I hope the team are not as over confident as the posters on the forum, the clan still have two lines of quality, we will need to be on our game, as has been said we are playing against two lines which could upset our systems, I think the clan will beat us.

I would like to think that we should always go into a game looking to win, rather than I think we will get beat , we need to be a bit more positive we should have best them at. Braehead they scored against the round of play, flyers to win,

Good point. I know our 3rd line's been ok lately but I still cringe when they get put out for face-off's in our zone. I worry alot less now that Torch is taking the draws decent faceoff man and a good defensive forward as is Hamish. When the brits get matched against Miller they need not be in awe of him get in his face and don't let him breathe, chip it out our zone and dump into the corners or on Zemmer - i.e. nothing fancy just good defensive hockey.

It has to be said that Flyers looked stale from the start tonight. Skated slow in the first period to the extent that i thought something was up with the ice surface. Looked like we turned back the clock to Todds normal gameplan of dunking it into the corners and hope for the best rather than scoring from free attacking play. It is also easy to see why Bobby boy was released from the Clan. Bobby plays for himself and not the team. Staggeringly he is climbing up the goals and assists charts but it is frustrating to see a player skate back so slowly and defend so unwillingly for his line. Thought at first it was just that he was unfit but his style of play hacks me off most games !

It was a poor performance from the team. Too much dumping of the puck which handed posession to Clan. I thought we struggled and needed Jason to offer something extra. I fear a 5:1 defeat tomorrow

Thats what takes you through the ice-hockey emotions trip, the uncertainty of the result of any game. How many times has an understrength Flyers side defeated the odds then fell on their own sword in a match weighing heavily in their favour, thats the good ole hockey game for ya.

I hope todd and danny watch the video of that game because it was very poor. Why do we lose so many face offs, why did we dump the puck time after time only rarely was anybody after it, just giving it away. I'm no hockey expert but nothing seemed to change when we lost our way, some physical play or even draw one of their guys into a fight could've changed the momentum of the game?! On a positive note hopefully we'll learn from that, there have been some great games as under dogs this season, when we're expected to win or play against a defensive team we seem to struggle to out fox the opposition.

After Thursdays game where we played well in all departments we sent that team on holiday and brought out the reverse. Lines were a mess last night, dump & run doesn't work for us but we keep doing it, a bench coach would have helped and changed things round a bit more. Officiating was among the worst I have ever seen, basic rules were just not applied, the interpretation of offside seemed to be one Fife player with a foot over the line call offside, Braehead three players offside not noticed, too many players seems to be open to interpretation as did just about every other rule. When our players tried to walk away from trouble they got penalties for roughing etc etc. Does anyone review the games from a refereeing perspective, I know the result cannot be changed but bad refereeing is not good for any team as is the monotony of having the same poor officials on a regular basis, as we are the "minnows" in the league we don't seem to matter and yet again last night officials were consulting with the opposing team before deciding what penalties to give against us. I have never been so disgusted after a game. Let's hope the "A" team are back out tonight in Edinburgh or it could be a sore one to bear. Happy New year to all Flyers fans when it comes.
