Brown keeping feet on the ground
A John Sutton double either side of a Lukas Jutkiewicz goal gave the Steelmen a deserved victory over an Aberdeen side which looked jaded following their midweek exertions in their 3-0 win over Hearts at Tynecastle.[LNB]Brown said: "The one thing I would say is that things are going for us at the moment. There will come a time when things don't go for us.[LNB]"We have to keep calm and keep our feet on the ground and not get carried away because we have kept four clean sheets in a row and won here. We were fortunate here."[LNB]Brown credited Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee, a former Well manager, as one of the reasons behind the win.[LNB]He explained: "I have to give Mark McGhee credit as the guys that played so well for me were Mark McGhee men. They were experienced guys that were marginalised before Archie and I came here - guys like Stephen Craigan, Steven Hammell and Keith Lasley. Mark had them all in a team that finished third in the league. It is paradoxical but I'm crediting Mark for the success we had today.[LNB]"They are all great pros who speak so highly of him. The previous management was determined to go with youth. The youth were on the bench today and they are good young players but they were asked to do a lot after starting the season so well. They dipped and went eight games without a win so we brought the Mark McGhee boys back in."[LNB]McGhee, who named the same starting XI which had performed so well at Tynecastle in midweek, was baffled by his side's poor display.[LNB]He said: "There was a lack of energy and cohesion in the team. We were all to blame. I don't know if it was because of a lack of energy after Wednesday night. If you look at Mark Kerr, he was immense on Wednesday but looked lacking in energy today. You have to wonder why that is.[LNB]"Maybe the game came too quickly for them. I am baffled. I asked the players after the game and they just shrugged and couldn't give me a reason for the performance.[LNB]"We started off OK and I wasn't too alarmed but after we conceded the goal we deteriorated.[LNB]"We tried to change it about at half-time but we didn't get the chance because they scored almost straight away. The game got away from us and after that we never looked like a team that had the energy to get back into it."[LNB]McGhee also praised the performance of Motherwell's Jim O'Brien, a transfer target for the Dons.[LNB]He added: "Jim had the energy today. On Wednesday night you would maybe be ooking at our team and wondering where Jim would fit in. That is important to remember. But Jim was very good today, although that didn't surprise me."[LNB][LNB]
