Stephen Robinson has been speaking to the media before St Mirren visit Aberdeen in the Premiership on Wednesday.

Here are the key lines from the Buddies manager:

  • With Saints winless in seven league matches - including six defeats, Robinson says "results have to change" and he'll take a "rubbish" performance and three points away to Aberdeen and the same at home to Dundee United on Saturday.

  • He is confident St Mirren can start to turn things around but they have to start scoring from the chances they create and defend better.

  • Robinson insists it's not been all "doom and gloom" as there have been good points in the seven-match winless run.

  • He points out that in the past seven matches they've put in 150 crosses and won 51 corners, with 78 chances.

  • Robinson says the league table shows St Mirren are in a relegation battle but the players haven't lost any confidence. He adds a couple of wins can turn that into a battle for top six, citing the example of Hibs last season.

  • Robinson says it's not unusual for clubs like St Mirren who get to a cup final to also be trying to fight relegation.

  • He would love to bring in a 20-goal striker and 10-goal midfielder but the board have told him he can only make signings in January if players move on. It'll be a case of "one in, one out".

  • That means there are opportunities for young striker Evan Mooney, who turns 19 this month and is just getting back from injury, and 16-year-old Luke Douglas, who scored three in a recent youth cup tie, to stake a claim.
