Robson and his team still laid low after Lee sickener
NOT WHAT THE DOC ORDERED

TONY DOCHERTY returned to Pittodrie and turned up the heat on his good friend Aberdeen boss Barry Robson.

Lee Ashcroft's second-half header cancelled out Bojan Miovski's penalty to give the Dark Blues a battling point.

It was another frustrating home night for Robson and Aberdeen. They just can't get their stuttering Premiership campaign up and running.

In the first half of the season they had the burden of Euro group stage football but now there are no excuses.

They had games in hand but this one has slipped through their hands. The hope was Aberdeen could claim third spot again but as it stands they're struggling to get out of the bottom six.

There was a 'Robson must go banner left outside Pittodrie after they lost to Hearts at the weekend.

And last night the team were booed at the final whistle with chants from the Red Shed for Robson to go.

For Dundee, the point keeps them in the top six and continues their progress as a newly-promoted side.

It was a home from home for Doc who spent eight years at Aberdeen as No.2 to Derek McInnes, who Robson served under a first-team coach.
