Teddy Jenks scored the winner on Saturday after making a major impact off the bench. After the game he spoke to RedTV about his goal:
“I haven’t seen it back! I don’t remember too much, I just remember it dropping at my feet and me peeling away to celebrate with the fans.
“You’ve still got to put it in the net. And you’re always told play to the whistle. It bounced at my feet, I hit it and it went in. The ref didn’t blow, and we end up winning the game 1-0, which is the most important thing.
“We’ve had enough go against us this season. I don’t know how many penalties we’ve had this year but not many, maybe one against Celtic?
“We’ve had a few, I wouldn’t say poor decisions. But we’ve had stuff go against us. So it’s nice to get one for us, maybe. It does even itself out. We’re just delighted with the win.”
“The spirit wasn’t bad even when we were losing. But now that we’re picking up wins, it’s really starting to build and we’re all getting much closer.
“That helps when maybe the performance is a bit of a struggle – but we can dig deep to win together. The performances had been good, it was just the results that haven’t been coming our way.
“Now that they are, we just need to keep it going. I think we can do that. That was my second goal and I couldn’t be more happy with it, especially as we got the win – that’s the most important thing.
“Winning against St Johnstone was important because that’s exactly the sort of game we were losing at the start of the season.
“To get a scrappy win – but a win – is really important, because we’ve had good performances for a while. The results just haven’t been there. Three wins on the bounce shows that we’re building momentum.
“It has been a big step up from me. I started off well but it fizzled out a bit for me. In the last few weeks I have been back in the team and I was able to score today. I want to start games but coming off the bench, scoring and affecting the game like that is just as important.
“There is no better way to learn to play first team football, I think this is the perfect place for me.”
