Manchester playing much better than last night Maybe the league could allow us to pick our opponents on the morning of every game? Give us a chance? They’d still lose ! 😂😂

Not really much point disecting it. Same stuff, different day. Playing so short is bad enough at any time but with this schedule it's just madness. If only we had an import signed and ready to go 3/4 games ago. I dont expect any big changes now, clearly the league is well gone but Id expect a few typical Panthers signings as we make some sort of attempt at the cups.

At least we’re consistent.
What a terrible season….again.
Words fail me. I’m not even angry anymore. Just expected it.

Win a cup by pure fluke and all’s well no changes needed.

I don’t think Panthers played any better or worse than any other game. That’s just the level. They played no worse than last night when we won and Manchester were terrible.
Tousignant was silent all night and avoided a severe pasting from Stringer.
Funniest moment was Tetlow offering to drop the gloves with Stringer in the third but Stringer just laughed and shock his head and saved Tetlow a morning at the dentist tomorrow.

I guess if people still turn up and put money into Mr Blacks pocket , then that’s really the only thing that matters at the end of the day.

That's just it.. people are starting not to turn up attendances are plummeting.. if this season ends in failure and next season another crap team is assembled and there's hardly any Saturday league games things will only get worse

I'd imagine there's a point where enough is enough, even for the most half-hearted fan. Nielson's teams won the 'lesser' trophies all the time, this would have kept the clappers happy.

Project that over the season and you’re talking an income difference between them of some £750k on game tickets alone. Add in cup games and that makes it a lot worse. Next years Panthers budget won’t be looking up to much once Black has crunched those figures !

Is black deluded enough to think he'll get good crowds watching a eihl basement team?

Is black deluded enough to think he'll get good crowds watching a eihl basement team? First thing I’d do is get rid of Doucet and chuck his wage and package into the player budget. Nothing against Doucet but an EIHL team does not need a director of hockey,get rid of him,chuck the £40k or whatever into getting half a dozen better quality top six imports and you’ve improved the team far more than a director of hockey ever will.

Have we lost yet? I wish the game thingies on EIHL website had some indication of current game time on them, have to wait for the opposition to score again to know how much longer we've got til we've lost. It was much better with 'pointstreak' , was it that? A clock I recall counted down. Since we went to this new idea (akin to CHL type - did they say) its all gone t*** up. I'd love to help as many others I know would but that (although could improve things) would be saying ' we can't do the job properly' which they can't.

Wallace, Gromit and a small rink budget, it’s hardly surprising surly? Black needs to get a grip of this .. if he actually cares that is One of two things need to happen and fans may not like the second one. 1) Attendances fall dramatically to kick start the club. 2) We continually lose and drop to the depths of the league, win nothing and something surely would come of that. If the CUP is actually played out and we can win those (at least) 3 more games in five. The season as far as Panthers are concerned is saved. People on FB are talking of us not making the play-offs but I'd not go that negative as much as I complain.

With all due respect I can’t see you guys making the final 4 of the play offs. Panthers will do well to finish 4th in the league or even 5th. Think we will finish 3rd at Cardiff.

Problem is on all fronts. The owner is not seemingly putting enough money into the club to make us competitive. The director of hockey has recruited really poorly the team recruited is poor. The coach has clearly been bought in as a cheap coach he hasn't got much experience his last team was mk on a shoestring budget. Probably part of the reason he was signed .
The team itself lacks ability or Identity. The defense is leaky the goalie can be almost unplayable but struggles with consistency. We lack scoring potential and when we lack mental strength to make comebacks. Lastly we are soft , no way should kelsall have been no choice on centre ice at home with no response from us .

I don’t want to sound disrespectful but would it be an idea to put Doucet into the general manager role, taking up that wage, then putting the freed up DOH wage into the squad?

I agree - I’ve followed Panthers for a fair while, but since I gave my season ticket up a couple of years or so ago - I’m one of those fans who thinks - ‘can I be arsed to put myself out?’ I’d decided to make an effort and pull in 3-4 league games before Christmas - ended up not buying tickets for any of them. Glad I didn’t - I suspect I’m not the only fan keeping their money in their pocket rather than paying to watch a sub-standard product on the ice.

Yes and on both occasions you guys deserved it no doubt about that, but Panthers have gone backwards for awhile now and I think the fans deserve better.

Think we will finish 3rd at Cardiff. Not top then... As you stated at the start of the season. The rest were 'pretenders', apparently.
