Paul Sheerin Post Match
“Ross County made us work hard without overly working Tomas. He had one save to make at the start of the second half.
“We also did not create too much, but were clinical with the chances that we did create.
“It was not comfortable.
“It was not overly enjoyable – not as enjoyable as a 4-1 win should be.
“There are plenty of negatives but in terms of the positives – Bruce Anderson’s finishing is so clinical when he gets the opportunities. Scott Wright produced a good finish and played well. The goals we score are all good goals. For the first one Curtis does very well and plays a good through ball.
“When we were put on the back foot, I do think we could have dealt with that situation a bit better than we did.
“But when we did get the ball forward, as I say we were really really clinical.
“We know that finishing comes naturally to Bruce and when he is in those positions you more often than not know the outcome.
“All his finishes are really accomplished and once you start scoring as a striker it seems like it gets easier and easier. His three last week meant his confidence was very high going into the game today.
“We had a number of first team players involved and they all played their part.
“We never expect anything less when they come in. Their attitude is always second to none. So that was never going to be in question. Today was more about fitness for them and getting minutes that they are not getting at first team level at the moment. For them it is about running about and trying to get or create goals or doing their defensive part properly. And they did that.
“Next up is Formartine in the Aberdeenshire Cup next Tuesday.
“It is tough for us as they are one of the favourites for the Highland League. We played against one of the other favourites Brora recently and up there we had a 15 minute spell where we capitulated.
“So we will go and see if we have learned from that and try and be a bit more solid. “When you have got that talented at the top end of the pitch you have always got opportunities to win football matches if you can tighten up at the back.
“The Reserve Cup and the Aberdeenshire Cup will give us good competition. We have plenty of games to look forward to over the next couple of weeks.”
