Ricky's report of the Aberdeen game is now available.

Terry Butcher's after-match comments yesterday were as follows:
"That was the worst we have played for a long, long time. I an disappointed given the form we had shown in recent weeks, its difficult to explain  You know with young players that the form will dip at some time but when we dip we are flipping atrocious. We changed tactics but it wasn’t to be our day, and we never really looked like scoring. There were no angry words in the dressing room afterwards, just puzzled why we played that way. We have to write it off as a bad day at the office!

"The ref said that he meant to give Pearson a straight red. Stephen has been very apologetic in the dressing room, he knows what he has done. Sadly I think he was fouled seconds before and this frustration, and the frustration of the game, saw him kick out.

"Aberdeen got the breaks but we didn’t have the belief and we stood back waiting for others to make things happen. We just didn’t play anything like the way we can!"
