It's been a tough few weeks for everyone at Pittodrie, not least because there have been more players on the treatment table than on the training pitch. That early season euphoria has evaporated but as Andrew Considine told RedTV, the Dons are getting the walking wounded back to fitness and from here, the only way is up.

 

"You saw at the start of the season when we have everyone fit that we are a good side. We had three great wins and we started well, but when you have a thin squad and get three or four guys injured it is difficult.

 

"That was shown up in Inverness when we only had nine fit players and the rest were the young boys. Sone and Paul got 90 minutes against Hearts so they should ok. Andrius has not played for a long time, so he will need more games. Peter is to come back as well and unfortunately Fraser is more long term, but we are getting everyone back and the results will improve".

 

Last Saturday summed up the way things are going at present, a tight encounter that could easily have gone the other way eventually saw Aberdeen beaten, but nobody is sitting and sulking about the misfortune.

 

"We know one point from 18 is not good enough but the boys do not go out to lose. We are giving 100%, we are trying to win the games. Saturday's game was so tight it could have gone either way, like a number of the games we have lost. Hearts just had the only clear cut chance and they took it, those are the things that that can win or lose you games.

 

"We knew the Hearts game was going to be a physical battle,  it was always going to be that way. I thought we handled that quite well and they did not have that many clear cut chances apart from the goal.

 

"The game against Hibs is also going to be tough. They have had a difficult start to the season like us but obviously they have a new manager so they will be looking to put on a performance on Saturday. It does no matter who you play in the SPL, they're all hard games. Every game is tight. We now have most of the boys back and the best place to go and get three points is at home and we need to start doing that".

i am happy with the result and once again the flame of desire for Aberdeen to do well is rekindled

was very impressed with maguire and aluko yesterday maguire took his goal very very well and the other set up was a peach actually seemed to give a fuck this week and his attitude / body language was good ironically enough all of his good work came from out wide, only dissapointment and probably a bit harsh was that a couple of times i thought there was an oppertunity to pull the ball back and he went for goal...........which if it goes in is fine but just throught it would have sealed man of the match for him if he managed to get another set up on the sheet. think the two of them aluko / maguire working against hogg was working a dream for us today. Vernon looked to be up front on his own for large parts of the game which i wasnt too chuffed about. Dissapointing to lose the goals in the manner we did, if nish wasnt shite we could have been in some hot water.

 

good win and will get the confidance back up but hibs were absolutely rank

Pressure got to him?

After the match, Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee said, "Go and look me up on Wikipedia. I've got a track record. I know how to manage a football team but I need the players out there to do it and at times I think people have been a bit hard on us."

Good performance marred by 2 late goals and McGhee making a bit of a tit of himself afterwards. Fuck sake.

Do you think they just tried harder to impress all the ladies in red dresses on "ladies day"?

I hope not, cos I sure as hell ain't wearing a red dress every week to the football.  Be back to my jeans, fitba top, scarf n gloves for Tuesday night. 

Hell, if we were gonna score 4 every week I'd wear a red dress! Far's yer loyalty to the club?

Now that's a sight I think we should all see . . . . . .

there must be some kinda award for the manager who makes a tit of himself the most, McGhee would surely be in the running.

To be honest I thought it was all Hibs for the first half an hour and Howard had to make at least 2 or 3 smart saves in the first half to keep us in it. We were much better towards the end of the first half an in the second half but we runied it a bit by taking out foot off the gas and letting them in to score twice.

 

Can't complain too much though - even though the atmosphere was non-existant. 3 points is 3 points. Well done, McGhee and the players.
