Barry Robson took the blame for Aberdeen’s awful showing at Kilmarnock. The Pittodrie gaffer admitted he should have made more changes to his starting line-up as his lethargic side slipped to a 2-0 defeat.
Exertions from the Europa League loss against PAOK three days previously took their toll. The leggy Dons never got going in Ayrshire and turned in a hugely-disappointing display which brought some boos from the visiting support.
Robson said: “We were poor. In the first half, I didn’t think it was a very good game. They scored right before half-time, which was a bit of a sucker punch for us.
But the biggest problem was probably my fault. I should have freshened the team up more from Thursday night. It was pretty evident that we looked leggy in the first half. “We made a change at half-time and tried to change the shape, but it’s hard.
