Aberdeen

The Pittodrie reserves' second-half recovery against Falkirk A at Pittodrie was amazing.
The wiped out a two-goal deficit and took the lead in a quarter of an hour, and never looked like anything but confident and worthy winners.
The ineffective forward line became an attack with skill and punch; a half line that worked hard to little purpose turned into a well-knit line; and an unconvincing defence became bold and assertive.
In the "new" side, Jamieson and Walker who shared the goals, showed dash and skill.
merchant caught the eyewith well-placed passes and a refreshin willingness to go through on his own.
The Bairns best was Japp, who is small in stature, but has speed, good control and a strong kick. He got Falkirk's first goal. Fiddes, the old Celtic player, is still full of fight - his goal was a perfect one.
