Ross County’s captain, Connor Randall, has expressed determination for his team to bounce back stronger following a challenging international break. The Staggies are currently grappling with a disheartening statistic: they have not secured an away league victory in 23 matches. This streak was further compounded by a 3-0 defeat to Dundee United, a match that seemed to be within reach for much of the first half.
Despite the recent setback, County’s previous week showcased some promise, including a 2-1 victory over Kilmarnock and two goalless draws against Hibernian and St Mirren. These results have kept them within striking distance of the top half of the table, sitting four points clear of the relegation zone. Their next challenge comes against fifth-placed Motherwell on November 23, a match that Randall believes is crucial for their morale and standings.
The defeat at Tannadice was particularly frustrating for Randall and his teammates. After a solid first half, where they adhered to their game plan, the second half saw a dramatic decline in performance. Randall noted, “We put a lot into the first half… but it was a bad result for us.” This inconsistency has plagued the team, with painful losses against Rangers and St Johnstone adding to their woes. The captain emphasized the need for the squad to learn from these experiences and improve their performance in future matches.
Randall’s message to his teammates is clear: they must regroup and prepare for the upcoming match against Motherwell with renewed vigor. “We can’t put our heads down and feel sorry for ourselves,” he stated. The international break provides an opportunity for reflection and strategy adjustment, and Randall is hopeful that the team will return to action with a stronger mindset. He acknowledged the importance of addressing their away form, stating, “If we can start picking up points away from home, we will be in a good place.”
As Ross County gears up for their next fixture, the focus will be on transforming their fortunes and breaking the away win drought that has haunted them for far too long. With the right adjustments and a collective effort, the Staggies aim to turn their season around and climb the league standings.
