Saturday's defeat at Dungannon Swifts summed up Glenavon's season so far, but goalkeeper Rory Brown believes the season has been a positive one to date.
The Lurgan Blues have shown they have all the qualities to mix it with the big boys, but have unfortunately tripped up when least expected.
Brown, who committed his long-term future to Mourneview Park signing a five-year deal at the weekend, was one of the few player to come out of Saturday's defeat at Stangmore Park with any credit from manager Gary Hamilton.
