I've given up calling it the positives because it restricts debate, I think.

Today was a bridge too far for our team.

If we were a boat, we'd have been a wreck when Howe took over. He's done an incredible job to patch up the holes, fix the sail and stop us sinking. We're now beginning to list a wee bit and let in a bit of water as the fixes give way a little under the constant strain.

What we're seeing is the result of years of neglect and we've done remarkably well to get as far as we have. We might end up limping back to port rather than storming home but we know that the right tools and materials are going to be made available when we get there.

Leaving that rather painful analogy aside, we were beaten by a better side today. They managed the game better and offered more in the final third. We offered very little in terms of a cutting edge and Wilson has produced this sort of performance more often than not recently.

Miggy isn't good enough to start next season as first choice.

Our fans were fantastic-that show of support at the end encapsulated everything we've said abiout our team-we don't demand a team that wins, we expect a team that tries. We tried today but it just wasn't our day.

The future is bright, keep the faith.

Over to you.
