Gayfield of Dreams

After a tough first half in wild conditions at Arbroath, St Johnstone turned in a strong performance after the break to win 4-2. The result saw Saints stretch their lead at the top of the Championship to five points, thanks to Partick Thistle dropping points to Ayr United. Josh Fowler's arrival as a half-time substitute at Gayfield helped turn the tide in the Perth side's favour, amid howling wind and driving rain. But what impact will the second half performance influence boss Simo Valakari's thinking ahead of Saturday's clash with Airdrie? Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss the win in Arbroath, Josh Fowler and Sam Stanton's roles in the team and how Saints should counter the Diamonds.
