St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has expressed his high satisfaction with the calibre of players currently available within his reserve ranks, highlighting the depth of talent at the club.
The Paisley side recently moved two points clear of Celtic at the top of the William Hill Premiership after a commanding 3-0 victory over Falkirk, a result secured in part by Alexandros Kyziridis’ wonder strike.
Despite the positive momentum and the quality he sees in reserve, Robinson admitted that the quantity of players is currently a more pressing concern for his squad management.
This worry over numbers has been exacerbated by an injury concern to midfielder Keanu Baccus, a key figure in the St Mirren line-up.
As Robinson nurses this injury worry, the focus shifts to ensuring the squad can cope with the demands of the league schedule without stretching their resources too thin.
The manager's comments come after his side's continued strong start to the season, demonstrating their credentials as title challengers.
The ability of the team to move ahead of Celtic in the Premiership standings underscores the effectiveness of Robinson's current setup.
While the quality is evident, the fear is that a lack of sufficient cover could become problematic should further injuries occur.
Robinson’s ability to manage the squad and integrate reserve quality when needed will be crucial in maintaining their position at the top of the table, especially as the season progresses and demands on the team increase.
The win over Falkirk, powered by Kyziridis' impressive goal, has provided a significant boost, but the manager remains pragmatic about the underlying challenges of squad depth.
