The Nottingham culture does what exactly? You've been watching the team long enough, I'll let you fill in the blanks 😉 If you believe the culture of the club is the reason why we’ve struggled and have ended up languished in last place then I think you’re being unfair. The team have been through something catastrophic and unfortunately it has affected the professional relationship between them all. Nothing is normal for the team, what we expect from the coaches, in terms of motivation and leadership, doesn’t seem to be there when you watch them on the bench. I know your opinions on the club, as well as how long you’ve been watching hockey. Surely you can see that nothing is normal, there have been so many difficulties for the club to navigate. The club’s culture isn’t the cause of all of this

Rok just doesn't have any middle ground. He's either outstanding or he is terrible. And when he's terrible he's really bloody aweful. The times he is outstanding are few and far between. When you then add in that we had arguably the worst no2 import i've seen since the trend began we were never really going to achieve a lot. To cap off the whole netminding farce we then had them being rotated out after having their best games. You'd be forgiven tonight for thinking Dundee had their number 1 import in and we had our Brit back up in. Of course the D is weaker without Caruso and Neill. Then so much of what is wrong defencovely is down to team defence and forwards not picking up players. I heard a while ago that JP isn't much pf a coach regards systems etc. He's more of an engagement and team spirit guy. I think that may ring true. I will forever be greatful for them all this season, including JP, but that is a good group of D with some good forwards too. Perhaps the problem with the defence is the lack of a plan? Yet again we find ourselves with some very good players reduced to being written off once playing here. It's the Nottingham culture ! Panthers could turn Cale Makar into a dud! The Nottingham culture does what exactly?

Yep. Never liked him either but he’s better than Rok We’d be higher up in the league if Carr was in net for us. 78% save percentage for Rok tonight

Two soft goals conceded by us. McGurty is not the answer to replacing Neill as point man on the 1st PP unit either
Our 1st line are flying again

But missing caruso, neill, Nielson Listening to the interview that BBC Nottingham did with Paredes after the Fife game, you get some insight from him with regards the injuries. Sounds as though Neill will be out for a while… www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hj741w

Straw poll: have I missed something or is a poster posting about the number of times they've been banned from the form for their behaviour, and saying they've had to be banned again recently, the best way to prove they're just here as a hockey fan? I think I've entered the Twilight Zone Sorry guys there's much to be said about the game, the schedule, reinforcements etc but I'm out. Have a good one people. Now to be an honorary Flames fan for the next 24hrs! Hoping for a Flames shut out and statement win 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 Can see steelers running away with it 4/5-1 .. Simms will whip all the locals up in a frenzy and they'll be too hot for the flames .. Is it not a neutral M/C for the cup final?

So he normally commutes from Dundee to Nottingham every weekend for our games? No wonder things have gone even further downhill since Pacha took over. What’s his record in two years…7th and currently 10th in the league,didn’t make POFW weekend last year and may not even make the play offs at all this year is it ? That’s some going that ! 🙄 We did make POFW last season. It was season 21/22 that we didn’t. I do think it’s a bit strange if he is living in Dundee, how is he supposed to oversee the running of the club?

No he’s not, he’s literally in the next box from me as the game is beginning. yes I stand corrected DMS, I saw him to. He’s not usually around mid week as obviously lives in Dundee, you never know he might go up on the bus with them on Friday. So he normally commutes from Dundee to Nottingham every weekend for our games?

Also, I’ve mentioned on here we needed Rok to come up big in the run-in and unfortunately tonight he didn’t keep us in it

Very, very disappointing tonight. Severely missed Caruso and Neill at the back if only to take some pressure off the other dmen. We looked and played as though it was our 3rd game in 4 nights.
Others have mentioned the line combinations and how ineffective they were, which I’d have to agree with. We were so poor and disjointed in transition.
It’s a real shame we’ve not managed to capitalise tonight, the team and club deserves something positive out of this season. It’s not over yet but we have to win on Friday and it needs to be in regulation

I'd say that this game is our last stand Agreed, this is a must win and it needs to be in regulation as well

This game is now massive, I'm sure we'll get behind them as we have been doing. Why is this game on Tuesday, the Darts is Thursday, do they need Wednesday to set it up? Massive game, no doubt the fans will be behind them like you say. As a season ticket holder, I’d have no issue if the club decided to put discounts on for midweek games. It would be great if we could try and get regular mid week attendances similar to what we had last week.

They needed less than 20 seconds of PP. Gutting. However we could really do with a regulation win over the Mel Gibsons. Dundee are the target right now, need to get a better result than them tonight

1-1, good work on our goal from the face-off, then a defensive turnover and nice finish for them. Masters of our own downfall with their goal

Looking at the remaining fixtures I feel we’re in must win territory now. Hopefully the boys can pick it up after yesterdays flat performance

Anderson back but Neill out. At least that should improve the goals against then,as once again last night Neill was on the ice for another 4 goals conceded. Could have been worse but he was in the pen box for one of the others. He’s currently sitting comfortably near the very top of the worst plus/minus stats in the whole league with a shocking minus 20. Still behind a league leading Lemay though who has a mind numbingly bad minus 25. 🙄 I have to agree with you, of late I’ve noticed he’s been a bit suspect defensively, Cardiff’s 3rd goal yesterday was prime example. Neill tried to keep the puck towards the corner behind the goal then Cardiffs forecheck forced him to turnover the puck and it’s a quick goal to make it 3-1. He does play a lot of minutes though, in all situations, so it could be taking it’s toll
