GAME THREAD: Storm v Steelers; Jan 1st

[Bryan]

That was a truly awful period. The other night we seemed the better team for much of the game. Not so tonight.

[Bryan]

Faceoffs got even worse in that period it is now 30 to 10. It’s hard to believe a decent team can be so bad.

Result

Storm 3-0 Steelers.

We played crap.

[Bryan]

At least 3 centres badly needed. Get scouting.

Not seen the game,,,but result no big suprise as storm showed us the other night they were better than us and tonight did the same again with greenfield in nets this time. So we know the standard now of the team and cannot expect them to beat better opposition on a regular basis...but this is better for league in general as no team running away with title this season, just the overall standard of league poor , but that is something not new in respect that the eihl standard has got worse as years have gone on.,,, only have to look back at the players we used to have on rosters years gone by,,,, but at least we still have hockey to go and watch ,,,,,

That was bad. I thought we would bounce back and beat Storm this evening. Terrible performance

[Bryan]

I hope the person, probably a Steeler supporter who was hit by a puck is OK and well looked after. I understand they were taken away in a wheelchair. I can’t understand why there isn’t netting coming around that corner.

It all appears to be unraveling. We’ve not played well for weeks, but have still managed to scrape through games with a win.

These two losses aren’t a surprise at all to me. Thing is, I’m not sure without at least two more quality changes we have the ability to improve enough to mount a proper sustained title challenge.

I would agree smbmetal, at least 2 but 3 if it were possible and move Tansley back to D.
I don't know what to say about the coaching, recuritment and team management as we are being out coached most weeks.
