To the outsider, the result with Falkirk – only promoted to the top flight this season – might seem like a poor result. In reality, it’s not a bad point at all.<\/p>\n
Falkirk were looking to secure a top six place in the Scottish Premiership, while Aberdeen had won just one of their past 13 league games before this. They’d already lost twice to Falkirk, both by 1-0 deficits.<\/p>\n
And Robinson acknowledged pre-match that he needed to “simplify the things they were doing and the things that were causing them problems” despite only having one training session with them before the game.<\/p>\n
“They lost the ball a lot playing out from the back, so we’re trying to play the ball in the opposition half, trying to deliver more balls in the box,” he said. <\/p>\n
“Sometimes people try and complicate football a lot.”<\/p>\n
What he got from his side was a more simplified game. As you’d expect, players worked hard for the new boss, keen to impress.<\/p>\n
Kevin Nisbet, occasionally reticent to track back, was often spotted doing his defensive duties. The pressing of second-half substitute Lyall Cameron brought about the goal, as Brad Spencer was forced to play the ball backwards. <\/p>\n
And despite the late equaliser conceded to Barney Stewart, the new man was suitably pleased.<\/p>\n
“We looked a lot more structured and organised than we have been,” he said.<\/p>\n
“There were positive performances. It was Liam Morrison’s best game in an Aberdeen shirt, young Dylan Lobban was full of energy, Dennis Geiger was excellent and Nizzy [Kevin Nisbet] scores.<\/p>\n
“The back three were good. Gavin [Molloy] loses his man for the goal but outwith that, he was very good at times.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To the outsider, the result with Falkirk – only promoted to the top flight this season – might…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476546,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-476545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476545\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
