Double trouble
Junior and Jonathan are going for goals
Buddies frontman Junior Morias feels he and Jonathan Obika can be the striking double act that fires St Mirren up the Premiership table.
The confident 24- year- old, who arrived on a two- year deal from Northampton United in the summer, linked up with fellow summer signing Obika from the start for the first time at Dingwall.
And he is sure their blossoming chemistry will start to produce the goods for the Saints, as long as they’re given time to develop together on the pitch.
“It was good playing with big Jon, we’ve got a chemistry going,” he said.
“When games come and we train we link up together. It’s about trying to implement that and bringing that into games.
“The more we play together, I think it will be a very good partnership.
“He’s a target man, I play off him, we both hold the ball up well and we both score goals.
“It’s destined for good things.” Morias was gutted when Obika’s close range strike was chalked off by the linesman on Saturday, as he also hunts for his first goal in a St Mirren shirt.
He is sure that the Buddies will react in the right way when they take on Hamilton, because they’re putting in the hard yards on the training pitch.
Morias said: “We’ve got to win at home. There’s no two ways about it, there’s no cliches, we’ve just got to start winning games.
“We all know that and, honestly, we are working very hard to turn that around. It’s not that we aren’t working hard and we can’t turn it around.
“In the games that we have played, it’s just little details that we need to fix.
“Once we fix those little details, things will become different.
“We need to win games, and there will be a reaction on Saturday.”
Morias also hopes that his hard work in training will make it harder for manager Jim Goodwin to leave him out of the starting XI in the future.
He added: “I always want to start, score goals and win games. The manager picks the team at the end of the day, as he sees what is happening in training.
“He picks a team he thinks will get a result on a Saturday. Whether I’m starting or coming off the bench, I’ll give it 110 per cent.
“I know goals for me will come as soon as possible.
“But he’s the boss, so he makes that decision.”
