In the face of Storm Beolo a spirited Dons display didn't bring the result the Red Army craved.

In light of another defeat, Stephen Robinson is facing another storm of pressure with three huge games looming.

It's quite ironic this Aberdeen squad, which was hit by a flu virus in the build-up, played some of their best football this season at Tanndice.

However, the defending for Dundee Uniteds goals have left the fans and manager feeling sick. Once again a team haven't had to work hard to score against us. There are still question marks around the top end of the pitch as well.

Every time we look to take one step forward this team takes two steps back.

The run of three games in 10 days starts with Falkirk, uneaten in five, visiting Pittodrie and ends with current bottom side Hibs also coming north.

A League Cup semi-final against Rangers is sandwiched in between and I can't help but feel Robinson needs two good home wins regardless of the outcome at Hampden if he wants any leeway with an increasingly frustrated and restless support.
