Is it just me or is our shot selection questionable? We put a lot of rubber on the net but seem to convert only a fraction into actual goals compared with other teams? Or is that just the way it feels? Maybe a stato can disavow me of this feeling but that's what it feels like. Am I wrong? Would definitely like to see more driving of the net for follow ups. Almost like we're trying to be too cute and don't have it in us? We have so many proven scorers in the league but this year their conversion rate seems worse. Or am I off base and it's just the feeling I'm getting from watching? Anyone else get that feeling?? I’ll update tomorrow, but last I looked, Panthers shooting percentage was the worst in the league. Round about 8%, best is 12 ish. I'd be surprised if we made it to half of that tonight from what I saw! But hey, whatever it was it was better than yesterday's 0% right?

There's absolutely no way Dubeau should be getting beaten like that for the gwg. Absolutely shocking positioning. Of course if our forwards could hit a cows arse with a banjo it wouldn't matter as much!

If Manchester hold on to the lead they currently have then Panthers slip to 7th.

It's because his hockey is so cerebral, or something. He could be ill or injured of course, but no one would sit Welychka out, even that genius. He could be… but in this instance i wouldn’t say that is the case!

I did not rate Corey as a coach the first time. I was glad when he left. He won trophies, but that was probably more to do with the players than his coaching. Look at the Grand Slam season. David Ling ran the pp. Never had a pp like it since. Perhaps Corey should watch how Ling controlled the pp and implement it. We were No 1 for the pp that year.
The play is just awful, so many misplaced passes. Nothing has changed since the last time he was here. We should have settled lines by now, but no. I am sure he puts the names in a hat before the game and see what he draws out to make the line combinations.
The interviews given by both Corey and Strachen are cringeworthy. Have not got a clue between them.
Corey needs to select a No 1 netminder.
We have lost probably our best player Welychka to Germany. Shame we couldn't export some of the others, including Corey and Strachen instead.
Steelers fans need not worry next Saturday. We will get then back in the the title race.

Can I ask that when we sign players for next season. We do not comment at all, wait till the team get onto the ice.

Surprisingly NOT from the PP but 5/5 Fife level it up to save our blushes?
Manchester need a PP themselves now because they have done well on it tonight. Us? - pp's enough but nah , shots - you need 10 to pop one in. Was the owner of BOTH teams there to clap along, who was he clapping? lol

Whilst I dont think we'll end up finishing outside the top 8 it could get very tight with the run of fixtures we have coming up.
Next 5.
Sheffield H Cardiff A Belfast H Belfast A Cardiff H
The teams below of course will drop points but if we lose all 5 they will get very close.

Typical Panthers performance, lots of possession, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, shoot into the goalie’s chest or miss and it’s cleared. Dubeau’s positioning for the gwg was awful, there was a gap the size of a doorway between him and the post just inviting the puck to go through it.

Are we bothered to enter the play-offs at this rate?

Graham 43.3 % 13 points from 30 Neilson 42.8 % 18 points from 42 Some others: Goals for average per game: GG = 2.87, CN = 2.71 (offensive strides...) Goals against average per game: GG = 3.67, CN = 3.38 (an improvement!)

Graham 43.3 % 13 points from 30 Neilson 42.8 % 18 points from 42 So what’s your point? Should we have not sacked GG even though that’s something you were begging for or are you somehow trying to lay this at Neilson’s door, because I personally don’t see any coach getting much more out of this team than Neilson has done and I think it’s a tad harsh on him considering he’s working with a squad that is one of the worst we’ve ever had and it was signed by a different coach with a completely different style.

"Unfortunately" I am away in New Zealand and can only look at comments. One post on twitter was that we had 90 shots over two matches and scored one goal. On thinks that perhaps that is pretty well all a coach can do to create chances. If players cannot convert - I suggest it is a lack in the finishing of the players. Open to debate.

I’ll say it again, we should have stuck with Graham, he wasn’t given enough time. All the good work and positivity the club created over the summer has been undone and we’ll start another rebuilding process this coming summer…

All the good work and positivity the club created over the summer has been undone and we’ll start another rebuilding process this coming summer… The players really disliked him though and had stopped playing for him,I mean clearly not much has changed results wise but I feel the players are putting in more effort...they just don't click as a team together.

Just pointing out the stats to make a comparison, which is something that’s done regularly by various people on here. Sorry if that is not allowed or you don’t like the results but it’s not my fault it doesn’t show what you’d like it to. For further comparison,with the roster changes one could argue Corey has a better team now than GG had,plus he’s got an assistant coach and and he’s certainly had a full roster most games where as under GG the team had a fair few injuries. All in all,you would have expected results to improve but they’ve somehow got even worse. That says to me that Corey isn’t the coach some people would have you believe.
