After the last few weeks and 1 point out of 18 it was great to see Aberdeen take advantage of a Hibs team low on confidence.
It looked like Mcghee listened to the fans and play Chris Maguire in his natural position where he had scored for Scotland U21 in the last couple of games and he rewarded us with the 1st goal.
While the attacks were fast and at times deadly the defence still looked very shaky.
Colin Nish was getting too much free space in the box and it was only a matter of time before one of his free headers went in. The Hibs 2nd goal was another free header so some work needs done at the back (as if we didn't knew it already).
I am not making the same mistake as I did after the Hamilton and Saint Johnstone games and getting over excited but this was a much deserved and much needed 3 points and if we can keep a good running going over the next few weeks then maybe I will be convinced.
Hibs have been as bad as us this season and have looked low on confidence but I was always wary of the new manager syndrome that clubs get and with us being up against them for Colin Calderwoods 1st game in charge I was not expecting this victory.
But for now I am still in the unconvinced about Mcghee camp, he still has a lot of work to do to win me over.
Now onto the league cup quarter final against Falkirk on Tuesday. A must win game.
Hopefully this time next week we will have a semi final to look forward to.
Stand Free
Not the best of games but will take the 3 pts.
ReplyDeleteCould have been 2-0 up before we scored bu McGuire and mackie missed.
The loss of the 2 Hibs goals is a worry for the defence they seemed to switch off at 4-0 and cruise along.
Must do better on Tuesday against Falkirk who won 5-1 away from home today. Hibs like us are playing with low confidence as I thought it would be a harder game for us.
It looked a game from the bottom 6 of the league a lot of work to be done yet.
Not a convincing win in my mind against a poor team but a welcome one to stop the rot.
Come on the Dons
Yes a vital 3 points. People are saying the 2 goals would not have been lost if we were not 4-0 up but as professional players they should be switched on for 90 minutes. The league minus the old firm is very close. 2 goals might just be the difference between top and bottom 6 place.
