JIMMY THELIN insists that no-one at Pittodrie will be getting carried away after Aberdeen climbed into the upper half of the William Hill Premiership.

The Dons now sit sixth in the table following Saturday’s 3-1 win over Dundee at Dens Park.

The victory extended Aberdeen’s unbeaten run to eight matches but boss Thelin is adamant there is still much work to be done before his side are the finished article and he will continue to take things a game at a time.

The Swede said: “We have had some really tough away games and won them. It is not easy and it is not the perfect game but keeping the team spirit and harmony on the pitch is so important.

“I haven’t seen the table yet, but the season is so, so long with so many games.

“We also have the Scottish Cup and Europe so we have to take it game by game.

“The most important thing for us is that we get a little bit better every week.”

Dundee’s defeat to the Dons saw them slip to second bottom of the table but boss Steven Pressley still saw plenty of positives.

The former Scotland defender said: “I think with the ball it was probably our best performance this season.

“We had close to 25 crosses. Our two wide players were exceptional in their performances. We controlled long periods of the game with the ball.

“A couple of key moments cost us, but in general, it was a really, really positive performance.”
