In a bid to alter the narrative surrounding their away performances, Ross County’s manager, Don Cowie, has called upon his players to secure their first away league victory since September 2023. The Staggies have faced a challenging season, having gone 21 matches without a win on the road, with their last triumph being a narrow 1-0 victory against Kilmarnock.
Despite showing promise in certain fixtures, Ross County has struggled to convert opportunities into wins.
Their recent matches include a heavy defeat to Rangers (6-0) and a 3-0 loss at St Johnstone. However, they have managed to earn draws against Motherwell and Hearts, indicating that they can compete but have yet to find the winning formula away from home.
Cowie, who took over as permanent manager in the summer, is acutely aware of the importance of improving their away form.
He stated, “The sooner we can win away from home, it changes the narrative.” He emphasized that while statistics can be daunting, they are meant to be broken. The team has shown resilience, with commendable performances against tough opponents, and Cowie believes that a shift in mindset is crucial for success.
As they prepare for their next match against St Mirren, Cowie remains optimistic. He noted, “Saturday is another opportunity to try and rectify the run we’re on.” The manager is keen to instill a sense of belief in his squad, encouraging them to embrace the challenges ahead. With no new injury concerns and the return of key players, the team is poised to make a strong push for that elusive away victory.
In his first season as the permanent boss, Cowie has fostered a strong team ethos, emphasizing that every player, regardless of their playing time, is vital to the club’s success. He remarked, “The ethos of this football club is that we’re very much together as a group.” This unity is essential as they navigate the competitive landscape of the Premiership, where every point counts.
Looking ahead, Cowie is focused on building consistency within the squad. He believes that accumulating points now will set the foundation for future success. “It’s about putting results together and winning games of football,” he stated. As the season progresses, the team aims to position themselves favorably for the challenges that lie ahead, striving to avoid the relegation playoffs they faced in previous years.
With a renewed focus on their away performances and a commitment to teamwork, Ross County is determined to change their fortunes. As they gear up for their next match, the players are ready to embrace the challenge and aim for a much-needed victory.
