James Brown insists Ross County will be confident going into their League Cup quarter final against Aberdeen on Wednesday – despite losing 4-0 to the Dons last weekend.
The Staggies came away empty-handed from Pittodrie in the Premiership on Saturday, with goals from Bojan Miovski (2), Duk and Jamie McGrath consigning them to their heaviest defeat of the campaign so far.
However, Brown did not feel the scoreline was reflective of the play in the Granite City, insisting that County had chances of their own to find the back of the net.
With that in mind, he is sure that none of the players in Dingwall will be worried about going up against Aberdeen once more.
“Nobody wants to lose 4-0,” Brown explained.
“You don’t want to be embarrassed like that, and I don’t think we will on Wednesday.
“It will be a whole different game. We’re confident. Coming off the back of a 4-0 defeat isn’t pretty, but we know what we have in our dressing room is decent, so we’ll give them a good rattle.
“We have a chance to get into the semi final of a cup. Anything can happen, so we’re not going out there afraid because we know we can score against them and give them a proper game.”
It would be easy to think that the last side County want to face next are the team that just put four goals past them.
However, with the match being in a cup rather than the league, and under the lights in Dingwall rather than at Pittodrie, Brown is happy to have an immediate shot at redemption.
“It’s a good thing,” the Irishman stressed.
“People from the outside might think we’ll be dreading the game after a 4-0 defeat, but we’re not.
“It sounds silly, but it wasn’t a 4-0 game. We had chances, and if they go in it’s a whole different game.
“We’ll analyse it, and it’s a good thing we have them again on Wednesday to try and turn things around. It’s a quick turnover, so that’s all we can ask for.”
