Let’s wait & see how things pan out. 

Hopefully not a one off. 

You’d think he’ll stick with 5-4-1, which as we showed tonight, doesn’t need to be seen as defensive. 

Hopefully.

People are saying we haven’t got the players for 4231, I’d say we haven’t got the players for 352 tbh and results have shown that.

541 might work nicely, happy to see it stay for a while.

Barry's post match interview on spunkscene again it's arrogant & smug! He also thinks if we win our game in hand which is fuck knows when we'll be 3rd    he is so hard to like tbh.

Pretty sure it was Devlin. Could be wrong though

[Sheeptastic]

Much-improved performance and a much-needed three points. Good passages of play but not getting my hopes up just yet. Motherwell were pretty awful for most of that and unfortunately there have been enough dreadful performances from us this season (Hearts and Killie in particular) for me to think that Robson probably isn't the answer. His post-match has done him no favours. Incredible sense of arrogance.

Mental comment from him 😂 We don’t even have a game in hand over St Mirren ffs

I think he should just give up engaging with the media

He is hard to like. 
The arrogance is unnecessary & unwarranted. 
But, as I said earlier today, I don’t care that I don’t like him.

All that matters is that he sets us up to play decent football & win more than we lose.

Not a huge fan of that interview from Robson there. Comes across way too arrogant for a guy who’s only won 3 League games this season

Hopefully doesn’t come back to bite him in the arse

It was what Strachan would have come out with. Trying to be funny and failing miserably. That aside, great to get the win and some decent fitba.

He thinks we're only 2 points behind St mirren!  it'll take more than getting past hibs on Sat' much more tbh. Hopefully we can get enough decent results then get in 2 quality players in Jan.

Aye, it’s a bit cringey & a havering word salad, with the odd lie thrown in.

Exactly min. Who cares if we're being more consistent we results & performances.

Lol tottaly!  I'd rather hear from Agnew tbh.

[Crashnyploshnit]

Pleased to see Duk getting a goal. We were brilliant in the first half but meh in the second. Pleased to get a win irrespective. Looking forward to the semi now.

If we can score 4 goals in an away match l really do not care what he says to the media. 

[G man]

Played really well tonight so very difficult to slag Robson off for that- although some did?! 
So what do you do? - slag off his interview with the media. I really do not care what he says in post match interviews. Fergie wasn’t that good initially with the media. On the other hand Goodwin could have taken up most of Sportscene with his self congratulations.

As usual it's the minority opinion about him being hard to like but a merry band on here like to repeat it. You naysayers must be hard to like. Seen this before with Glass and McInnes - I dont know who you guys would like. I dont think he is hard to like - in fact I think most fans think he is very likeable. He is very good with the media - the weegie press have been all over us the last couple of weeks and he had shown character and fight. He it trying to build a new team and cope with significant challenges and it takes time. There were aspects of tonights performance that were really good - in keeping with some of our bigger games this season. Some of you need to stop moaning and get behind the team - remember Darvel and compare the race to third and some of the qualities that are starting to come through.

You are right.

[RAZOR]

Played so well that it's actually frustrating how poor we've been this season. Need to find some consistency.

Subs again causing huge frailties.

Saturday still remains the big one.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Just like the Strachan comparison earlier he can be as smug as he likes if he’s winning, or producing performances that deserve to win.

Absolutely buzzing - what a treat 

The race for 3rd 🙌

[CraigHill]

Decent win, good flowing football, poor to concede two at the end but the league is so tight we just needed some points on the board.

Hopefully a similar mindset on Saturday and not back to the soak it up, cautious, long ball escape route pish.

When we one of the worst starts to a season that I can remember from an Aberdeen team and our manager comes out with sarcastic chat about a crisis like we have just won the League after what should be a routine win against a bottom half side. I do care what he says in the media.

Just gives me the impression that he’s completely clueless, especially with his comment about 3rd place which was incredibly wide off the mark.

G man and Robson.

Not sure being sixth and if we win our game in hand being fourth would support your claim this has been one of the worst starts to the season. Do not think the stats back up that claim either.
