David Clarkson says that the players are working hard as they look to try and get the first league win of the season.
The striker told stmirren.com that he understands the frustrations of fans following the loss to Dunfermline on Saturday, but admitted their continued support will help as they look to turn things around.
Of course it helps," he said. "The boys are trying their best. We're doing everything we can to try and turn things around and I hope the fans know that. It might not be what they're looking for, but they've been great and hopefully they can keep getting behind us and we can turn things around for them."
Clarkson believes that the team can turn things around and says that improved performances over recent weeks is a positive sign.
Over the last couple of weeks performances have been better. If the performances weren't there you'd be looking at it and asking where it's going to turn. But we give everything in training every week and we're positive we can turn it around and hopefully that can show.
"It's frustrating for everybody and it's frustrating for the players as well. We'll keep working hard and eventually one of these performances will turn for us."
The 31 year-old understands his role as an experienced player during a disappointing run of form and says he'll be there to help some of the younger players get through a difficult period.
Collectively we've all got to work at it," he said. "Experienced players - whether it's helping out the young players or trying to give them bits of advice - we'll be there.
"But like everything we're in it together, we've got to keep going and keep digging in. We are working hard in training and we just need to go and do it in the league now.
"We are digging in, but so far we're not getting the rewards for it, so we've got to keep going and hopefully things will turn and we're positive they will."
