Jim Goodwin is adamant St Mirren are right where they want to be after their win over St Johnstone shot them into the top six.
But he insists it’s not job done yet as they still face fierce competition to stay in the top half come the split next month.
The Buddies have been in sensational form since returning from the winter break, winning five of their six matches so far this year including last night's 2-1 victory against St Johnstone.
And while Goodwin admits he’s enjoying the impressive run just as much as the Paisley club’s fans, he won’t get carried away until they seal an historic top six spot for certain after being stung last season.
Goodwin told Express Sport: “We’re where we want to be. We’ve spoken about it over past seasons about putting us in the mix for the top half.
“But it’s not job done yet. There’s a hell of a lot of football to be played.
“We’ve got a game in hand and if we win that it’ll put us into the scary position of fourth, which would be incredible at this stage of the season.
“We can’t dwell on the win though. As it’s so tight and congested we can’t get carried away as you could quickly go back to ninth or tenth.
“We need to remember why we are on the good run and it’s down to hard work.
“Since I’ve been in the door we’ve come from behind numerous times. We very rarely go behind and don’t come back into the game.
“It shows there’s a lot of character not to give in. We had a sticky spell in the middle of the first half but we deservedly got the win.”
