"With the international break coming up, we are desperate for another win," said Sturrock.
"We want to close the gap on as many teams as possible - we would like to see it become a 10-horse race.
"I think at the end of the day, three points at Middlesbrough was a great benefit to us because it sucked a good three or four teams into the (relegation) tussle.
"There are teams who are still five points away from us, who we would like to bring closer."
The club received a huge boost with last weeks win at Middlesbrough.
Sturrock added: "The important thing is that we keep on winning football games.
"We would like to get out of the bottom three, but whether we are out or not, we want to bring as many teams as possible into the fray as soon as possible.
"We want the 10 bottom teams to be looking over their shoulder. I am saying the more the merrier for me - that means there is more opportunity for us to slip out of the bottom three.
"Three points tomorrow will go a long way, along with one or two other results.
"If they go our way and we get a win we are breathing down people's throats, two points behind them."
