Samson before Roy headed just wide from Calum Gallagher's cross. 

Stuart Carswell had a shot pushed away by the Saints keeper moments later and then, on the hour mark, Chris McLaughlin's decent run saw the full back shoot tamely into the arms of Samson. 

Samson had to deny Walsh a few moments later which resulted in Sons being awarded a corner kick. McLaughlin rose the highest, but nodded just wide. 

Alistair Roy should have put the visitors ahead on 73 minutes when he was played in by Walsh. The forward was one-on-one with Samson but somehow conspired to roll the ball past the post when it looked easier to score.  

That miss seemed to jolt St Mirren into life with an increased sense of urgency seeing Liam Smith's driven ball into the box causing panic in the Dumbarton defence though they eventually scrambled clear. 

With just 10 minutes remaining, Dumbarton grabbed the lead when Walsh's fine solo run saw him create space in the area before squeezing the ball into net at the right hand post. 

Saints sent on Ross Stewart to play alongside fellow sub John Sutton but neither could help the Buddies muster up an opportunity to steal a point late on.

The St Mirren FC 2018 Calendar signing will take place at the Paisley 2021 Stadium on Thursday 7 December 2017. 

Jack Ross and his players will be at the stadium from 5:30-7pm on the 7th to sign calendars and meet supporters. 

Calendars can be purchased on the night or from the club shop prior to the signing.

The club shop will be open from 10am right through until 7pm on Thursday the 7th and will provide Saints fans with the ideal chance to get some Christmas shopping done early. 

Dumbarton are the visitors to the Paisley 2021 Stadium this weekend as St Mirren look to make it three league wins on the spin for the third time this season. 

Saints returned to the top of the Ladbrokes Championship on Tuesday night with a fine 3-1 win over third placed Livingston at the Paisley 2021 Stadium. The Buddies fell behind in the first half when Dale Carrick followed up an effort from Josh Mullin to fire Livingston ahead. But second half goals from Lewis Morgan and Ian McShane were sandwiched in between a Neil Alexander own goal as Saints made it six wins from seven home league matches this season. 

Meanwhile, tomorrow's visitors Dumbarton come into tomorrow's match on the back of a 2-2 draw with Queen of the South on Tuesday. The Sons twice took the lead against the Doonhamers at the Cheaper Insurance Direct Arena. An own goal from Queens' Callum Fordyce put Stevie Aitken's side ahead on 11 minutes. They held that lead until Stephen Dobbie struck from the penalty spot with 20 minutes remaining. Greg Morrison headed Dumbarton back into the lead on 81 minutes, only for Queens to peg them back again a few minutes later when ex-Saint Stuart Carswell turned the ball into his own net. That draw ensured they saw out the month of November unbeaten with three wins and two draws in all competitions including a 2-2 draw away to promotion chasing Dunfermline last weekend. 

Dumbarton picked up a point on their last visit to the Paisley 2021 Stadium back in April. Kyle Magennis fired St Mirren into an early lead, but the Buddies were pegged back by loanee Lewis Vaughan. Saints had a glorious chance to re-take the lead before half-time when they were awarded a penalty. Up stepped Rory Loy who couldn't beat Alan Martin from 12 yards and the game finished 1-1. 

Indeed, The Sons have proven to be difficult opponents for St Mirren since the Buddies relegation to the Championship in 2015. In the nine meetings between the two teams in that time Saints have only won two of them. The first was at the Paisley 2021 Stadium back in February 2016 when a second half Lawrence Shankland goal was enough to give the Buddies a 1-0 win. The other win came just last month as Jack Ross' men secured a first win away to Dumbarton since 1996 with goals from Gavin Reilly and John Sutton securing three points. In the same period, Dumbarton have come away from Paisley with three points on two occasions. Goals from Willie Gibson and Garry Fleming saw the Sons win 2-1 in August 2015, while Fleming was on the scoresheet again in November 2016 as he netted the game's only goal in a 1-0 win. 

Saints will be looking to add to their three wins in a row in all competitions and maintain their position at the top of the table. Dumbarton, six points clear of Falkirk who occupy the relegation play-off spot, will be aiming to keep themselves away from the danger zone. Games between the sides have proven to be tight in recent times and that could be the case again tomorrow.
