Robinson on maintaining momentum, 'very tough' Dundee test & Knoester latest

[ASFN Admin]

Aberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson has been speaking to the media as his side prepare for Saturday's Premiership trip to Dundee.

Here are the main points:

• The Dons have a 100% record in all competitions so far and Robinson stresses "momentum is everything in football".
• But despite beating last season's Premiership runners-up Hearts in their opening league game, Robinson admits his new look squad is still a "work in progress" and stresses "it is not going to be the finished article after one league game".
• After that dramatic late comeback at Pittodrie last week, Robinson praises the "inner belief" in his squad to grind out a victory.
• The former St Mirren manager is expecting "a very, very tough game" against a Dundee team he thought were "excellent" in their 1-0 defeat at Celtic on Monday night.
• On reported interest in Dons keeper Dimitar Mitov, Robinson insists "we haven't had anything concrete yet".
• In fact, Robinson says there is no update with regards to any more new signings or possible departures.
• The boss says "leader" Mats Knoester, who fractured his knee on the final day of last season, is back in full training but isn't ready for Saturday's match although he could return to action in a couple of weeks.
• Team news: Brad Lyons and Connor Ronan are doubts for the trip to Dens Park.
