We need 6 points but would it really end our season if we didn't? Probably not it might make it more difficult but unless your suggesting teams like Cardiff and Sheffield will go the season almost unbeaten then it's not a season ender especially less than a month into the season

Tough weekend. The Wiikman/Pacl duo should come in very handy here, should have Schultz back too which will be a huge boost.
I feel we'll take 4 or 5 points with the loss coming in Dundee. Fife & Dundee improved a lot, quality teams and they're getting their wheels rolling. Clan are good but defense is a bit shaky and Zajkowski hasn't got any fans so i'd assume he's a very iffy netminder.
I'll be disappointed with anything less than 4 but delighted with 4 or more.

a very tough weekend, Dundee steamrollered us last year and we were poor against Fife. 3 in 3 nights at the start of the season, a long drive on Friday it's going to be a very hard weekend.

So hard to tell this early in the season, but if we cough up the puck we will struggle as I just don't see goals in our team.

So they are travelling on the Friday, that's great, I'm guessing that they didn't learn their lesson from last season. In the Play Off Quarter Final 2nd Leg against Belfast last season, they travelled the day before and they had one of their best results of the season. |

If it were my team I'd fly them up to Edinburgh late Thursday and get a coach to Dundee. But that's just how I'd do things.

You never know they may well read all the above and prove us wrong. Except for one cup match I can remember I dont think the team have ever travelled to Scotland the day before. I'll gladly eat humble pie if they go tomorrow which I hope they do because last year was a nightmare from start to finish. Roadworks and broken buses.

Nice to see the usual jumping to conclusions..
I'd expect them to be going up tomorrow afternoon. Give them a nights rest before heading to Dundee. They went a Day early to France which was obviously Pre-Season, would be surprised if they treat this weekend with any less respect.

That's what fans would expect too,to go early,but with the usual lack of information from Panthers you can't blame people jumping to conclusions. They treated the same triple header with little respect last season ! Once they read the cage there will be something on the O/S later. Lol |

To quote an oft used phrase, you cant win the league in September/October/December etc but you can certainly go along way to losing it and if not losing it making it VERY difficult for yourself when you need wins later in the season...
Wins against what is generally perceived as easier opposition (no disrespect to those teams but they end up at the bottom of the league for a reason) is essential. A couple of seasons ago when again we had a poor team, we still went on to win our own conference, it was those losses against the likes of fife and Dundee that cost us at the end...

Lol But you can easily turn it against people jumping to conclusions for expecting all the details after the club is known to not share such details. If they end up travelling on the day then by all means, moan till your hearts content but it's a tad too early at the moment but again, as you suggested, it's the communication issue. Corey spoke about the travelling in the past, specifically Belfast and how they've gone through all options. Ferry a day early, flight a day early, ferry overnight to arrive on the day, flight on the day.. He claimed that there was no correct thing to do because there'd never been a pattern which saw the team win when travelling a day early. Not that it should mean we always travel on the day to cut costs, as i feel we should always travel a day early to anywhere outside of England, including Cardiff when possible. Just thought i'd add that in there. |

But I've NEVER heard one saying "we lost because we went a day early"! |

But ultimately we should wait to see if they do travel tomorrow or not. They always tweet out thrilling shots of players putting kit bags on coaches so we're bound to know.
Personally I'd think as long as you left enough time at the Scottish end for resting or whatever, travelling on the day shouldn't be too much of an issue. If you're arriving 2 minutes before warm up it's another matter.

I would argue in a professional sports set up the coach/manager should judge the mood & fitness/energy of the players & then decide what travel/accommodation fits best.
Sometimes it's good to get them angry & rock up at the last min. Others times not so.
