I can't be bothered with a proper recap. We all saw the match, even if we wish we hadn't, and it's too early in the season to wallow through it all over again.
What did we learn? Without FF and Aluko, the Dons' midfield is vulnerable and unimaginative. Certainly had Aberdeen not missed on several opportunities, Killie would not have had the opportunity for an injury time winner... but more important to me than the three points lost is how the Dons respond next weekend at Tannadice.
Had the home side been the victor instead, the narrative would be decidedly rosy, with many accounts of the "brave" Dons refusing to be deflated by injuries... and would be just as foolish as are those doom-sayers that, truth be told, included yours truly. Yes the Dons were curiously cautious at times, but overall the match had a decent bit of solid, back-and-forth football, and was far from the dreadful snoozefest Pittodrie was forced to witness last season. Damning with faint praise? That's all I have today, sorry.
