Goodwin: Win gives the team and our supporters a real lift
Jim Goodwin hopes Saints’ win over Motherwell has given everyone connected to the club a much-needed lift.
Buddies fans have been put through the wringer this season, with the team’s form nosediving as coronavirus ripped through the squad in the early stages.
That was before the SPFL but the boot in with a severe punishment of forfeiting two games for breaching protocols to combat the spread of the deadly disease.
Goodwin’s men have rallied on the pitch since their virus troubles subsided, and he feels their run of form is absolutely connected to getting more players fit and available in recent weeks.
He said: “The result lifts us off the bottom of the table which is important. It gives the players and the fans a lift.
“I’ve got great faith in this group, even when we were going through that poor period. I always knew when we got the full group back things would turn.
“And it’s no coincidence that we’re on this run now because we’ve kept everyone fit and healthy.
“When decisions go against you and things are happening to your club I do think it does bring everyone together even more.
“You could say that has galvanised us.
“Plus we have very good players in our squad.”
