Adam accepts blame after pass across box led to goal
“We have got a few good results here and there but we haven’t been able to put a string of results together and that’s what you need in this league.
“To be honest, I don’t think we have been good enough and we deserve the situation we are in.
“We haven’t scored enough goals, we haven’t kept enough clean sheets either.
“That’s down to everyone, not one or two people.
“We have to show pride in the last two games for the fans and for ourselves.
“The next few weeks are huge for the club as a whole.”
Dundee started on the front foot in Paisley, putting their hosts under pressure.
But, following Adam’s calamity, the Dark Blues’ early momentum was gone and it was all St Mirren with only a superb save from Harry Sharp stopping a goal-bound
Curtis Main header from making it 2-0 on 20 minutes. There was much more intent about Dundee after the break but, as has happened all season, it didn’t last.
A series of corners and freekicks brought a superb save from Jak Alnwick to deny Ryan Sweeney before Jordan McGhee hit the post from close range.
St Mirren’s first attack of the second period saw Main gather the ball in the area and smash a fine finish into the top corner.
From that point, there was no coming back for Dundee in the game.
And only perfection will now see any comeback in the league table with Livingston’s late equaliser at St Johnstone delaying the inevitable.
Six points behind with six to play for and seven goals to make up, relegation is all but confirmed.
