Given our current predicament whats the fans feeling on Flyers staying in top 8? Not getting any points at weekend has us in freefall down the standings we still have games in hand but you have to win them weekend past and weekend coming you would have said at full strenghth we would have been good for 6 out of 8 points losing only down in Coventry. Instead it looks like we might only get 2 from 8 hopefully scraping a win against Dundee this Saturday but thats optomistic. Were definatley up against it right now with injuries and suspensions and signing deadline past. What i dont get is Manchester signed two players Zajac and Morris as cover surely Todd and Jeff seen this and penny would drop on bringing in Kestrils player. Having sat in 4th position 2/3rds of the season and now in free fall is really hard to take and its not looking good for making the playoffs now the players tried hard on Saturday the effort was there and when Gaut went out their heads dropped no question Did not make the Dundee game but sounds like a close affair but you just cant see where the next win is coming from with the team banged up and suspended for next two weekends. There is never any regular news either on injuries so very much doom and gloom at present

The exit door is clearly beckoning.
Like last year, injuries are taking a heavy toll. This could be caused by overworking players who become easier hurt when tired.
Better use of resources, ie using Brits more, could have alleviated this (and helped develop the youngsters). Flyers will never change under the present regime though.
Started off so well this season too.

We are now in the middle of a huge dog fight that is going to have two losers, to qualify for the play offs now I think is as hard as it gets for us
Do we have the team for it, I don't know, our good run finished before the end of October, three months ago, thats history now. Since then we've been going backwards and have one of the poorest forms in the league. Hard hit by injury, no doubt and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better for us any time soon. We hardly ever deal with injuries so we're just going to have to deal with this. Do we have the stomach for it, do we?

Can’t think of many Elite teams who knowing they would have 3 D men missing ( Aarssen, Wands, Stoflet ) would not be able to get cover in. Could this be down to lack of money or lack of contacts or both? If we were serious players and had any ambition we should have released a forward when Schaber was back fit and replaced with a blue liner.

Even before the injuries, form for the last 20-30 games we are 10th in league. Only been higher up the table because of Owens early season form. Writing has been on the wall for a long time. Coaching or management will never change though. Knew from day 1 defence would be weak and upgrading the brits makes no difference if they dont play them.
