Lewis Morgan reserved special praise for St Mirren supporters after his early second half goal against Raith on Saturday sealed a second win in a row in the Ladbrokes Championship.
The 20 year-old winger scored the only goal of the game less than two minutes after the restart to give the Saints their second three points in the space of a week to close the gap at the bottom of the table.
While the visitors put a lot of pressure towards the end of the match, the Buddies held strong and Morgan said that the supporters played their part in pushing the team on.
They were brilliant," he explained. "They knew we had put so much effort into the game and we were all just together and they acted like a 12th man. They really drove us on and got us over the line.
"It's no more than what the boys deserve from the work we've put in, going back to after the Morton game, and ever since then I think we've just been building.
"We always had confidence from the way we've been playing in all those games and maybe felt like we weren't getting the rub of the green with the results. But now that we are adding them the boys are getting a massive lift from it.
"We've always had the belief that we'll get ourselves out of this position and with the fans behind us we feel as if we can really kick on."
Morgan has become a first team regular this season and is glad that he's been giving the chance to go out and impress and hopes his performances are justifying his place in the side.
I started off the season very well from an individual point of view and maybe fell away a wee bit after I picked up an injury against Hibs. But I feel like I'm getting back to my best now and adding goals to my game.
"It's good to see that the coaching staff have had faith in me and hopefully my performances are paying them back."
