The starting netminder is the big decision for this game considering we have Cardiff on Saturday and Galbraith has just played 3 in a week after time off injured.
I’d play Garnett on Saturday as I feel we will have enough to get the win even taking into consideration Garnett’s inconsistency. He’s good enough to win us games but at times he can let in a few soft ones and put us out of a game.
I’d be happier Galbraith playing in Cardiff as he’s more consistent and rarely concedes more than 2 so will keep us competitive in that game.
Whilst the recent games don’t mask December we have shown battling qualities and increasing confidence, the 6 goals against MK will help that even more should see us get the win here.

Totally agree re the NM situation. We'll be at full strength in this one and Storm are missing one import (Rosehill) at least. Think we'll take this by a couple, no injuries would be nice too.

that is full strength minus an import forward...
Im fed up with the perceived penny pinching in Nottingham so will not be going in protest, i know in the scheme of things the club dont care but in a nutshell there lies the problem...

Of course. Full strength with the players we have available. The forward lines have looked better without Shalla. Scored goals and won games since he left. However, we should be signing at least one new import next week. I said this in another thread. We can sign a player/players on a 3 month visa next Tuesday which will take them to the day after POFW. Pay them £3k a month and they won’t pay tax. Get him/them here in time for the Belfast double header.

It is frustrating we don't have a full quota of useable outskating imports. I am of the opinion we should have been carrying a spare already so shouldn't be playing short now. Shalla was gassed for good reason. It sent a message, we have seen a reaction and as Yotes said(I think it was) nobody is argueably as effective as Shalla was of late. Having said that I think it is the correct thing for all involved to sign on/after Tuesday at tgis point. The player has an easier visa process to go through & earns more withoug paying tax. At the same time we are likely to get a better quality player.

Meanwhile other teams just sign players. The league might be taken away from us tomorrow night. Just so the club can save a few quid.

It will be because of the usual Panthers December slump. Same as most of the past 7-8 seasons. The penny pinching won’t stop until that grey haired loud mouthed old fart has gone.

I don't care what other teams are doing. The fact that season after season, continuously, comes December we seem to not being able to win matches, is a MAJOR turn off. There's definitely a (senior) management problem here, as the same problem keeps occurring. We have a great team, yet we're so predictably awful post November. Looking at the coming fixtures, we'd be lucky to finish top 4 this season. Sad.

The thing that’s interesting with this is that Black and Moran will have pound signs in their eyes thinking how amazing it is that they’re maximising revenue from every single fan. The thing they don’t account for is how many fans this puts off. I’ve spoken to many very long term fans who fell out of love with it because of exactly this. So whilst they might get an extra few quid out of some “customers”, they’ve lost a load of paying fans... Very old fashioned.

Panthers win, Billingsley.
Sounds like a lucky one to win it.

Had more fun watching paint dry! The team are way off competing for anything at the moment. Need at least two new players to kickstart the team, like the impact Quick and McDonald gave us, otherwise it’ll be a boring end to the season.
Felt the match was very flat, no atmosphere and why oh why do we continue to dump and chase, I think on every dump and chase we did, they came out with possession. That’s just poor to me and leads me to conclude that Corey is out of ideas, a decent coach would be fuming to see his team do that, handing possession and momentum to the opposition.
No doubt we will claim the win, but changes are needed urgently to stay in touch, Cardiff are not unbeatable but it’ll take a massive turnaround to get this team going.

First period was decent the second and third were flat. We had ample chances to wrap it up well before going to overtime.
Still a win is a win and that’s what matters

Good first period...then quite poor in the 2nd and 3rd. We were passing the well but then started dumping it in rather than putting any passes together.
When Storm scored that seemed to wake us up from our slumber and started to look dangerous again.
Massive slice of luck with the winner but funny what happens when you actually shoot!

Decent first, shocking second and third. Only woke up when the Storm hit their inevitable third. Lucky to take it to overtime, and lucky to win it. Where are the new signings then? We bloody need them.

I thought that was poor game management from Corey personally. In the first we were fluent in transition passing the puck to tape, we were aggressive on the forecheck and we built a good lead and were much the better team.
In the second and third Storm were much better than us and derserved to win imo, it was as if Corey had told them to play the complete opposite way, we dumped the puck, trying to change lines as quickly as possible and did nothing with our time on the puck. I understand why he did it bearing in mind that we play Devils tomorrow and he wants to keep them fresh but you can’t rely on a 2 goal lead for 2 periods, it’s a very arrogant move and you can never afford to sit off teams in this league now.
But we got the luck in overtime and got the win, we move on to the real test tomorrow now.
