I think Dutes is starting to prove his worth as a coach in this league with very limited sources. Granted ive criticised him in the past but the guys stuck with the same brits every year,which he clearly doesnt trust pr like them as players or he'd play them. He virtually has to get every import signing correct in the summer and i think he doesnt do a bad job. I think he wants an enforced but knows if the enforcer takes a big penalty in a game or a suspension then he has to play brits that he doesnt want in his team. I feel for him a bit now but id like to see how he wouldve done if we added Davies,Dolan,Moore and added Cameron instead of Finucci, couldve perhaps been closer in the title race.. That's actually a very good comment about Dutes the coach, as I have also aimed criticism his way in the past. But I have yet to see any import past or present ever criticise his coaching methods, style or ability. Every import I have seen comment on Dutes or Fife say he's a good coach who they like playing for. Some of our imports have played at a very high level, so he must be doing something right? |

I think as time moves by, there is an increased frustration at the ownership, rather than the coach, he does have his hands tied. I would still seek to move for a new coach, but, I do have some sympathy with the coaching staff. It's not unreasonable to ask for decent tools to do your job afterall

I also quite like him having an assistant thats a bit more vocal as Dutes has openly admitted he's not the most vocal, which might well be a good thing. When you look at finnerty and his hot headedness and he's the head coach. Dutes seems like quite a calming influence which can only be a good thing, i also think he seems to have alot of authority and the players clearly respect the coaching staff. I liked the dutes and stewy combo and i think hutchy has a similar attitude as stewy did,dutes and hutch compliment each other well!

Say what you want we're stealing games we're not ment to win. The team is grinding out wins no doubt. Last seasons team wouldave lost those two games against storm and panthers.

Boschman will be in melt down at all this talk, don't upset him please  |

With Dutes holding Kuznik in such high regard as a player and a person, it would be interesting to hear if Dutes ever attempted to re-sign him for Fife at any point since we joined the EIHL? |

He was only 31/32 when we entered the league playing at probably a higher level in the EBEL, I'd be surprised if there wasn't any contact made back then

Clan have the confidence going into this one as they have had our number this season. Best chance for us is if Owen stands on his head or as he calls it playing his normal game. Obviously Dingle being back would be huge but I wouldn't want to rush him back just for this game if it meant him being out longer term after it. Dingle will be back. Can see Cowick and co targeting him an Owen which is quite legitimate. Don't know if you listened to the Paul Hand interview, where he says the flyers never done anything in his era because they were easily intimidated and bullied out of games because they lacked toughness. He also says that we lacked quality Brits back then because we lost them all to other teams because refused to pay them. Hmmmmm glad things have moved on from then !!!!! Where is the Paul Hand Interview? |
