Killie still not star turns
Alex Dyer was pleased to get a Scottish Cup replay but is adamant his Kilmarnock side have still to turn the corner.
Ki l lie went up to Pittodrie and battled out a stalemate to earn a Rugby Park replay a week on Wednesday.
The Ayrshire side are now three unbeaten, with two wins and a draw, but Dyer believes they still have some way to go to be where they want to be.
Dyer said: “It’s good to go from the run we were on to unbeaten in three games now, which is giving us a bit of momentum.
“We are trying hard in training and I said from day one we would get back to what we know and what we’re good at.
“We can only get that by being honest with each other. We have not turned the corner yet. We are not patting each other on the back as it’s only three games unbeaten.”
It was even more pleasing for Killie as this latest result came without Chris Burke, Harry Bunn and Stuart Findlay.
Dyer opted for three at the back and it worked a treat as they nullified Aberdeen’s threat.
With Rangers looming on Wednesday night, he knows his men have to be on red-alert.
The Killie boss added: “It was good, we came here and worked hard.
“We missed Chris Burke and Harry Bunn, so we decided to play three at the back because we have two full-backs who like to get forward and attack.
“The wind was strong and the sun was low as well in the first half so they were difficult conditions.
“We didn’t create a lot but they didn’t trouble us too much and we felt comfortable in the game.”
