St Mirren 'won't be far away' from sixth

BBC Scotland's chief sportswriter Tom English has been answering your questions on St Mirren.

Eddie asked: Tom, where will the Buddies finish this season?

Tom answered: I like manager Stephen Robinson a lot. My numbers tell me they're seven points down on where they were this time last season. They have scored fewer goals and have conceded a few more.

I still don't think they're going to be far away from sixth. They're one of maybe four clubs that are going to be nip and tuck for fifth and sixth place.

I'm certain it'll come down to a fine margin. And it could be refereeing decisions, it could be injuries. Are they lucky or unlucky? It could be in January that you just find somebody. One person that makes a difference, whether it's a goalscorer, whether it's a defender. There are desperately fine margins between a number of these clubs.

But what they all have in common for me is they've got good managers who know their way around this league. And that's what makes it pretty compelling.
