St Johnstone showed guts aplenty in securing two draws against Motherwell and Kilmarnock. But some fans are getting impatient with the Perth side's perceived deficiencies. Why are boos starting to be heard when Saints are showing so much strength of character? And what can fans expect when Dundee visit McDiarmid Park on Saturday? Join Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton as they discuss an eventful week for Saints.

In this week's episode, Stuart Cosgrove and Eric Nicolson look into Josh Fowler's transformation from a St Johnstone Championship fringe player to the Premiership's top scorer. Will Rangers be the next team he scores against?

Premiership football is back - and St Johnstone face Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Sunday. The big question for Simo Valakari revolves around his defence. With Zach Mitchell out for the season and Cheick Diabate suspended, how will Saints look at the back? Could Valakari opt for a change of shape in the Granite City, or is Bozo Mikulic ready to slot into a back four next to Dan Finlayson? On this week's Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss the trip to face the Dons and debate the merits - or otherwise - of Frazer Wright's viral Tennent's Sixes challenge against Dundee United.

St Johnstone were without both of the regular centre backs in Aberdeen, switched to a makeshift central defensive trio and left Pittodrie with a win. Simo Valakari branded the performance as a 'masterclass' in control without the ball. How right was he? And with Cheick Diabate set to return against Dundee United, what might the Saints team look like at the weekend?

Has Kai Fotheringham's red card against Rangers opened the door for Logan Chalmers? Chalmers has yet to start a Premiership match for St Johnstone, but with big matches against Motherwell and Kilmarnock within the space of three days, surely the attacker is about to get his chance from the kick-off? On this week's 'Spoony Chop', Chalmers' impending opportunity is up for discussion, along with the weekend's loss at Ibrox and the back-to-back clashes with 'Well and Killie.

St Johnstone entered the extended international break off the back of a heartening draw with Falkirk, achieved despite playing most of the second half with 10 men. But it could prove costly. How serious is Zach Mitchell's injury? What will Simo Valakari do upon the return to action if both he and Cheick Diabate (who will be suspended) are missing? And what do we want to see from Saints when the Premiership resumes?

St Johnstone performed admirably in defeat to Celtic. But what did the performance tell us about Simo Valakari's side. And who impressed in particular? On this week's 'Spoony Chop', Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton unpack the loss to the Hoops and look ahead to the weekend's meeting with Falkirk.

St Johnstone gave a good account of themselves in defeat to Hearts, turning in a second half performance that has drawn admiration. But as in previous Premiership matches, a Saints mistake resulted in a goal for the opposition. On this week's 'Spoony Chop', Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss the defeat at Tynecastle, Wednesday's trip to face Dundee and what's still needed before the transfer window shuts.
