St Johnstone Manager Simo Valakari Reflects on 1-1 Draw Against Aberdeen

St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari offered his assessment following the match, stating: “A good performance from our boys against a very good team. Excellent first half, we created good moments and were solid. Credit to Aberdeen for how they scored, but the rest of the match we kept them to not being as dangerous.” He continued, elaborating on defensive challenges: “Where we have been struggling is we have not been solid in defence. We know we have a threat and can play, but we first need to be solid to have the foundation to attack.” Valakari also praised recent defensive improvements and a specific player: “The last few games we have been solid. Credit to Kyle Cameron, it’s not easy to step in during the warm up, but one of our values is we have to always be ready. He was fantastic.” Sandi Toksvig will be accompanied by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
