While Dundee showcased strong performance under Steven Pressley, Aberdeen appeared to struggle, particularly in defense.

What they're saying

"
The first thing that should be acknowledged in the wake of Aberdeen's defeat to Dundee on Saturday is that Steven Pressley's hosts were excellent across the board, from back to front. Pressley has had to rebuild Dundee for a second successive summer and the early signs are he has done so successfully. New left-back Nesta Guinness-Walker will have had nightmares about Joe Bevan since the game.
