St Mirren defender Kirk Broadfoot believes his team-mates should follow the attitude of Kris Boyd if they're to start scoring goals.
Despite only conceding eight times in their opening eight games, Jim Goodwin's side have scored just three times and sit second bottom of the Premiership.
Broadfoot played alongside Boyd with Kilmarnock , Rangers and Scotland and he's urged St Mirren 's strikers to look to him for an example.
He said: I played with probably the best natural striker that I have seen, Kris Boyd . He did not let any missed chance bother him whatsoever.
"He just believed that no matter if he missed 10 chances, he would score.
"I don't know the guys well enough here. I am only with them five weeks, maybe they are lacking confidence, maybe they are not getting the right chances, it us up to us to create better chances with us, who knows?
"To be honest I don't want to really speak to them about it because everyone seems to be bringing it up.
"I don't want to go in there and say, 'it will come' because everyone is at it.
"They could turn round and say, 'you just do your job and keep a clean sheet' but at the end of the day, if they ever want to watch anyone, they should watch Kris Boyd, he just stays in that six-yard area and he gets his chances.
"If we keep doing the right things and getting in the right areas it will come eventually. If we keep a clean sheet we are giving the boys up top a chance.
"If we let in two or three goals the game is dead and buried so the confidence of everyone will get down.
"But it is not just the strikers, there is the midfielders and ourselves (defenders) at set plays.
"It is probably a difficult time for the strikers now and everyone is touching on it but I am sure that they are mentally strong enough that they will go out there and if they get a chance , hopefully they will take it.
"I think over the season they will get their fair share."
