Barry Robson has gone from grins to grimaces as a rotten Pittodrie record shows no sign of coming to an end.
The unpredictable nature of Scottish football can be encapsulated by looking closely into the eyes of Barry Robson in the wake of his side's 2-0 defeat to Kilmarnock.
It's a dreary run and it's a third consecutive season where the wheels appear ready to fly off. Yes, the PAOK defeat was tinged with bad fortune over VAR but Robson – as much as any independent observer – pointed to his own players pining for self combustion with slapstick defending as the main reason for their downfall in their Europa Conference League sickener.
And that ire was only increased by the revelation of the stat of the day amid their Rugby Park pasting. That is now 20 consecutive Premiership games Aberdeen have lost when conceding the first goal. An utterly bonkers record that stretches back to last season when the Dons, somehow, landed third despite losing an eye-popping 17 times. Jim Goodwin paid with his job and Robson was the saviour but woes are mounting once more.
