The Buddies stole the points with a Fergie-time goal from Travner. To be fair the Dons had their opportunities and failed to capitalize, but Paton continues to disappoint, and mental lapses seem to occur at the worst possible moment.

Match Summary: Aberdeen 4 - 2 Hibernian
Now, that's more like it. Scott Vernon continued his goal-scoring prowess and Maguire and Mackie each did their part to secure the points and ruin Colin Calderwood's opener as Hibs' manager. Sone Aluko showed why I tipped him in the preseason to surprise for the Dons.
The points merely held Aberdeen at eighth in the table, but in this case the match was honestly worth much more than three points (the first gained since 21 August) as hopefully the lads can continue forward with increased confidence. As long as health concerns do not manifest themselves, I still see this as a top-six side, able to surprise when motivated and certainly produce football that is worth watching. Consistency is what matters now, and for that McGhee must keep his charges on the right foot.

Match Summary: Aberdeen 0 - 1 Hearts
In this case I blame not Howard but McGhee, or at least his physio staff. Having suffered a significant knock to the head just before half-time, Howard handed the points to Hearts after denying the visitors in the first half with several sparkling saves.
Eh, that's all I can muster for now. Disappointing result after and inconsistent effort... and one pointfrom the previous six matches.

In case you've been under a rock for the past day or two, here is young Maguire's brilliantly cheeky goal in the Scotland-Iceland U21 match.

Week 7 Recap: Caley Thistle 2 - 0 Aberdeen
What an ugly match. More later, if I can be bothered. Paton given a straight red, Megginson stretchered off, and the Dons drop to seventh in the SPL as they give ICT their first home points of the season.
