We scored a goal, created chances and were in the game but again we have conceded a sloppy goal and it’s been pretty consistent in the way things have went recently. “I think we had most of the second half but it’s fine margins in the game when you’ve been on the wrong end of it. Any chance that fell to us today by and large we didn’t take them. "We created a lot of chances and were dominant in the second half but again Aberdeen go up the pitch and score. “It’s difficult, it seems to be the way it is just now, we’ve lost by a single goal in a game we had a lot of," Hammell said.
