""Are they starting to believe the hype and the publicity after the cup win, thinking they're possibly a little bit better than they are and they don't need to work as hard? Perhaps," Robinson told BBC Scotland. "How you train is how you play and some people haven't trained properly. Some people have moped about a little bit because they weren't in the team, have come in and played like that.""
"Almost a month to the day since a 'once in a lifetime' League Cup final victory over holders Celtic, St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has accused his players of making him 'look stupid' as they toil at the wrong end of the Scottish Premiership. Yes, the Northern Irishman's side were facing leaders Hearts at a packed Tynecastle on Wednesday. But it was the manner of their 2-0 defeat that led the 51-year-old to blow his top."
St Mirren have suffered a sharp downturn in form after their League Cup triumph, moving toward the lower reaches of the Scottish Premiership. A 2-0 defeat at Hearts, despite the hosts playing 75 minutes with ten men following Beni Baningime's red card, extended a losing run to four matches. The club sit third bottom, only four clear of the play-off spot with a game in hand. Injuries have been significant, but concerns have focused on attitude and training standards. Certain individuals have been praised for effort, while others are expected to improve and take greater responsibility.
