Unhappy Jim Goodwin has insisted Aberdeen's defeat to Motherwel l was a reality check. The Steelmen came up and did a job on their hosts in this five-goal Pittodrie thriller.
Goodwin accepted that his team made it too easy for Motherwell and told broadcast media their defending was below par. He told Sky Sports: "Some of the gaps along the back line were criminal, really."
The Aberdeen boss then said in his post-match press conference.: “This is a reality check for us. We’ve had it all our own way in recent home games and we have to find a way to break teams down. We just didn’t move the ball quickly enough today. Most teams are going to come here and hit us on the break. We didn’t move the ball quickly enough today and we played into Motherwell’s hands a lot. We have to learn from it.”
