St Mirren finished top six for the first time last season and now Olusanya is aiming to go one better.
Toyosi Olusanya is aware that if St. Mirren can prolong Aberdeen’s suffering, they could go a significant step closer to securing a second straight season in the top six.
Following their victory against St Johnstone the previous weekend, the Buddies rallied to salvage a late point at Ross County, bringing their total to four points out of six. Olusanya believes that fifth-placed St. Mirren would be well-positioned for the top six and a push into Europe if they could defeat the pursuing Dons at home.
“We are looking to close the gap with the teams below us, but we are also constantly looking up at the table, trying to see if we can push, hold onto our position, and push for Europe,” Olusanya stated. If I’m being honest, we should be more concerned with what is in front of us than what is behind us. Bravo to the squad and the manager.We’ve demonstrated that we are a top six team, and we’ll keep working hard. Our goals for Europe demonstrate the calibre of this team.
In the end, each week will consist of three games. We’ve managed to take seven out of nine points before, and perhaps we can repeat that feat. Ideally, we can defeat Aberdeen at home. After that, we have a full week off to rest and prepare for next week’s match.
The 26-year-old scored a Dingwall goal for St Mirren after coming off the bench. Olusanya acknowledged, “I’m giddy.”We went up there and ultimately won the game, which was the most important thing. “I believe we deserved more than a point, but in the end, we won and that was the most important thing,” the player said.
They check everything now. At least you get to celebrate before they do the VAR. Sometime they flag you off before and you don’t get the chance to celebrate. It didn’t take too much out of the celebration.
I’m glad to contribute to the team and score a goal for myself.Every point matters because we are competing for both Europe and the top six. “At the end of the day, at least we had something.”
Olusanya was brought in by Stephen Robinson, who then set up James Scott, a fellow substitute, for a chance at the winner but Scott missed it. Olusanya said, “He (Robinson) told us to be positive and to go and attack and make it hard for them to defend.” “I believe every substitute that entered the game had an effect on it.”Everything was going well.
Olusanya tactfully said, “I have not seen it back although the officials said it wasn’t a penalty. You can only do what you can. You face adversity in football all the time. Even with that decision, we didn’t let it affect us and we did what we could to get back in the game.” The Paisley team was also disappointed that they didn’t receive a penalty call for Ryan Leak’s handball in the first half. “I saw James and we work a lot in the final third play. “On another day, it would go in and he would have scored the winner. “It was positive players from all of us and it was just unfortunate it didn’t go in, that one.”
“It is difficult for all involved, including the referees and the on-scene officials.”Everyone is making a sincere effort.You must view a decision as a success if it works out for you, and you must move on if it doesn’t. “We have no control over that.”
The former player for Middlesbrough believes he is beginning to establish himself at St Mirren.
The Londoner said, “I feel more assured. Getting acclimated to the team, league, and other things has taken some time.I’m glad the boys are getting along and that we’re developing a relationship both on and off the pitch. “Things are improving.”
