GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: CUP: Wed 8th Oct.

Panthers without "Chase Me" Pearson who has an upper body injury after tripping over his ego and colliding with the 6 mirrors he has in his dressing room.

Oh good another CC game

We could make Nottingham’s life quite difficult here with a win, making their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals quite tricky. Beating Cardiff 5-0 has helped their chances though.

McAdam to get this one.

3-2 Nottingham. I still don’t think we’ve found the right gear yet.

We need to get some sort of structure together for this game and hopefully show some bottle and put some intensity in their play,,,,

It's always a concern for me when we're constantly changing lines for reasons other than injuries.

It suggests the chemistry isn't right and/or Fox isn't getting out of players what he expected.

Players will struggle to build any chemistry if they're on different lines every game.

The trial period of the season should be over, things should be settling down now.

After a slow start I thought we had the edge in that period. For the first 5 mins though we struggled to clear our zone and I thought they’d profit.
