Former St Mirren manager Robinson had one job when he was belatedly appointed by Aberdeen in March – to maintain the club’s status as top flight ever-presents.<\/p>\n
Now, after earning back-to-back wins for the first time since October, he appears to have done that with a bit to spare.<\/p>\n
In this win, and against Hibernian last time, there were some hallmarks of what made Robinson successful at St Mirren and Motherwell.<\/p>\n
Notably there was a sterner defence of Aberdeen’s box as they registered consecutive clean sheets, and at times they showed greater urgency.<\/p>\n
The winner was typical of what Robinson is asking for. Aberdeen got the ball forward from kick-off, won a throw-in, and played from there.<\/p>\n
Milne found Stuart Armstrong, who laid it nicely into Aremu’s path and the midfielder’s shot ended up in the net after a deflection.<\/p>\n
The drop-off has been systemic this season for Aberdeen, as has their vulnerability from set-pieces and crosses, which almost cost them again as Tshibola found room twice to head off the bar.<\/p>\n
But Robinson needs more time and a summer window to fix the major issues, and at least now will be doing it with a Premiership budget, barring a strange end to the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former St Mirren manager Robinson had one job when he was belatedly appointed by Aberdeen in March –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-606021","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
