I can't understand why flyers fans are so caught up with signing players like the Mitchell's, if they wanted to play elite why are they not playing elite for other teams. It is because A- they maybe not got the skill (Mitchell is a good player) B- they don't want to commit to it (more likely in the case of Mitchell) Maybe they want to play hockey rather than sit on their bums and watch it from the flyers bench every week

Well why not go to Dundee or Edinburgh or Glasgow. Why pick on Flyers management about it, is it because it's the trendy thing to do.

I think the Management leave themselves wide open to attack, it's well known how little the Brits get for sitting on the bench, how can that be they are committing the same amount of time to training / games / travelling etc as the Pro's. Dolan has been offered a place but no pay which is worse than the £25 they offered Craig Moore, I believe that it has been known for some time that Follmer will not be here due to a personal problem back home which will not allow him a visa.
PS, I saw mum and dad Mitchell watching the game on Sunday night, maybe they just fancied a game to watch though and lets face it Nottingham matches are always good value.

I think we should concentrate on guys like Simpson but as a full time player not a guy who turns up on match nights to get the odd shift. Give the guy full time training and summer camps and a wage and he would soon surpass the level that Mitchell was. You have to speculate to accumulate. The down side of course is in this league you could invest a lot of time and money to the junior players only for the bigger clubs to pluck them for free when they have reached the level. So I can see why the club would be wary to do this.

In reply to would our coach do better with a bigger budget Imo no he wouldn't because he doesn't have the ability and I also don't think flyers good start is down to him Imo he has never been more than head coach in name only and used as a front man to stick in front of the camera.since we first came into this league he has never had the backbone to make personal changes when we have needed them in his own words last season he didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by getting rid of them sorry but in any team sport there is no room for sentament if a player isn't producing the goods

I can understand why both those were kept. Ned could turn a game and Bobby got goals, lazy as both could be. I don't think he is scared to let folk go, just doesn't do it as quickly as others may, be that good or bad.

Sorry but he basically admitted last season he doesn't like to let guys go because he didn't like to upset guys and I'm sorry but picking and choosing which games you want to play in is not good enough especially when it was mainly against the so called weaker teams that he decided he would play its easy to see why neds had so many teams lots of ability just to lazy

Bobby Chaumont did the business on and off the ice for the Flyers, left at the right time for both parties. The Brits argument is Totally different, Dolan won't be signing, who knows how the Mitchell signing for Kestrels will go, if he does well and if his domestics allow I would think there would be a good chance he'll ice with the Flyers eventually. Oh aye and I think we can forget follmer, I would think Isaacs would have a big decision to make if he offered him the season here.

Chaumont could off and should have still done more but that isn't all his fault if he doesn't have the right guys along side him ned on the other hand only wanted to play for ned and that is wrong for the money these guys are they should be busting there ass every game not when it suits them and if they wont put in the effort required they should be benched

It wouldn't matter what Brits sign for fife they will never get a chance under the present head coach as soon as our present Brits make a mistake they are benched when Dolan played the last time for fife he was wasted on the third line Imo if our coach had his way there would be no Brits on the team .there has been lots of games over the last 3 seasons when we have been well up in games going into the third period and instead of resting some off the imports for the next night giving the Brits more ice time what do we do cut to 2 lines and continue to play the imports then come the Sunday night game the imports are knackered
