I'll be happy with anything more than a Zero point weekend.

Sadly I can’t see anything but a 4 point weekend for the giants.

If Vallerand and Latal are both fit we stand a decent chance of getting a result.

Our form recently has been fairly poor, but although Belfast are on a fantastic run they have ridden their luck in a few games (we did the same during our good run).

Belfast are clear title favourites now, but I certainly wouldn't count us out. I think it was probably the Ben Simon season when Cardiff went on a 20+ game winning streak including demolishing us at Sheffield Arena. After that night I think we all thought the title was going to Cardiff, but we managed to go down to Wales and edge a victory and that was the catalyst for a league title win.

Still a lot of hockey to play, starting with tonight.

Regards

Belfast name the full 19.

Beskorowany starts.

Patrick Mullen is not yet available and youngsters Kell Beattie & Mack Stewart don’t make the cut.

ASD a big miss although again his form has still not got up to speed post injury and doesn't look to be able to play as physical as he normally does.

Almost surprised to see Armstrong and Dowd together again, they have struggled defensively recently but added to Feldner maybe Fox is trying to create as big a crash bang line as he can from what he has available.

Recent form suggests a loss by three goals to me, but can the Steelers show some mettle and keep it close or take the unexpected win?
I reckon we will lose tonight, and if so will go on to lose tomorrow too.
My heart is saying let's go Steelers let's slay the Wella Giants!🤜🧡🍊

So ASD is injured or just scratched?

Looked OK on Wednesday night, OK so it was more of a skate around than a proper training session, but seemed fine.

I'm OK with Mosey on D though.

Actually prefer him there tbh.
