What they're saying

"
St Johnstone fans, we asked for your opinions on the frenetic 4-3 win over Kilmarnock on the opening weekend of the season. Euan: A straightforward win today probably wouldn't actually have served us best in the long run. Plenty to work on in defence but, as Simo Valakari said, these three points are ours now, no-one else's. I'm very much looking forward to our top of the table clash in Paisley on Saturday!
