Aberdeen fans, we asked for your opinions on the 2-0 win over Dundee United at Pittodrie, which officially secured topflight safety. Here’s a taste of what you had to say…
Neil: Well done to Stephen Robinson and his coaching staff. At times this season Aberdeen players have looked lost and lacked confidence. They are now much more organised and are keeping clean sheets. Two games to go for the manager to decide the players he wants to keep and start building for next season. Hopefully he will be fully backed by the chairman.

Justin: Fantastic to secure safety on our own terms, along with another clean sheet. Robinson deserves a lot of praise for what he’s achieved in such a short time.
Jim: Toyosi Olusanya was terrific, especially the first half. Unfortunately as a team we can’t move forward with a few players who have failed all season. Jack Milne, Gavin Molloy and Dimitar Mitov are not anywhere good enough to pull the red jersey on.
Niall: This season will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Now it’s time to wipe the slate clean. It’s galling how the board allowed the club to drift for so long after Jimmy Thelin left, as I feel Robinson has already steadied the ship with the existing squad. Who knows how the season might have turned out if he had been appointed in February? Onwards and upwards for next season with no European pressure.
Struan: Huge credit to the lads, far better all round. Looking forward to next season, which is something I never saw myself saying after such a poor season. Set the deadwood adrift and let the man (Robinson) cook, as they say.

Stephen: We are so much better when we play direct football, asking questions of a defence by going over the top, and down the wings. Long may that continue! United’s disallowed goal came from the one time we tried to be ‘modern’ and play cute from the back. There is a lesson there!
Ian: Let’s not get carried away, we’re playing teams in the lower section of the league. The measure will be next season in all playing better teams. Looking for third spot in the league is Aberdeen’s ultimate goal and then we can say it’s been a success.
Arch: Relegation avoided – which for many of the current squad will be the highlight of their career. One or two bright spots on the horizon. Olusanya’s beginning to get it together, midfield is looking stronger than it was, but I still have little confidence in that defence.
