should have signed him at the start of the season He didn't want to play this season, due to UNI? but we should be making moves just now to get him here for next season.

No he's on a 3 year course in Aberdeen. His girlfriends moved there permanently with him. If he plays elite league again, (which is unlikely) it'll be Dundee for travelling. Fife would be better getting Craig, get Craig and brucey to replace muir and wands and that's an improvement by quite a bit.

Totally agree Ironjaw they can actually move the puck which is a start. Also I have to say would take young McCluskey over Brucey thought he played really well on Sunday you can see playing with an import has brought his game on.

I'd take Lee and Craig in a heartbeat. We need a mobile British D unit.
And need to revamp the squad. Hamish is a big loss too, he was starting to click with the team this year.
But, the joys of running a short bench will continue to bite.
I feel sorry for the fans, but probably more so, the players, they are the ones getting the stick, and being hung out to dry each week.
So Predictable
So Avoidable
Nuff Said

Theres one thing true about import numbers and that is no matter how many you start the season with be it 9, 10 or 11 as the season progresses you will lose players to injury.
This will happen every year, it happened last year and its happening again this year.
If its only one import out at a time that might be survivable but when two or even three are out your screwed.
The powers that be should know this and start with the full quota right from the start of the season to give us a fighting chance.

They are using the same recruitment tactics they used in the BNL, the difference being we had British players that were capable of consistently producing at that level.

Here we go on the Muir and Wands slagging again !
You would think that they are totally responsible for Flyers troubles.
Easy targets british defencemen eh yet nobody says a word when Derek Keller gifted a super important goal to Braehead a few weeks ago
What ever problems Flyers have they are but a small part of it.

Have to agree, a fairly small part too. I don't really have an issue with any of the players at all tbh, IMO I don't think they're all EIHL standard, and after 18 months, you'd expect those who are going to make it, will by now have made it, and those who won't maybe should have gone. That said, I lay the blame at the door of the owners. If they asked me to play I would, but I know I'm not at the required level, but due to pure loyalty, you'd probably pull on the jersey. Not the players fault, they do all they can.

He also couldn't clear Krantz out the crease on Sunday hence, why he threw a bottle as he knew he had a bad shift.
I personally don't think we are physical enough in D. Cohen and Maxwell were considerably better than Keller and Caister in my opinion especially Cohey. We are struggling at times defensively because we don't have an American League guy back there. Having said that love the passion Caister and Keller have for this team. They are both winners and that is the attitude we need in the locker room.

I actually think the D guys are pretty good, one thing we haven't really done this year is leak goals.
I'd quite like to keep Caisty and Keller on 1st line. Kyle and Zach on 2nd, with another "Zach type" import on the 3rd along side maybe Craig Mitch. Then carry Wando as your 7th D man so we don't get to the ridiculous situation we end up half the time now with sometimes 4 or 5 D men. This would be 7 solid, and Danny as an optional 8th if injury cripples you at the back

1 Import Goalie 4 Import D 6 Import Forwards
That would allow us to mould 3 great lines, with the potential of even running a 4th (mix and match of experience and young brits), that's how they'll learn to play their trade, not in a line of 5 brits out to really rest the first 2 lines, and see what they can do.
