There's no doubt that as long as the bank accounts are in the Black enough all is well for Tony.
I think the Kristo and pitule line did ok tonight however the Kristo line tried a pass too many on a few occasions in the first period.
I don't think I've seen this D corps have so many have such a nightmare as they did tonight.
I think Fox was way too positive about our showing tonight but I do agree that Ciampini looks half the player without Allen alongside him. We are crying out for a real sniper. Would be happy with an Ed Courtenay for sure.

I thought that was dross, nobody seemed interested. I noticed the 4th line the most tonight which means that Fox wasn’t too interested either if they were getting lots of ice time.
May be he is concentrating on the Challenge Cup and made them play poorly to get the bounce back.
Against my better judgement we will be there to see if that is the case, but the way I feel about this team and the ones before mean that I’m thinking whether it is worth the price of the season ticket next year.
I may need to start coming to watch the warm up again, just to see us score some goals.

I wasn't at the game, but we had 33 shots to their 14 and lost. That's got to be looked at.

Considering I saw a spaniel drug sniffer dog knocking about the arena tonight I’m stunned the lass at the front of the Cardiff block saw the game out to be honest

I thought she was doing what the Europeans tend to do where they have a cheerleader encouraging the fans.

I doubt Fox was sending out the 4th line because he isn’t interested, more like they were battling better/harder than the others. The top lines aren’t working. We need Allen back fit asap.

With a game against Coventry tonight, if we play like that it’ll be 2 losses on the trot and a bounce back in the challenge cup will be quite a hollow victory.

I was expecting us to beat Cardiff but we never really looked like we would. Very disappointed as I’m sure the team are but we need to do better.

She 100% was doing that but as she was so far removed from anyone else trying to create an atmosphere in that block and the manner which she was doing it, it presented more like someone lost on the way home from hacienda at 7am

Very disappointed with last night's result. What really concerned me was I saw so many similarities to last season's team. For large parts of the game many of the team seemed unmotivated and disinterested. Not one of the team was willing to stand up and try to make a difference.

I have issues with Steelers players whingeing so much at the officials at the end of the game. There were 21 men on the ice much more at fault and responsible for that loss, none of whom were in Black and white stripes.
