GAME THREAD: Sheffield Steelers v Manchester Storm Sunday, 23rd October 4:00pm

[Jayboy]

The second pointless Challenge Cup game of the weekend.. this time against bottom of the group the Storm...

[smbmetal]

Have we done with CC group games after this one? Really way too many fixtures.

Will DeLuca get a shout out?

4-2 Steelers.

The CC really is farcical.

Surely the powers that be could think up a better format than this?

Think it suits the Scottish clubs especially as it helps their travel - and I'd rather have a farcical cup than a farcical conference-based league. Would be good to get it wrapped up in Autumn tho (an Autumn Cup type thing maybe).

DeLuca to get a goal and man-of-the-match applause - hopefully on the losing team as Foxy will have stopped pratting around with rolling forward and defense lines.

Can’t find this game in the live streaming web site. Is there some reason for this does anyone know?

Results are difficult to predict in this league. Manchester beating Dundee and Fife beating Coventry last night. Those results seem to make our loss to Dundee and thrashing of Fife look curious if you think predicting results is straight forward.

I've gone for a win in regulation but who knows?

We're acknowledging DeLuca's return on FB and the Website. I don't expect any mention pre game but crowd reaction will be interesting.

I hear that we will not have either Mclaughlin or Warburton today, with a backup pulled from a lower league team (sorry don't have details). We really should have had one of those two guys in to give Greenfield a rest and them some more experience.

[SteelerBlade]

Tom Pering & Joe Sewell in charge this evening, Ryan Fraley & Nathan Carmichael on the lines.

[SteelerBlade]

Only change to the lineup is Lewis King in as backup instead of Warburton.

Still without Mosey, Östlund & Piché.

Connolly named as D again.
