GAME THREAD: Manchester Storm v Steelers Saturday, 5th November 7:00pm

[Jayboy]

Another Challenge Cup training session...

[JoeySlats#13]

Nothing to achieve particularly in this one apart from keeping the lines firing and potentially getting Ostlund in to give Greenfield some rest bite with league games Sunday (6th), then Wednesday (9th) and then Saturday and Sunday against Giants (19th and 20th).

I think we might see some rested maybe for this one? Davey back and maybe worth keeping Graham in and playing Mitchell (I'm sure he'll like tearing around the smaller rink!) Might see Allen rested again if he's got a knock (assumed as he missed Saturday's cup game), I'm sure there's a case for keeping Connolly on D too but with Davey and Piche now back and Mitchell getting more game time it will be interesting to see who misses out and where Connolly plays from now on.

Two games on a Sunday? @Jayboy

We’ll be knackered.

Haha.

We really need to find a way of playing a backup goalie here. Is Oskar actually going to play at some point this season? Surely his injury must be on the mend by now?

May as well send him home if he’s still weeks away.

Sometimes you just want to smash a team 15-0, introduce their players to the plexi and cheer as their coach gets a game misconduct while watching their fans spit the dummy out, the altrincham shed dwellers are such a team.

basically this comes down to "who would you not like to play in knockouts, Manchester or Nottingham

[JoeySlats#13]

McLaughlin starting in net and Graham keeps his spot in the lineup. Wonder if we have another Brit backing up or Greenfield?

I would keep Mitchell in there and maybe rest someone, if anyone has a knock that they could rest for Sunday's league game.

Yep be good to get some more match fitness and sharpness into Mitchell.
