We shall soon see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Due to a completely healthy squad to pick from, the St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson has zero fitness worries to speak of coming into this match.

We believe The Buddies appear most likely to play in a 5-3-2 system with a starting lineup of Trevor Carson, Marcus Fraser, Joe Shaughnessy, Richard Taylor, Ryan Strain, Thierry Small, Alexandros Gogic, Keanu Baccus, Mark O'Hara, Curtis Main and Greg Kiltie.
