Walsh: We can be a force with fans help

Walsh: We can be a force with fans help

Tom Walsh heaped praise on St Mirren supporters following Saturday's 1-1 draw against Falkirk at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.

Speaking to stmirren.com, the midfielder admitted it was the best atmosphere he's experienced whilst on loan at the Saints and hopes that it will continue as the team look to get the first league win of the season on the board.

He said: "That's the loudest I've heard the crowd and it's a real atmosphere when they get going. It's our job to get them that way but if we can get an atmosphere like that at the end of the game then we can be a real force.

"Like I said, the noise at the end was the loudest I've heard it and it's great to play in that. If the supporters can keep that going that would be great and obviously it's our job to make them enjoy it."

Walsh admitted he was happy to be on the scoresheet and for the team to gain a point against a difficult Falkirk side. The midfielder's 87th minute strike was his fourth goal for the Saints and he said he is pleased to be scoring goals, though ultimately realises that the most important thing is that the team is getting results.

"I'm delighted," He said. "It's always nice to get on the scoresheet. It would've been great to get the win but we'll take the draw. They're a good team, so we'll take the draw and hopefully the wins will come. 

"I was at Dumbarton last season and I only scored one, so to have four at this stage is massive for me. It's something I knew I had to improve on and I need to keep doing that but to have four just now is good. It's more important that the team get results, the old cliché, but it is. Hopefully we can get wins and get up the league and hopefully I can keep chipping in as well."

The loanee is confident that the hard work the players are putting in will pay off and it won't be long until that first league win comes. He said: "Every game you've got to look to improve and I'll keep looking to score more and assisting and playing well in general play. Everyone wants to improve in every game and I'm sure results will come from that.

"Allan [McManus] has taken over and basically said to us to go and play with no fear. We were unfortunate at Dunfermline, but knew if we kept working hard this week that we'd get a result and we did. We would have liked to get three points but I'm sure that will come."

Walsh said he is looking forward to seeing who the new manager will be with the club hopeful of appointing someone this week. The midfielder said: "Obviously a new manager will come in and it'll be interesting to see the new ideas and hopefully the wins can come. There's always a lift when a manager comes in so it'll be interesting to see who it is and their methods."
