A 'false dawn' or 'onwards and upwards' for Aberdeen?


A 'false dawn' or 'onwards and upwards' for Aberdeen?

Aberdeen fans, we asked for your views on the victory over Dundee which ended the Dons' 14-game Premiership winless streak.

Here's what some of you said:

Richard: While we can appreciate a couple of wins on the bounce, I remain unconvinced we are ready for tough opposition. Great performances by Ante Palaversa, Topi Keskinen and some of the new recruits but I fear that the level of opposition in the past two games is creating something of a false dawn. The rate of improvement is good, but needs to continue.

John: Good win. The players who came in the January window look a lot better than the ones they replaced. Dundee were the better team but we will take three points and move on. Jimmy Thelin can't play the two old men in midfield together, the legs have gone and why doesn't Shayden Morris get a start? Onwards and upwards.

Eric: A dogged, determined display by the team, however we won't survive that kind of onslaught on a weekly basis. You can't defend in your 18-yard box alone and the midfield need to cut off these opportunities long before they arrive. Good to see goals from the strikers, though not sure on the combination up front. A great confidence booster overall.

John: Well a win was certainly needed and the team dug in to get a result which takes a bit of pressure of the management team and the players. We still looked disorganised defensively and pretty messy at times.

John: Feels like the beginning of a new era. Duk, Slobodan Rubezic, Graeme Shinnie and Leighton Clarkson being quietly discarded while Jimmy Thelin stamps his authority on the club with signings that fit his style of play. Third in the league with a third of the season still to play. Crisis, what crisis?

John: At last a glimmer of hope. Mats Knoester did well and Richard Jensen is looking very promising, might be worth swapping him with Sivert Nilsen in the centre. Several good balls into space where a striker should have been, but wasn't. Would have liked to see Oday Dabbagh replace Kevin Nisbet for the last 20 minutes. More determination and effort was a positive.
