Brilliant 3 points, was actually settling for a draw after the chances we missed and they missed a couple of chances late on. Joe Lewis back at Aberdeen as goalie coach? Glad to see Ap Stam put away the penalty, wouldn't like to think what it would have done for his confidence had he missed it.

We need one of those parted by mutual consent deals then so we can get him 😃

He's under contract until the summer of 2027, unfortunately.

O'Donnell for me because he deserves it for his consistency this season and all round quality of performance.

Would be nice if we could sign him in January instead of having him on loan.

Really impressed with what I’ve seen from Welsh so far.

Welsh

The gaffer said

Welsh is exactly the kind of central defender we were needing and has been performing well. Even without Slattery and Just, the midfield was excellent again, and Watt edged it again for me. Will be interesting to see what JBA does next week without Welsh. Start Koutroumbis and play him or SOD out of position, or start with Balmer.

Went for O'Donnell as I just can't get over his improvement so far this season. I was desperate for him to leave the last two summers, but what do I know?

It' also takes a lot of composure and skill to chip from that area. When he did shoot us was way off target.

I went with Watt, he is integral to the style we are playing. Welsh, O'Donnell and Ward all worthy of mention.

Brilliant 3 points , deserved the win overall Must admit with about 10 minutes to go I thought another draw . Better late than never It would had been very frustrating after all our hard work and effort this season to have no wins from 6 league games , confident we will get another win very soon

I still think he had 2 chances to lob/chip Ward and one chance to set his mate up but I agree Welsh done very well to distract amd stop him

Well done to all the players and manager. Ap got assist and goal. Took courage to take that pen after missing the chances. He also got assist for first goal. Hope he now builds on that. Watt great again. Callum ward also good and now has another clean sheet. Played some great football.

Watt ran the game.

Correct, spot on.

The kind of match where you needed a howler and a penalty to see a goal! First half Aberdeen should have scored in the first minute and later had one cleared off the line. We looked fine up to the last third were we just couldn't create anything. Second half we looked to have a bit more edge, up to a point anyway, as we missed a couple of sitters and should have done better on a couple of other occasions. Aberdeen didn't really trouble us much but there were a couple of sloppy moments at the back that could and maybe should have cost us. Overall the game could have gone either way but I thought we edged it with our 2nd half performance. I'd like to see the stats for that match cos I think it's entirely possible Callum Ward had more touches and played more passes than any other player.

To be fair, the reason he wasn’t able to do that was because Welsh got back to shut him down

And unfortunately not able to play next week

Welsh has made a huge difference to our defence, reads the game well and cuts out a lot of danger.

Watt was excellent in the first half and a bit quieter second half. Odonnell did well but I thought welsh was exceptional all game. Defensively we are looking quite good….. first time I’ve uttered this since about 1995

Don’t forget a speciall mention for the Aberdeen player who decided not to hit the ball over Ward into the empty net and their goalie for kindly ushering the ball over the goal line.

I am liking this seasons O'Donnell. Hopefully AP can kick on from this. Penalty was never in doubt, he caught him twice. This new style is really good. There were periods where it was attack v defence. Loving it

Often takes a wee bit of luck to get a win regardless of good play. The key is to keep at it. Another Aberdeen keeper's howler for the scrap book - although the conditions didn't help him. I'm actually looking forward to next week to see how we match up.
