Foran hopes for points in Perth

24 April 2011 20:01
Inverness forward Richie Foran admits he does not enjoy playing against St Johnstone but hopes the goalscoring prowess of his team can make their trip to Perth worthwhile. Caley Thistle have had mixed fortunes against St Johnstone this season with one win, one draw and a January defeat that ended their 13-month unbeaten away run in the league. Saints have struggled for goals this season, netting just 18 times in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, even fewer than bottom club Hamilton. Inverness have scored 41 goals but sit only four points above their Easter Monday opponents, whose ability to grind out results does not make them an attractive prospect for Foran. "We`re in for a really tough game," the former Motherwell player said. "Every game we have played this season, there hasn`t been a lot of goals. They haven`t been nice games to be honest, I haven`t really enjoyed them. It`s all about going there and winning ugly. "They`re not nice games to play, they are just a battle. They`re a battling team, they are big, honest lads. We have to go there with the right attitude. If we battle with them, I think our quality can come through on the night."
