Dons confidence `fragile' - McGhee

15th March 2010

Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee admits confidence is "fragile" in his team but he feels there is a good performance waiting to come out of his players.

Aberdeen go into Tuesday night's Clydesdale Bank Premier League match against St Johnstone without a victory in nine games.

Zander Diamond's equaliser at Hamilton in their previous game prevented their losing streak hitting four matches but Aberdeen go into the game just seven points off the top six, with two games in hand, after Hearts lost at Motherwell on Saturday while the Dons were inactive.

McGhee said: "The confidence is fragile, that's absolutely without doubt, but it doesn't take much to just tip it the other way.

"To go to St Johnstone and get the first goal and go on and win the game could make a huge difference to the rest of our season in terms of confidence never mind results.

"We can play a lot better than we did to get the draw at Hamilton, so it's not just about sneaking it we want to play well. We have a performance in us and that's what we want to produce going into these remaining games."
