A massive pushback is needed. Some players need to prove points, as well as score some. If we turn up like we have been doing all season, it could well be a pointless weekend against Fife.
Pointless in terms of league points, but also pointless if the management don't learn from it.
We're lacking any appearance of being a team, no bite, no cohesion, unable to cope with a forechecking team, & not being allowed space to play Fox's ideal game.
Mid table 4th/5th finish is coming our way on the season so far. We've only looked dominant over Glasgow, who offered very little offence and even less defence.
I'm fed up of both, "D man shoot it round the boards, and in theory someone will be there" and the "get past the red line and fire it in, then hope".
I may be old and grumpy, but would Blazer's team be run out of their own rink like we were?
Time to push back, or start booking return flights for some.

The trouble I have with this team is that it has a big soft underbelly... Nobody willing to get dirty and up in the oppositions face and for me thats a Fox trait ive never liked... its becoming very tiresome to watch...

Around 600 miles of travelling for Fife with 2 x bus journeys to and from Sheffield. It’s advantage Steelers on the travel front.
Will this Steelers team show what it’s about with a strong performance?
2 points is almost a must already, with only 3 won out of a possible 6.
Lose this one and the Ice Line will make interesting listening. Win, and will the positives be focused on instead?

The ice line will have excuses .There will be no criticism , Number one rule is protect the business.
The presenters are too close to tell it as it is.
Personally I think a win tonight , however narrow , will save them and last night will be soon forgotten
