On the debit side, we have the best home record in the division, the best defensive record, have not lost to anyone outside the top six other than on Sutton's plastic pitch, are still in with a realistic chance of the title, look almost certain to get a play-off place.....
We were ninth when Mellon took over and he has basically had to mix and match with Brabin's squad, several of whom he probably does not rate. In my view you can't fully judge him for another twelve months at least, when he has had a full pre-season and transfer window and has his own squad in place.
Having failed to make the play-offs last season, and looking set to fail again when Mellon took over, to finish in the top five will be a real achievement this season.
