Wonder what makes some teams think, that a player not good enough for their roster is suddenly an upgrade for another?

It's a very bizarre move to release the guy you made captain, and for him then to be snapped up by a rival. Rizzi certainly didn't appear to be pulling up any trees in Dundee.
Andrew Johnston (no relation!) hasn't played anywhere near the form for Panthers that he showed previously. But nearer has Ferrara who's production has been woeful for Panthers.
Are all these a systems/coaching issue rather than the players?

Without taking the P I think it's fair to suggest that Nottingham's on ice problems are not the fault of one or two players and that attention needs to be on the people that hire and coach them instead.

Panthers have some very good players on their roster, yeah maybe a couple of journey men but some great talent, good player dont become rubbish in the space of a few months...

I would have signed him and let Oskar go. Sorry Oskar.

I think he’d have been an ideal backup for us.
