Another game short benched. Another narrow loss to a poor team. The org don't care. Starting to feel sorry for our players. But the fans, 5000 plus, still pour through the doors week after week and season tickets are up year on year, so Black will be counting the ££s and we will probably get a few players in to try and snatch the Continental Cup, which quite frankly would annoy me if we won it! This club is a absolute disgrace and amateur, taking the fans for granted, this shambles would not be tolerated or allowed to happen in Cardiff and Sheffield, hence why they will battle it out for the league title. Both of those organisations have a winning mentality and appear to spend within budget to put the best team on the ice. Most questioned the recruitment this year and look at the mess we are in, god knows what our league position will be after the Xmas period, where we will no doubt fall even further behind. I would actually laugh if Braehead and Panthers were fighting to avoid the wooden spoon at the end of the season, maybe then Black will sit up and get this club sorted from the obvious decline. |

I'm just so confused why there was so much emphasis put on the Continental Cup with such a short sighted view that it had to be won this year... completely forgetting that it's possible to keep qualifying for next year. Even if that is to defend the title or try and win it again!
I know a lot may say (especially at the club) that the CC isn't the main aim but it certainly appears to be that players are being held back for CC fitness. Any bets that Dimmen & Waugh will reappear around mid-Jan?
It's exactly the same short-sightedness and flippancy that the EIHL has towards Team GB, not realising the league reputation & world standing is effected by the performance of GB.
P.S.
Don't forget to fill your stockings with Merchandise today!

Shaggy that team who scored a own goal will still be within a chance of fighting for the title way way after the new year... panthers on the other hand !! No panthers fan is in any position to laugh at others ! Well, pardon me for trying to add a little levity to the situation... anyway, thought you'd "lost interest" and were "past caring"? Say one thing, do another... isn't that what the Panthers management get accused of?  |

So long as the fans have it drilled into them that it's more important to hate the Steelers more than they love the Panthers they will carry on business as usual. |

Listening to the latest 'drivel' from our esteemed Coach following on from another defeat, there's something that puzzles me.
Coach says, "It was a long day and it'll be another long day today" these sentiments were echoed by the Assistant Coach (Clarke) - wow he's learning quickly. Why was it a long day? Short bus hop to Birmingham (assuming they flew from there) and a 50 minute plane ride. It's hardly a long day, is it? Or (seeing as the team stopped overnight in Belfast), does he man it was a long night!!

Looking at the actual game, one thin that jumped out at me was that we were out shot 2-1. You're always going to struggle to win games like that.
One small glimmer of light in all this mess is Jeff Brown. He has really impressed me recently. I'll hold my hands up and day i was wrong. A few weeks ago i wasnt hos biggest fan but he is now a guy i would look to be keeping and building from.

Could be worse... at least we didn't manage to score 3 goals and still lose 3-2... (as the Rusties managed down at Cardiff tonight, scoring an own goal... oops!  ). Yeah, about that own goal thing... |
