Callum Davidson hailed his front two after Saturday’s comfortable win against St Mirren.
Nicky Clark netted a lovely goal on his debut to get the ball rolling in the 3-0 win, but Stevie May also earned praise for his “incredible” energy.
“Nicky signed on Wednesday and gets the goal to give us the vital lead in the game,” said Perth boss Davidson.
“That was so important, we then defended really well as a group and got the goals to kill it off.
“It is great for Nicky’s confidence. That is why we went after Nicky. We know what he can do.
“Hopefully he will enjoy his football and score goals. Then we’re all onto a win.”
Davidson added: “I thought Stevie May’s energy up front was incredible.
“He epitomised how we played and worked, leading the line really well.
“Stevie got the first assist and it was nice to see the strikers work as a pair.
“Then we had a good impact from the subs, which helped us towards the end.”
There were plenty of candidates to pick out for praise but the clean sheet was a source of pride.
Goalkeeper Remi Matthews and those in front of him produced a solid display.
“I thought it was a really tough game and that first goal was going to be crucial,” Davidson said.
“St Mirren are hard to play against and very well organised.
“If you look at how we’ve defended, we’ve probably deserved more clean sheets.
“There was the wonder free-kick against Aberdeen and a couple of last minute goals too.
“I was really pleased with the clean sheet. St Mirren threw everything at us but we handled it well.”
