Guildford and Cardiff are the teams we really need help from with them both reversing fixtures with Glasgow and Coventry at the weekend. Guildford worry me to be honest.
Still expect Fife and Dundee to contrive 2 or 3 points each.
3 points still remains enough for us at this point.

What a night for Panthers, the results would have filtered through to the guys and now its simple we've got to pick up 4pts and with a little more luck we we CAN make the playoffs however when have Panthers done things the easy way?
I've been listening to this song for the past few hours and I think this sums up the panthers season and quite fitting no matter happens, We've gave it everything this season whatever happens.

I still say we're done, I can't see Guildford doing enough for us.

They’re still in with a chance & need to win their remaining two games. Still, could be worse.

Dundee score 2 "in game" PSs last night, in their 6-3 defeat. Both conceded by the same player, Donaghey. When was the last time a team scored 2 such goals in a game?

Lots of possibilities, but, simplest way to look at it is Panthers need 3 points from the weekend (and at least 1 on Saturday) to have any chance at all. 4 points would be ideal. 2 points is not enough in any scenario. A regulation loss in Manchester Saturday and it's season over.
At least one point on Saturday and we're still in it. ...Unless Coventry and Glasgow both win (someone has to win the Dundee Fife game on Saturday, so that takes them out of it, I think), in which case we're done.
3 might be enough, if either Fife or Glasgow go pointless and Coventry get no more than 1 over the weekend.
My head hurts...

Nottingham simply have to focus on winning both games although I’m sure the players will be well aware of the permutations. That long losing streak & the blown leads in games have been a dagger to the playoff aspirations.

It's the games where we've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory that have cost. The odd point here and there.

Different coach, different players…no change really.

My head hurts... It's bonkers. If we only get a point Saturday we could still be in it, but Clan would also only need a point to be clear of us. Wouldn't even need a win.

Different coach, different players…no change really. Not sure I agree there. 2019-20, Panthers were the league's form team before it all went lockdown. Last season was awful, I agree, this season has been a roller-coaster for all the wrong reasons. Both are atypical.

Different coach, different players…no change really. I don't think it's fair to tarnish this years team with that brush personally, as much as I agree about previous seasons. This years team are on 46 points...the playoff cut off last season was 35 points and there's a possibility that every team gets over 50 points which is great for the league, and shows how competitive it's been this year. We know the issues we've had and the reasons why, then you factor in injuries (we've had 2 games all season with a full squad available) and those injuries haven't stopped. Genuinely think if we had the Lunjso, Michaud and Neilson line fit and playing for these last few months, we'd have been safely over the line by now. The ever persistent injuries have caused huge disruption to the lines. Robinson departing late in the day wasn't ideal. The losing streak was a bad period, nobody can dispute that and ultimately, if they don't make it, then that will be the reason why. This season will always been remembered for firstly, Adam Johnson's memory, but secondly it will be the "what could have been" year. 6/7 in the league before the incident, that one loss being close to a comeback in game 1. Could we have challenged or even won the league? Maybe, maybe not, but the signs were good and nobody will be able to definitely say what would have happened. I just think these guys have battled and battled against everything thrown at them this season and to still be in with a chance at qualifying for the playoffs going into the last weekend of the season is, quite frankly, remarkable.

Quietly, I'd not realised (as I've not been looking at the CC stats at all) but Steelers' back up goalie, Anthony Morrone, is now played 14, won 14, this year. 8 in the Cup, 6 in the league. If I were him, I'd be a bit miffed they didn't give him the nod in the CC final, given as he got 8 wins out of 8 starts before that.

Given we play first on Sunday, then it would be nice to go into that game still with something to play for. That should mean a special atmosphere in the Motorpoint, if nothing else.

In a way it's going to be weird because if we are still in it, the atmosphere will be tense and should we win, it'll still be tense because the other games will still be on. Should we be out of it come Sunday then in a way the tension will be gone and it'll more of a thank you game where we show the appreciation that the players deserve.

Edit 2 - now it is 1-1.
