""We had our way of playing when we started the season and maybe our opponents were not that familiar [with it]," he said. "Now they start to see how we want to play, how they stop that. Again, we need to evolve our things that can counter what the opponent is doing. "The basics and the foundations of how we do things are at a good level. Now, we need little tweaks - when we attack, how we can be more balanced in defence, attacking the box, how we can find this final pass. "The basics are there, the foundations are there, the principles are there.""
""The Perth side, relegated from the Premiership last season, have been the big hitters at the top since the starting gun sounded, but what once looked like being a procession is now anything but.""
The Scottish Championship reaches its halfway point with the top four sides facing each other. St Johnstone, relegated from the Premiership last season, have led the table but now sit level on points with Partick Thistle, ahead only on goal difference. St Johnstone have failed to win their last three matches, lost to Partick three weeks ago and were eliminated from the Scottish Cup by League 1 side Cove Rangers. Tactical adaptation and small tweaks in attack and defensive balance are needed while fundamentals remain intact. St Johnstone travel to fourth-placed Ayr United, who must win to keep title hopes alive after a recent 2-1 victory over Peterhead.
