DONS boss Derek McInnes played down his touchline spat with striker David Goodwillie.
One of talking points from the 1-0 win over Kilmarnock was a heated touchline showdown between McInnes and Goodwillie, after the Dons striker had been subbed in the second half.
McInnes was clearly displeased by Goodwillie’s reaction, although he played things down later.
The Pittodrie manager said: “David played well and on another day might have scored two or three goals.
“There was obviously a wee bit of frustration from him because he wanted to stay on the pitch.
“But the players know any changes made are with the best interests of the team in mind.
“We went to a 4-3-3 to see the game out.
“Adam Rooney was also kept on because his height meant he would be of use in defensive situations.
“David accepted that.
“I would rather players were unhappy to come off.”
