The visitors arrived at the stadium rock bottom of the Scottish Premiership table having won just two league games all season up until they rocked up at the Granite City.

Dons had been on a bit of a poor run of form themselves and Robinson found himself under pressure even before kick-off with supporters' patience wearing thin.

So when they shipped four against Marink Reedijk's strugglers thanks to goals from Jamie McGrath, Callum Wright, Nicky Cadden and Thibault Klidje, both sides swapped spots in the division.

The boos rung out from within Pittodrie with calls for Robinson to depart becoming louder.

And Chris Sutton, on Sky Sports punditry duties, reckons the former St Mirren head coach may want to "do the honourable thing" by walking away before he's pushed.

"At the start of the season it was all about ‘it’s my team’, it’s a case where it feels the club is too big for him, the job is too big for him,” said Sutton. “Maybe he should do the honourable thing and walk away, but it’ll probably end in the sack.”

Robinson was determined to stick around despite the defeat and insisted he would remain at the helm until he's told otherwise.
