All depends on his condition I suppose but a fit and healthy Vallerand has got to improve our lacklustre firepower for sure.

Hopefully it'll serve as a kick up the ass for the rest of the team.

I still feel our main weakness is our D work though and I'm not sure how Vallerand will improve this.

Maybe having Vally upfront means we can move Mosey onto D and strengthen them that way.

Possibly.
I must admit I prefer him on D anyway.

Ciampini-Allen-Vallerand
Latal-Neumann-Dowd
McNally-Whistle-Kristo
Mitchell-Pitule-Jono (Maybe Conns in place of Pitule or Mitchell)

Nevalainen-Petgrave
Mosey-Jones (assuming Piche unavailable) - if Piche is available. maybe Mosey onto line 3 and McNally down to 4?
Schulze-Davey

Greenfield
Warburton

Vally returning will hopefully give us an offensive spark certainly strengthens our top 6 and PP and PK to be fair.

Excited to see how we lineup and how we fair against the Giants who have certainly recovered after a slow start (for their standards, after CHL). I'll go for a 4-2 Steelers win tonight!

Here!

Headed out for food then the game.

Feeling confident.

I am however, swimming in caffeine, so this may impare my nerves somewhat.

Looking at the game sheet. No Piche or Mitchell. Can’t see Mitchell playing another game now Vally is here.

Getting a lesson in the level we need to operate at if we want to compete at the top of the league.

Yet another poor 1st period.

No excuses getting there yesterday.

Shows how physical play can get you the momentum which is firmly in Belfast’s favour.

Men against boys I’m afraid at the moment.
