Too simplistic to suggest starting that the team that finished would have been better. Instead we should praise Mellon for altering approach to the game as it itself altered. The game itself altered because of the good work our starting 11 did, whilst playing against a top team who were having the best performance of their season.

Would be handing out a lot of credit today rather than criticise anyone. To be disappointed not to have snatched a win shows the progress of our squad as a whole.
Can't agree with a lot of that I'm afraid. The way we set up we were very lucky not to go in at half time 3 or 4 behind. Very lucky.
I don't think anyone criticises players because they enjoy it. I'd rather see Harkes and Clark play blinders in midfield than criticise them.
But agree there are good signs of progress and having Chalmers back is like a new signing.
