Matchwinner Phillips wants Buddies to show attacking teeth

Killian Phillips says he wants to help St Mirren add a greater attacking threat this season after his double secured victory at Falkirk on the opening weekend of the Premiership. The Irish midfielder struck either side of half-time as the Buddies earned a deserved three points at the Falkirk Stadium. St Mirren's struggles at the wrong end of the table last season were in large part down to a lack of scoring, with their 30 goals in 38 games the poorest return in the league. Now after bagging a brace in the first league game, Phillips wants to boost his and the team's goal tally this term. "It's something I need to add to my game is numbers, so now I'm over the moon to get two," Phillips told BBC Scotland. "It was a good team performance. I know I could have had a couple more and we could have had a couple more. "On a normal day, those [missed] chances could have cost us. Probably last season, we struggled to create a lot of chances, so to have as many chances as we did today is more of a positive than a negative. "It's a perfect opening day performance."
