Ross County boss Malky Mackay has hit out at Aberdeen's PLAYERS for their role in Jim Goodwin's sacking - telling the Dons squad they "should have performed" for the recently sacked boss.
Goodwin joined Aberdeen midway through last season, and despite only hauling the Pittodrie-based side to a 10th-placed finish - their worst for 19 years - he got the side from the Granite City firing again before the World Cup break, with the side lying in third come the Qatar break. However, a poor string of results heading into the new year saw the Dons slip down the league table into seventh - with a 5-0 battering at Hearts, a 6-0 drubbing at Hibs and even a 1-0 loss to minnows Darvel in the cup being the pick of the results.
He was sacked after the game at Easter Road, yet Barry Robson - standing in as interim - has quickly restored the status quo. The Scot has led Aberdeen to six wins from seven, with only a loss at Celtic breaking the perfect record. Though, despite his superb start to life on the east coast, Mackay has been quick to savour the efforts of Goodwin - appearing to put the blame on the players for not working hard enough for either Goodwin or Stephen Glass.
