Our best line in my opinion in the 5 seasons so far was Pitton Haines and Chaumont, I would imagine points wise that's our most productive and for a lot of people was the best to watch, 1 of the best line in the season that year, so why has that "coach" of ours not at least tried to replicate that style wise, Pitton was massive for us, we have been missing a line that has chemistry like that to compete against the physical teams, all it takes is 1 or 2 big strong guys that can if need be handle themselve, makes a massive difference, but no Todd knows best... Apart from the fact that he doesn't because he's blind and completely incompetent. Agree re the Chaumont-Haines-Pitton line. 3 completely different types of player (but all VERY good) that complemented each other superbly. Doesn't seem rocket science that most imports coming to Britain won't be the full package, so you get a blend of guys who all offer something different. A power forward, a sniper, and a good 2-way centre would appear the logical combination. It's been said numerous times by most fans that none of our guys this year are bad players- they're all just SO similar.

Packed out, haha good Luck with that, hundreds have gave up with more to follow I'm happy the bridge has reopened so I can go watch the caps instead. I've seen them play the Panthers and Steelers, very entertaining hockey regardless of the score.

The main thing that you can take from this is that there is a possibility that Danny will be behind the bench, at last a coach that can actually coach properly from the bench. If it's Danny that's the spare, look at the difference the tactics and communication from the bench.

If that's how you feel stop bringing your negative comments to a Flyers forum, go and support someone else. Why can't some people give the club credit for doing something positive, yes everyone's not happy with Todd but get over it and support our club.

We have been in most games this season and it looks like Broony and our D have turned a corner brining in Sacchetti will hopefully spark our forwards in to better scoring form, the next 6 weeks might see more changes if it doesn't. It will be good to see a packed out Barn over festive period and all fans getting behind the team There is actually nothing wrong with our D on paper as we have only conceeded 77 goals in the league, thats 3 more than Cardiff, 6 more than Belfast, 7 more than Nottingham and Braehead and 8 LESS than Sheffield. It's at the other end that we have been having the issues as only Coventry have scored less goals than us and if bringing in Sacchetti is going to resolve this then that can only be a good thing. He has only missed 6 months not a year as some have suggested and obviously it will take him a little while to get up to speed game wise but him Dingle and Caig could be extremely potent.

I've seen them play the Panthers and Steelers, very entertaining hockey regardless of the score. One thing that's guaranteed is that you'll see plenty of goals at Murrayfield these days- most of them are finding their was in behind Chubak right enough. I find it a dire enough experience having to go to MIA to watch my own team far less as a neutral but whatever turns you on I guess. I don't frequent any other forums but do we get this with other teams fans? Do you get fed up Clan/Stars/Caps fans proudly announcing they're going to watch other teams instead of their own?

We may not be overly exciting to watch and yes I would like a different coach, players and style of play but at the end of the day Flyers are still my team and no way would I pick to go watch another team over my own.

I am a flyers fan. Have been for almost 20 years. Difference between then and now is that I have options now. Too many people on here saying the games at FIA this year have been poor to the point of unwatchable. You honestly think I'm the only one? We're talking about hundreds, closer to a thousand fans, refuse to watch what the flyers are producing at the minute and have found something else to do on the weekend. Im more than happy to freeze my balls off in Murrayfield watching the caps if I'm in for a great game. Which both times I've been this year they have been.

I hear what you're saying, but have you ever heard of someone going to a hockey game is a NEUTRAL? By all means if you have to prove to people how much of a flyers fan you are by watching that dross week in week out, you do that. I just hope it doesn't hit your pockets like it does mine.

Your talking about the best team ever to come out of Edinburgh. If you want to go and see a rival team rather than the team you have supposed to support, then you aren't a true fan of the Flyers. Yes I've went to see Edinburgh or Dundee, but only when the Flyers haven't been in Scotland playing.

Ooooh aaaah I'm part of the problem! Ah well each to their own. Think there have been many teams who have lost players to injury with bad hits and will continue to do so even with enforcers. Sunday night was a prime example where guys could have stepped up and fought but in the end it backfired for storm as they were the ones taking the daft pens and lost the game due to it. They were a better team without their "enforcer" I think you are getting enforcer and agitator mixed up. I would have forsaken a point on Saturday to see someone step up to the plate and give Diddy his totties.

The dross I'm watching finished above this apparent exciting Capitals team in the Challenge Cup and are currently above them in both league and conference. So the dross are actually winning more games...strange eh

I don't care if the caps win or lose, all I want is to watch a good hockey game, not dump and chase with zero forecheck.
