Sparky has hit it on the head. Too many people have been fixated on who nickerson was going to lamp next. Lets face it the last two years it pretty much has been the nickerson show at FIA. First thing you need to do is climb out sparky's ****. It had been the Nickerson show, you know why? Flyers have never had a player like him before. Fans were all too familiar with players like Liddiard running riot in Kirkcaldy with zero repercussions. Not to forget he was also a solid D man. People forget that part. The night Nicker got kicked out for punching Jeff Smith behind the bench, there was a queue out the door for kids to get their picture with him. Where all the kids there to see him fight every week? Away from his on-ice duties he was one of the most approachable flyers to talk to. I went to the flyers most weeks to watch my team win, I also knew with Nicker on the team there would be no taking liberties against the flyers and if anyone got too close to Regan, Nicker was there. And I can't wait to see the look on people's faces when he comes to Kirkcaldy during the season and do the exact same against the flyers. Touchy touchy! Because i agree with someones point im crawling. You'll be at Clan and Caps games all season anyway!!

This year we have upgraded on every position except in goals. Imagine this team with Regan or pitts in goals.. I think we could maybe challange the clan for the conference. Not a chance with Brown Regan and Pitts are game winners, brown isn't Hope I'm proved wrong You're kidding right? This is the same David Brown who stood on his head to take Hull to the playoff semi's and only JUST lost out against a stacked Sheffield side?
Brown is a very solid goalie. Has his angle down and his rebound control is pretty good aswell. We may not have upgraded but we have not downgraded. Since we have upgraded on all other positions then why are you so down on the team?

But instead of having a dig at me, why don't you respond to what I said?

I just wonder beyond all his fancy words and phrases, whats he basing this write up and others on? Does he actually have any knowledge of these players he writes about or does he just take what he can from elite prospects

I think that it is difficult to predict Flyers prospects because, so far in the EIHL, a signficiant number of players have performed well below their paper history/potential once they signed for us. Was this poor selection, poor players or poor coaching/fitness/discipline? The last option is my guess and I'm not confident they will change enough with the same coaching team.

If Todd doesn't get it done this year then he needs to step down and pass the head coach job over to Danny.

Would you stand down from a job/position if you performed below par in others (not your bosses) opinions? Maybe given the tools provided by mgt hes doing a great job. There wouldnt be many folk in a job if mob rule made decisions imo.

WHAT DO WE THINK is the question asked in this thread. Well, surely the answer lies in today's announcement by the club that a record number of season tickets have been sold.
That says a lot about the team recruited and the job being done by Todd and Stewie. If our most popular player had remained as well then the sales record would have been blown apart. Matt will be missed and he will miss the Fife fans but our main job is to get behind the new team right from the start.

Matt will be missed and he will miss the Fife fans but our main job is to get behind the new team right from the start. Got to agree on that, and just like fans of sporting teams the world over, at the start of every season, we just want our team to win as many games as possible, not pick up injuries and not have players suspended and play the best hockey they can and keep us supporters entertained. Roll on Saturday so that we get a look at the new team and see how they do in a warm-up match, will be interesting seeing Matt in Belfast's colours but that is all water under the bridge. Good luck to all our imports, and all our Brits, we hope you bring fitness, ability and a winning mentality to the Kingdom and that we all have a good season. COYF.
