McLeish Shines On Home Return
Fortunately, the lesson appears to have been taken to heart for the team performance in the following Premier Reserve League fixture showed a considerable improvement and produced a 1-0 victory over Hibs at Pittodrie.
Stephen McAnespie claimed the decisive goal witha deflected free kick on the hour mark, but, overall, the Aberdeen play was much more positive, with the opposition being kept under pressure all over the field. Only a couple of fine saves by the Hibs' keeper kept the winning margin tight, while at the other end, Michael Watt had a relatively quiet time.
The Hibs game saw Ian Downie shining ina front-running role, playing through the middle instead of his normal wide right beat - a useful bonus in the current situation with regular strikers Andy Gibson and Colin MacRonald both on the injured list.
