DONS boss Mark McGhee has challenged his players to reproduce their Tynecastle performance when they host Motherwell on Saturday.
Aberdeen moved into the top six of the Scottish Premier League above Motherwell on goal difference thanks to their third strike at Tynecastle.
The Dons manager is more concerned with seeing a similar display than edging past his former club after victories over Kilmarnock and Hearts made it four wins from five games.
"For me, the important thing is we produce consistency of performance," McGhee said.
"That will result in wins and points. I would like to see them look the same and I'll worry about what the result is later.
"We got booed off at half-time last weekend and we're sitting here with six more points so I'm taking nothing for granted."
Motherwell have kept three successive clean sheets in the SPL but McGhee pinpointed strike pair John Sutton and Lukas Jutkiewicz plus winger Jim O'Brien, a summer target for Aberdeen, as their main threats.
"I think the two strikers are playing well together," McGhee said. "John Sutton and the boy from Everton are a real handful.
"Big John is a great finisher. He doesn't run around a lot but when he gets the ball in the right position, he can hit the target and hit the target well.
"People know about my admiration of Jim O'Brien, he can get behind you and cause problems. We have to curtail his enthusiasm."
McGhee has drawn twice against Motherwell since leaving Fir Park in the summer but faces new management now following Jim Gannon's dismissal a month ago.
McGhee is close friends with Craig Brown's assistant Archie Knox, who was his number two at Millwall and Sir Alex Ferguson's right-hand man when he played for Aberdeen.
"I know Craig and Archie, and Archie in particular, and I know the boys will absolutely love him," McGhee said.
"I know the boys liked Archie anyway because they got to know him through his relationship with me, so he'll be popular there, as Craig will be, and they will respond to him.
"But I don't know whether it's going to be any more difficult because, regardless of what anyone says about relationships with the last manager, it was a really difficult game the last time they were here, so I don't expect anything different.
"I thought we were on the way to beating them at Fir Park before the sending-off. But that's over with, as is the Hearts game. The challenge is to reproduce that consistency."
