Another win and another clean sheet for in-form Mcdiarmid keeper Clark

“If I keep having clean sheets can you ignore it? I don’t know, can you?

“If it doesn’t happen I won’t dwell on it and let it affect my performances at the club. Doing well for this club is my first priority.”

Saints fans have seen any number of players enjoy Scotland recognition only after they have moved on from Mcdiarmid Park.

Wright’s dismay has struck a chord with the support but Clark skirted round the issue.

“It’s pleasing to get a club record but it’s not entirely down to me. Each and every one of us can be proud,” he said.

“There have been some helluva good keepers at this club. But everybody has been excellent. After the Celtic game we wanted to get back to being hard to beat.

“We knew with that mindset we had attacking players in the final third that could nick us points here and there.

“It is never nice being on the end of a defeat but when it is heavy like that one it’s hard to remain upbeat for a couple of days. I was down in the dumps after the Celtic game for a couple of days.

“It’s one you tend not to look back on. But now we can probably say it has been the catalyst for the last five games.

“But you want to put it right. It’s in the past now.”

Summer signings Kennedy, Tony Watt and Drey Wright have provided the attacking impetus Wright had sought.

Their movement and interplay was a joy to behold for the home support after a poignant wreath-laying ceremony featuring a lone piper, veterans and a minute’s silence in memory of 10 players who gave their lives in the First World War.

Midfielder Davidson bundled home from close range after 20 minutes, when keeper Gary Woods failed to deal with Wright’s driven cross.

The former Colchester winger has been a revelation and another cross veered off luckless defender Ziggy Gordon past a stranded keeper.

Star turn Matty Kennedy made it three 10 minutes after the interval after latching on to a Watt delivery.

He smashed another shot off the bar with Accies on the ropes.

The former Cardiff City player could have had another when sub Chris Kane sought him out after latching on to a woefulbackpassfromdelphintshiembe.

Kennedy couldn’t provide the finish but Wotherspoon was rewarded for a lung-bursting support run with a simple tap-in.
