'These hard fought wins define true champions'

Dons fans, we asked for your views on Saturday's 1-0 win over Dundee United.

Here's what some of you said:

Cameron: These are the games that we need to be winning if we have any chance at splitting the Old Firm. It's too early to be talking about making a run at the title, but considering where we ended last season, I could not be happier with the progress we are making under the new manager.

William: I have been a supporter since I was four, I'm now 81, and I love seeing them playing as a team and working for each other. I love watching them. Still a bit to go but the manager knows the game and has proven that every game. We can't afford to lose him.

Marty: The dream continues. Another determined, gritty and professional display by Aberdeen. You can tell what it means to every player. What Jimmy Thelin has done is build a bond between everyone involved at the club and created a feeling of unity and togetherness. Can we challenge for the league? Absolutely, 100 per cent.

Bruce: Jimmy seems to have a real knack of creating unlikely heroes – Peter Ambrose this time. I hated United's spoiling tactics, bringing down players on dangerous breaks. When it happens repeatedly, a simple yellow card for each player isn't enough punishment when so many subs can be made. Perhaps warn the captain after two, then straight red for the third offender.

Jim: Another fairly dominant performance. Another one where we didn't get as many goals as I felt we could have, or should, but absolutely no complaints, a win is a win. I feared for a moment that United would sneak an equaliser with one of their long throws, especially with Slobodan Rubezic undergoing treatment. This match showed we can break down deep defending teams too.

Stuart: An excellent result despite playing against a team who came for a draw, the real tests now come in the next two games. At least Rangers will come and try to win the game but another packed Pittodrie should bring out the best in our lads.

Donald: I'm with Jimmy on taking one game at a time. That way the players, the team and the fans shouldn't get ahead of themselves. It is absolutely correct to repeat that you don't win trophies in October. The start to the season has been fantastic but there is a long, long way to go. We require to keep our feet on the ground, for now.

Jacqui: Aberdeen's victory over Dundee United may not have been a masterclass in beautiful football but it is precisely these kinds of hard-fought wins that define true champions. The ability to dig deep, to stay resilient in challenging moments, and to grind out results when the game is scrappy shows a level of grit and determination.
