I reckon they’ll be a bigger crowd for this game than the recent Belfast game. Yet Dundee are 41 points behind us in the league.
Easy Steelers win, Lavigne should get the game for me.
Personally I think the Guildford game should be on the season ticket not this one.
5-1 Steelers.

You'd like to think we'd give Greenfield a night off and let the back up blow the dust off his pads but I'm not so sure it'll happen.
Fox will be terrified of resting our no1 and getting a bad result.

Hoping that a good road win on Sunday and playing the bottom team in the league that we see a more dominant performance, would be good to see us put up 4+ and get some guys going who have been struggling (doesn't narrow it too much
) We desperately need to see a good home performance and this is the perfect opportunity to get it going (could be too late) but we have the majority of our remaining games at home (5 of 7) so anything could still happen.
Will we see more line changes? Sunday's certainly sparked a good response but do we keep them or revert back to more expected combinations?
I'd go:
Ciampini-Allen-Vallerand
Connolly-Neumann-Dowd
Latal-Whistle-Kristo
McNally-Jono-Mosey
Nevalainen-Petgrave
Ackered-Jones
Schulze-Davey
Greenfield
Warburton

I'd stick with Neumann on that top line tbh.
Shouldn't be having to shuffle personnel around to deal with Dundee.
Keep it as it is and let them go nuts.

In spite of us so often finding a way to lose when there's a big crowd, I'm going to go for a comfortable win (so I've probably put a curse on it now)

I don't mind Vally or Neumann on the top line tbh - Connolly or Dowd could move to center if needed on 2nd line.
So you'd swap Vallerand and Neumann:
Ciampini-Allen-Neumann
Connolly-Dowd-Vallerand
As the top 6? I think that looks better in terms of exiting chemistry tbf. Keep Whistle (if fit) in the middle of Latal and Kristo - 4th line kind of picks itself I think.
If Whistle is out, that's when it gets interesting because obviously Pitule comes back in but could cause a shuffle if Pitule centers the 4th instead of the 3rd:
Ciampini-Allen-Neumann
Latal-Dowd-Vallerand
Mosey-Connolly-Kristo
McNally-Pitule-Jono

@JoeySlats#13
Yeah that'll do for me.
100% guarantee that Fox will change them up though.

Massive game tonight, we don't take these 2 points, then our slim chance of bringing home the league title has gone.
Just looking at our run in, that's not an easy last 6 games after tonight.
Panthers (H)
Flames (H)
Giants (A)
Devils (H)
Clan (H)
Devils (A)
Including tonight's game, out of the remaining 7 games we have, 5 are at home, we win all them, that's 10pts & puts us on 78pts
We need Giants to slip up a coupla times but I just can't see it.
