Jim Goodwin believes his side's luck will turn if they keep performing as they have done in recent matches.
The Buddies are seven without a win in the cinch Premiership and have only scored one goal in their last five matches. But the manager feels his side has created more than enough in the majority of those matches and aren't getting the results their performances merit.
And Jim hopes that luck can turn on Saturday when Saints face Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
Somebody mentioned to me that in the last half a dozen games we've had nearly 110 attempts on goal. Our goal return is nowhere near good enough.
"We find ourselves going through a bit of a barren spell at the moment, which can happen.
"But there are goals in the team and lots of creativity in the team and I’m very confident we’ll turn things around.
"Aberdeen got a good result against Livingston the other night, but they’d lost their previous three games.
"I don’t think Stephen Glass will be getting too carried away and I certainly don’t think the Aberdeen players will be expecting an easy game from us.
"We’ve been playing really well of late. We need to capitalise on that and get the goals and points those performances deserve, I think."
Saturday's match is the starts of a run of tough fixtures for Saints with Hibernian, Celtic and Rangers lying ahead in the coming weeks.
It'll be a big challenge for the Buddies, but the gaffer is relishing the tests ahead and is confident his players will be too.
We’ve got four incredibly difficult games coming up, starting with Aberdeen away.
"I don’t think any other team in and around us has got it as difficult as us in the build up to Christmas, there’s no doubt about it.
"But we’re really excited by it. We’re not afraid of the challenge at all. Sometimes it relieves the pressure a bit, because people will no doubt have us as underdogs.
"We know that those teams - Aberdeen, Hibs, Celtic and Rangers - squad-wise, strength in depth and the budget that they have were the top four teams in the country last year.
"We know how difficult it’s going to be. But we’ve already beaten Aberdeen. We drew with Hibs at Easter Road and should have won that game on the day. We gave Rangers a real good run for their money in Paisley the last time we played, so we’ll not shy away from the challenge.
"It’s what football’s all about as a manager and a player. Those are the types of big games you want to be involved in.
"The players will have no issues whatsoever in terms of raising their game for those four in particular."
