To be fair, the tools could have been really downed at 4-1 and that could have ended up as bad as, if not worse, than the Funsters last season. To their great credit, they didn't capitulate and I thought did pretty well second half. Had that chance their keeper saved on 86 minutes gone in to make it 4-3 then it would have been an interesting last few minutes. To summarise, I would suggest that first half we saw a team that would struggle to stay in the Championship, second half was a mid table Premiership team. Much,much, more of the latter, and much less of the former may yet give us a chance this season.

To his credit, McInnes in his post match interviews was questioning United's current predicament on the basis of the second half performance.
