Cardiff 3rd goal was well worked and taken. D we’re at fault for the other 2.

We’re working hard but not enough sog. Bowns has stood up well on the few occasions we’ve troubled him.

Changed my vote to Cardiff win. Hope Steelers prove me wrong 🤞but they’ll have to be slicker in front to do that.

Not a domination. But we are 2nd best, especially defensively. Neither forward units are anything to write home about but plenty of gelling to do by both sides before we see them at 100%.

1-3.

Well the EIHL WEBSITE has us outshooting the Devils so not sure what to make of not enough SOG.

It's the quality of the defence and shots that s the issue. We are as soft as in defence and a lot of our shots have been seen easily by Bowns.

Now seen all the games live, nothing has changed in my first views. Defence is very weak, forwards lack cohesion, this is a typical Fox team. Have t seen Belfast yet, but if they are as good as we are hearing we have a 4th placed team at best.

3rd period report and indeed game report is the same as above.

Not as poor as usual against Cardiff but fair result all the same.

Good to see some fight in the team and we didn’t roll over, Petgrave best for me.

Fox team.

Huffing and puffing offence.

Then rinse and repeat.

How many teams have lost their opening home game and gone on to win the league. Can't imagine many.

Loved the fight an battle we showed but real lack of quality to hurt teams in final 3rd an not convinced at back with nevalainen excuse if spelling is wrong hopefully we just need a little more time to gel
