GAME THREAD: Steelers v Flyers: Sat.

[MLL79]

PS - sat in 214 (normally a 207-er) - is the arena sound bad in this corner or something as it was really difficult hearing any announcements etc.?

Not a particularly impressive performance, but it's a win and that is what's needed right now.

Unfortunately all our rivals also won, so we're really going to have to impress to make up ground.

Fox still doesn't seem to have a clue with his lines, constantly chopping and changing. For all his undoubted qualities, Dowd is struggling at faceoffs, so why send him out on the crucial 4 on 4.

How are we intending to use Watling? Currently he seems to be a winger, but if we're going to progress he needs to be a top line centre. If he's not looking up to it, then it's a poor decision to bring him back.

For me the next run of fixtures determines our title challenge. 5 away games, but with the recent failures we now need to pick up a minimum of 8 points, including 2 wins in Belfast.

As things stand, I see us as a 4th place team.

Sadly, and through very gritted teeth, that’s a very real probability on the standings… eek
