St Johnstone's Josh Fowler Highlights Team's Resilience After Late Equalizer Against Dundee

St Johnstone's striker Josh Fowler expressed optimism following his team's hard-fought 1-1 draw against Dundee at Dens Park, emphasizing the character and quality displayed by his teammates. Fowler, who came off the bench, made a significant impact by scoring a dramatic equalizer in the 90th minute, just moments after Dundee had taken the lead.

Reflecting on the match, Fowler described the late concession of a goal as an "absolute sucker punch," acknowledging the difficulty of regrouping after such a setback. He noted, "It is really hard to say 'can you go again and now can we try and get an equaliser instead of trying to get a winner?' But it just shows the character we have got in the team so we backed ourselves and we knew we could still get something from the game." This resilience was crucial in securing a point away from home.

The draw marks a positive start for St Johnstone in their return to the Scottish Premiership, as they now have four points from their first four matches. Fowler highlighted that the team is beginning to showcase their potential, stating, "I think everyone in our club knows the quality we have got and what we can do when we are at it and now we are hopefully starting to show people that."

With four points accumulated, Fowler believes the team is on the right track. "Four points, it's not the worst start, it is a very decent start, and we have got a lot of momentum to build on and there are a lot of positives to take," he remarked. The team has been competitive in every match, which bodes well for their upcoming fixtures.

Looking ahead, St Johnstone is set to face Hibernian at home on Sunday, a match that Fowler and his teammates are eager to prepare for. He emphasized the importance of maintaining their competitive edge, saying, "Every game we have been really competitive and it has been really close so we dust ourselves down and we get ready for Sunday." As the season progresses, the team's ability to build on their current momentum will be crucial in their quest for success in the league.
