A mixed start but we’re still fourth, says Mcginn
Aberdeen have had a mixed start to the season but Niall Mcginn insists they are still handily placed.
The Dons’ results have lacked consistency at times so far this campaign, with Derek Mcinnes’ injury-hit side recording three wins, three draws and two losses in their opening eight league games.
But the Northern Ireland international was quick to point out that they sit fourth in the table and he believes a positive run is all it will take to improve their position.
“I think whether we’re winning games or losing games we’ll always keep a sort of level head,” Mcginn said. “Obviously a lot of people don’t see what goes on in training and stuff – there is always a positive mood and that comes from the manager and his assistant, right down to the group of players.
“Once we lose games we’re obviously frustrated as well as the fans but we always work hard on the training ground. You can’t win every game and when things are tough, it’s about everyone coming together and sticking together.
“The fans have always shown their support. We need the fans as much as we need each other. It is a collective unit so we just need to push together and I think we just need to get that bit of momentum.
“It’s one of those ones looking from probably the outside in it hasn’t been a great season but we’re still sitting fourth. It’s not a disaster. We’re still sitting in a nice place in the table and it’s one of those ones where if you go on a run of games you can definitely climb the table.”
Aberdeen travel to thirdplace Motherwell today without suspended pair Curtis Main and Lewis Ferguson and a host of injured players.
