I decided to give the webcast another go. Better than last year, but still the worst I've seen due to the camera angles.

Of the new forwards Tait again caught the eye and was comfortably the most effective. Most of the others I didn't really notice, but hopefully they're still feeling their way in to our league.

Biggest concern for me was face offs, it certainly felt like Manchester won at least 60% and mainly quite cleanly. Something we need to improve a lot if we're going to compete with the best in our league.

I thought Tremblay and that 4th line did very well tonight. He may not have the fancy CV, but Tremblay is proving to be a very consistent performer.

A 6 or 7 out of 10 tonight for the team. Manchester is a difficult place to play, so good to keep the unbeaten run going.

Regards

Agreed an improvement this year. At least a few new camera angles but only at one end. The sole commentator was really boring and needs some instruction. Agreed too about face offs and Tait. What has happened to Tansey? I’m pretty sure I didn’t see him. Macadam was OK but I feel Grreenfield might have done better at both.goals.
