We asked for your views on Aberdeen’s 4-1 win against Dundee.
Here’s what some of you said:
Steven: This was a big result and our manager has a knack of knowing when to make substitutions that make a difference in the second half of games. We also can’t under estimate Dimitar Mitov’s contribution on the penalty save. After the international break we have tough matches but the Dons juggernaut keeps on going.
Lindsey: What a result! Finally a comfortable win. Once again the subs made an impact. Nisbet in particular was superb. Slobodan Rubezic was uncomfortable without Sivert Nilsen in front and made a few clumsy errors, would like to see if Angus McDonald could offer more composure. Nonetheless, with top players missing, our team is never compromised.
Marty: Another convincing win in the end. We possibly rode our luck a bit in the early stages of the game but we were much more clinical and composed in the second half. Again the substitutions changed the game. I can’t help thinking how we would be with Bojan Miovski still in the team, although that said it’s not like we are struggling to find the back of the net.
John M: Great to get back to winning games and by a good margin. Jimmy and the staff deserve a lot of praise for their work with the squad this week. However, we are giving easy chances to the opposition and again lost a cheap goal, our defenders are poor markers sometimes, Simon Murray should have never had a clear header for the Dundee goal.
William: A decent game of football, both sides trying to play a good game. Dundee were the better side first half but the Dons stuck to their game plan and got the rewards. Great goals and still looking for more, right to the last kick rather than the traditional Scottish way of holding onto what you have.
Fred: Mitov set us up with a great penalty save and again masterful substitutions produced the win. Overall an impressive performance by players and management. We definitely look like the best of the rest. A great match.
Keith: I thought it was a good answer to the question of how we handle a bump in the road. The bus is still motoring, and the wheels are still on. Happy days. It wasn’t a complete 90 minute performance, but with Jimmy, we seem to only need 45 minutes most games. Who knows where this season is going, but I’m all in.
Mike: Great to bounce back after last week’s heavy defeat with a convincing win. Could have been a different outcome if Dundee had converted their first half penalty though and we would then have had to come from behind. Although we’ve done that already this season against Hearts.
Daniel: Another Thelin win in the face of those who were at pains to drive home the ’embarrassing’ nature of the loss to Celtic. This train isn’t derailing that easily. Remember, this is only month five of a three year project.
Niall: A scintillating second half display from the Dons settled this tussle against a quality Dundee side. It’s clear that there is such cohesion in this squad with another big impact from the subs, 42 secs for the Vinnie goal must be some kind of record. Comfortable and calm on the ball, intensity in transition and high press are key to success.
