They were well drilled yes but if we are accepting a draw against any well drilled side as

"A good point" then it seems to be that we are already adjusting our aspirations downwards with the season barely underway.

It's not the result that bugged me yesterday but the completely disjointed, sloppy manner of the performance and the fact that once again we seem completely incapable of making changes to influence the course of a game once it's underway. To be fair, one thing that has been good under Neil is that we've rarely played poorly in two games on the trot so u expect us to improve on Tuesday but we were far too easy to defend against yesterday.

Also a few days ago I was really anti the possibility of selling Naismith and on balance I still am against it but i hope Neil is not going to become obsessed with accommodating him centrally at the expense of Wes because that did not help yesterday.
