JIM GOODWIN believes that the next five weeks will be pivotal to Aberdeen’s chances of a successful season with a heavy fixture list on the horizon.
The Dons return to Premiership action at home to Kilmarnock tomorrow afternoon – the first of seven league fixtures to be played before the break for the winter World Cup in Qatar on 12 November, with a Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Partick Thistle thrown in for good measure too – and Goodwin expects to see a reaction from his players.
Aberdeen’s previous outing ended in a 3-1 defeat to Hibernian at Easter Road and the manager of the north east club hopes his side can recapture their form and embark on another unbeaten run after the previous one was halted so abruptly as we enter a crucial stage of the campaign.
