As we are now in the back half of the season. Who thinks this team has what it takes to make the playoffs? Heart says yes, brain says no. Tough one because a few more changes and some full time Brits would could be up the top end of the league no problem.

I think yes we will make it There is other teams to go through injury and bad run of form If we stay healthy I would rather finish in 6th or 7th than 8th though

No we lost to many points over the Christmas period we should have won, think tonight against Nottingham was a killer.

I reckon unless another 2 teams have massive implosions, we are out of the playoffs chat. With 26 games left, we would need to average higher than .500 for these games (assuming around 50 points will get you into playoffs) Given our current win rate is .380, I think that the Christmas losses killed our chances.

I really hope we do but I think our December form has blown it.
It's frustrating when you look at this team, though. They're capable of going toe-to-toe with the league's big guys but it's the lack of depth that's killed us - We all said it from the very beginning.

Unfortunately I don't think that we will. Much as I like the effort and never say die attitude that we have we don't travel that well (Belfast game apart) and we concede far too many goals.
I hope that I am wrong and just getting to 8th isn't gonna do us any good at all because Steelers will hammer us, we'd need to get to 7th or better to have any hope of getting to the finals weekend.
Keep Coolen, keep the bulk of this years team, bring in a few faces who will add something to the team and maybe next year.....

I would love to see the Fyers make the play offs and do well but I cannot see it. Keep the coach and let him know now so as he can use his contacts from all over and start preparing ideas as to who he wants for next season.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Lack of Brit depth, Lack of toughness, injuries and overplaying guys in a never-ending cycle. All these could be typed in any previous season also. The coach has been backed, he's had over 20 imports. I don't think we'll make the playoffs, we've given ourselves a mountain to climb. Look to next season and fix the 3 glaring issues.
1. Stop Owen facing 50 shots a night. 2. Toughness & protection 3. Brits who play regular minutes
This isn't a dig at the guys

All results went against us last night again Panthers thrashed but still have games in hand We’re still in it only 6 points between us and 5th spot The games v Clan and Stars are must wins that would be easiest 8 points If we need 48 that gets us to 44 Coventry would get us to 46 It’s still possible but I get most think we’re done

Most likely will be battling Glasgow for 9th.

Unfortunately the other teams round about us are all picking up points so it now looks highly unlikely we’ll make the playoffs
