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. Except he picked the players in the first place and picks the line combinations, picks the tactics, takes the training and organises the systems that the team play! So when we lose its the coaches fault and his systems but when we win and play well that's despite of the coach and his systems? It honestly feels like on the forum some people are not happy unless they can diminish Todd in some way.

I don't believe he does any of those things he didn't do when danny was here and I don't believe he does it now the guy has proved since we came into the league he isn't astute enough he can only play one way and the is dump and chase any other coach would have been out on his ear about 3 seasons ago this team iv been following for last 30yrs will never achieve what we should be doing under this present coach

I didn't say this season but every other season since we came into the league that's all we have played hutchy must be convincing him there are other ways to play hockey at least for now

I get you don't like Todd but every post you put on is negative.

You could probably have levelled that at them for a few months (last season for a while and the season before that) but you need to take into account the way hockey is played at this level. It's not the Heineken League, the NPL, the BNL or even the EIHL of 5 years ago. It's a joke that folk are all over the coach when we lose but apparently it's nothing to do with him when we win! Do you not see how one eyed that is? The biggest joke though is guys like Finnerty being held up as what we need! Massive budget, 4 lines of full time players more or less, plays in the weaker Conference and still cant win the League, Challenge Cup of play-off's, but yeah he throws strops at his under performers so he's great! It's early days but the last 2 weeks have seen 2 fantastic performances at FIA- why not just enjoy it?

I have been following Flyers for a lot longer than you and I can honestly say the team has made a great start to the season and I find it absolutely pathetic that you cannot acknowledge that fact. The hockey has been hard, fast and exciting as we have beaten Belfast, Braehead and Nottingham and 99per cent of Flyers fans have gone home happy. You are entitled to spend your time criticising the coach all the time but, honestly, if you cant enjoy the hockey we have produced so far this season you would be better picking another team and give them the benefit of your support.

Back on topic, I'm guessing the lack of news means we'll be playing a man short again. The club really need to get this sorted out. Especially given Isaacs will be away in a couple of weeks.

It's got to end now, he is looking like he's going to a 4th d man utility player, can't be hard to replace, and I'm pretty sure if he does come in he's already alienated himself in the changing room. Either get Isaacs signed permanently or get a good left shot D man signed up.

Official word from the Flyers website, including spelling mistake.
"We are expecting an update regarding Kyle Follmer's visa application within the next few fays and will be able to give a full update once this information has been received."
