St Mirren Manager Stephen Robinson Comments on 2-1 Victory Over Ross County

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson informed BBC Scotland that “Oisin [Smyth] has waited really patiently for his chance. He’s shown a terrific attitude, been superb in training. I always say to the players ‘you have to be ready’ when you get your chance and he was ready today – along with Roland Idowu.” Robinson further commented on the goal, stating, “It was a terrific finish but it’s no surprise, we see him do that every day in training. He’s a boy that I feel can get better and better. That goal deserved to be the winner today.” Describing the initial period of the match, the manager remarked that “The first half was horrible with the wind, we took the lead through a mistake and we rightly deserved it. There wasn’t a lot in it, it was a very scrappy affair.” He explained that his team “went down to 10 men after conceding in the first minute of the second half, which gave us a real uphill task.” Robinson added that this was “testament to the character of the players, the belief that they have in each other and we grew in belief with 10 men.” Robinson also expressed the view that “We should have scored three or four with better decision-making. The penalty on Killian is a clear and obvious penalty to me. It looks like it’s a handball as well in the box, when [Efete] saves it. Arguably there should have been a penalty for them as well. A lot of drama, a lot of decisions, but a goal worthy to win the game.”
