Jack Baldwin believes “larger than life” characters will help Ross County get back on their feet after a bruising week where they lost three times.
Back-to-back defeats to Aberdeen were followed up by a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Hearts last Saturday, with Alan Forrest’s header proving decisive.
It is the first time the Staggies have lost three in-a-row since March and April, but Baldwin believes there will be plenty of positivity in and around the training ground in the build-up to this Saturday’s Premiership fixture away at Dundee.
“We know we’ve had a really rough week with results and exiting the cup the way we did,” Baldwin, named County’s club captain this season, admitted.
“We’re all grown men in there, so we know what it takes to pick ourselves back up.
“We need to bounce off each other when we come back in to training, and we’ll do our debrief and discuss where we could do better and where we could do better.
“We’ve got a big week now making sure we’re recovered to be better on Saturday.
“We’ve got a great group in there who understand the game and understand how to win.
“We understand this has been a rough week for us, but there will be others who don’t need to rely on me to pick them up.
“We’ve got larger than life characters who will make it a fun place to be. We’ll work in training, but at the same time it will be good to be in the dressing room and on the pitch to galvanise each other and make sure we’re in a good place.”
Despite defeat against Hearts, Baldwin felt there were positives to take, adding: “I think we frustrated them for large parts and kept a good shape.
“We thought that if we did that against Hearts, we could create more chances, and we did.
“We had a couple of good chances to peg them back at the end, so there are definitely positives to take.”
