Match Thread Aberdeen 1 - 0 Kilmarnock

[Studebaker-90]

Slipping in to game management mode here

[G31DON]

should have been more comfortable than the last ten is going to be

[Simply Red]

McGeoch /Mcginn on. Thats a strong bench. Cmon Niall

[Superdon!!!11oneoneuno]

Can't believe the New Huns have let McRorie go. They must be flush with young, battling, prospects if they're letting guys like him go.

We need to start getting back to the high press in this game. Sitting back is inviting an equaliser.

[tightbreeks]

We've got a decent first team when everybody's fit, those subs that have come on are genuine starters as well.

[The Cockney Don]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.

[AllyDon]

Another good 3 points. 

Shame we didn't get the 2nd goal as it made the 2nd half more nervy than it needed to be. 

[aberdeen1970]

'One nil to the Aberdeen' 

5 wins in a row, can't complain. 

Top 4 already threatening to pull away. 

3 points between 5th and 12th

Wright should have scored there. Shame for him. Having another good game.

Feel hoor missing that very easy chance goosed me for a few hunner!

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Good result.

Decent performance & didn't really look like losing a goal, just a pity we didn’t get a 2nd to prevent the Logan/Taylor game management stuff in the last 20

Hopefully McCrorie’s knee injury is just an impact one that’s ok in a day or two (think it was banging knees with Clubfoot that did it.

 

[thurso]

Thought we played really well first half made some good chances but didnt test the keeper enough. Second half brought the pressure on a bit much but held out. If wright took the best chance we had would of made it less nervy

[fine-n-dandy]

Played well. Could have had another couple at least. Chuffed with how team is shaping up & especially the better football & more attacking actual ball playing.

mcinnes still has to try his 1-0 game management shite though. Cunt canny resist ffs. Let em play.

Added bonus, two decent bets in today, up a few£
 

Hibs -2 @ 13/2 was decent + a 16/1 ew horse winner

 

good day. Team wins & beat bookie. Good Saturday 

[Poodler]

Good run of form, didn't think the manager had it in him

credit where it's due

 

[RUL]

I thought we were excellent from back to front today. Very enjoyable game.

If there's still money for a player this season Watkins is where it should be spent 

Despite the fact he’s not scored, he does so much for the team to help keep the ball and bring the midfielders into the game.

never lets the defense settle either.

we’d probably need to bring Cosgrove back in when he’s fit to get him in the shop window and sell, which should ensure funds for Watkins

[muttonhumper]

 

Hard fought, but very decent win.

Liking the look of us.

Strong squad all playing their part.

We also are pretty damn good at breaking with speed.

One or two hairy moments towards last 10 minutes, but to be expected at 1-0 with opposition chucking folk forward.

2 cracking efforts from Hayes, he does look the business.

 

Keep it up Derek. Positive stuff.

[Zeus]

Ross McCrorie is Terrific 

[Shinniesta]

Killie must be sick of the sight of AFC.

Can't argue with 5 wins on the spin after that poor opening day performance and everything that happened immediately  after. McCrorie is the real deal. Been a good few weeks.

[Studebaker-90]

Strongest Aberdeen squad that I have experienced. A good balance of solid ball winning players and pacey attacking players. Keep it going. 

[CalgaryDon]

Thought McCrorie was brilliant once more however I thought Considine, Hoban, Hayes and McKenna were equally as good if not better today.

McGeough was once more very decent when he came on. He's good enough to start but the Wright, McCrorie and Fergie have just been too good.

Great win against a team that thumped Dundee Utd in their last match.

[TheRock]

Alarm bells were going after the Sevco game but 4(/5) wins in a row isn't bad. Feel like it's been a while since we've done that...? 

With regards to the crowd, how many people would we get in if the spacing used today was scaled to the whole stadium? 5000 maybe? I suspect we won't be allowed to the way things are currently going anyway. 

[fine-n-dandy]

My only complaint in this run is the fact all wins have been 1 goal wins. Which (considering football on show) is quite surprising. Fear that part is the McInnes game management that will never go away even when he has this strength of squad at disposal 

[aberdeen1970]

I'm hoping that if he keeps the same team going that goals will come. There's definitely a potential for goals all through that team.

He said post match it was a dead leg and then got a subsequent knock on but should be fine for Thursday. 

Good solid win again which should have been more comfortable with Wright finishing that chance. 

My only concern just now is a lack of goals. Need Watkins, Main, Wright and Hedges to chip in more.

Nothing to do with game management apart from the first game after the huns.

Just not clinical enough.

I’ll bet it’s not really your only complaint.......?

Watkins never got a sniff of goal today. Did well setting up that relative sitter for Wright which would’ve made it a comfortable last 20. 
Still, another 3 points & win. 

 

[RUL]

Think in fairness killie looked a decent team too. 

[Hagi's pubic hair]

Nice win, COYR, keep it up,  McCrorie’s a fucking brilliant signing.

[starryfish]

Think the lack of goals will catch up with us in a match soon enough. At least we created several excellent chances today.
