Jim Goodwin admits Aberdeen have been playing mind games to ensure there’s no League Cup shock at Annan. The Dons boss believes psychology sessions with his squad will ensure they won’t shrink when tasked with taking care of a League Two side with big ambitions.
A trip to Galabank comes after impressive back-to-back Premiership wins and Goodwin said: “Something we’re big on is mindset. We talk about the psychology of the game and the culture we create at the training ground. We’ve got a really humble group of players, no big egos and no one will underestimate or disrespect Annan.
“We know the challenges we face. The astro pitch isn’t ideal, it’ll be quite a tight pitch. We’ll give Annan the utmost respect and prepare as professionally as we always do. The players know exactly what’s going to be required.”
