Cowie on squad confidence, away form & ‘dangerous’ Saints

Don Cowie has been speaking to the media before Ross County’s trip to face St Johnstone on Wednesday.

Here are the key lines from his press conference:

• Cowie was “delighted” with how County came back from conceding an early goal to beat Dundee 3-1 and says “the response was excellent”.

• On scoring three goals in their last two games: “There’s a confidence about the group right now, it’s about trying to maintain that and keep things going.”

• The County boss is not expecting an easy game against bottom club St Johnstone and says they are “a good, dangerous team” but insists the Staggies are intent on extending their “excellent” away form to continue the “real belief and confidence within the group”.

• Cowie says County are “an improving team” and after losing key players in the summer “sometimes you need to be patient, it takes time”.

• He adds: “Now you can see a group of players that are very comfortable in this environment playing for our club and really enjoying their football. That’s a real key, there’s a lot of individuals playing with a lot of freedom.”
