We let Swindlehurst go,bring in two brand new D men for their first games and what does Corey do with the only one real solid partnership we have had all season of Schmidt and Dimmen ?
He splits it up ! And so tonight we basically have a virtually brand new defence for a game we must win to at least even remotely stay in the title race. If Dimmen wasn't injured,it was the wrong call.
Night night boys,our title race is over early again,roll on the challenge cup and play offs !

We are missing Dimmen,wrong call by Corey I'm afraid. Should have sat Macdonald or Janssen tonight. We could have played the 21 on display tonight plus Dimmen and it would have made sod all difference! I don't get this clamour for having a 'full bench' surely it's quality over quantity? The only thing that may have helped would have been playing Wiikman AND Madalora!! Oh and the second 'goal' of ours was never a goal in a month of Fridays! At least with all these bodies available some will be happy and at least Corey is able to play his favourite game of 'bingo' lines to greater effect! Edit: Swindlehurst would have made no difference either!

Got what we deserved I'm afraid. Very shaky at the back and created virtually nothing going forward without Linger.

If Dimmen wasn't injured,it was the wrong call. Maybe they're easing him back in, same with Miika? Let's be honest, if he plays those two and they come out of it re-injured, again, he'd get called blind for that too, considering we'd have spares sat in the stands. None of us know the ins and outs of that, where either of them are at health-wise. Anyway, 6 against is obviously not a good sign, but any early thoughts on the new guys?

Oh and did I mention back-check.

Latest OS mentions Dimmen was hurt in Coventry and that's why he was scratched.

Because he doesn't offer a lot in certain games......what did he do tonight ? As soon as we went behind he hardly saw the ice,which is exactly what happens every time we have to chase a goal.
And basically,who else would you drop ? We are not scoring many goals,or even creating many good chances,therefore your defence has to be as solid as possible otherwise you are in trouble !

Well - people seem to forget that Cardiff & Steelers have to play each other twice and they'll both drop points against teams lower in the league... Not to mention we still have to play them both twice. Yes, tonight was poor, but you can't expect us to win every game? It's not over yet, we're not out of it.

And we will still be between 8 and 10 points off top. In the best case it's 4 behind Cardiff and 8 behind Steelers with 2 games in hand. Even in that instance u believe we'll need to win every remaining game to stand a chance.

We've lost our most creative player. Injuries to key players are still dogging the team. There's been no consistency since the first two months of the season. Neilson still refuses to play settled lines with a little over a month left before the current debacle ends. Cardiff in particular seem to be a level above the competition. Your optimism is commendable Titch but realistically we've been out of it for some time.

Disappointing. Had hoped for better with two new DMen.

Poor lazy recruitment, poor coaching, poor management, no ambition. The league title went at Christmas like it does every year. God bless anyone who thinks otherwise, I used to be like you, but look at it objectively, we haven't even seemed interested in winning the league for the past few seasons. Breahead are the same, it's just a culture. Massive changes needed at all levels. I hope black sells up.

I don't expect us to win every game but we NEED to win every game if we were to win but we are too inconsistent to get a good enough run going so the league is gone as we can't be relying on other teams results constantly when we play poor. Hopefully we'll lift at least one trophy but it won't be the league.

Cams not in the side to score goals or to set goals up. He knows his role & he is very good at it. He's not going to play 20 minuets a night his type of player does not do that. He's hear to protect the team stick up for our guys, without him last night Llyod Keefe & Vandermeer would of caused massive problems. Dropping cam would be criminal. When dimmens fit id leave Lawrence out he's not offering a lot

Didn't see the webcast is CN still persisting with Pick & mix? for me Lawrence seems to get far to many mins, in the Clan just gone ha was on PK 5 on 3, didn't think he did anything like that last season?
Still think it's the coaches making a pigs ear of this season, every time Panthers get a bit of momentum and look like getting with an outside chance of the league they blow it.
ps The eternal optimises are getting less and less

Many things wrong with last night but swapping goalies was the biggest mistake.
Mikka was great on Wednesday but if he isn't fit to play regular then stick with Madalora. If Mikka was fit he should be playing. Stick with the in form guy. Mikka is Deffinaitly the better nettie. That may all sound a bit contradictory but I think when Madalora plays regular he seems pretty solid. His worst performances seem to come after sitting the previous game.
Rotating goalies does not work!
If we have to play both then I'd have liked to see Mikka play Weds & Friday(Preferably Sunday too but if he couldn't do 3 in 5 then let Madalora have the "easier" home game). Then let Madalora have the cup games giving Mikka rest up to the Cardiff game.
There has been, and still is my 15 year old self thinking/dreaming there is a chance we can still do it inside. The reality is the chances are now slim to non. It would have to be the perfect storm for it to happen. I just don't see Corey being able to do his bit and stear the ship through it.
