Sailing through these last few games without injury and resting key personnel as well as putting in the young lads to me is is a significant reason we were not the team we could have been, I expect a similar performance tomorrow against storm with maybe a couple more top line players given a night off.. moving them all back into the lineups for the playoffs.. :point:

I quite enjoyed the game, despite the final result.

It was always going to be tough with two key players missing and a backup in goal, although if we're going to win this tournament we'll probably need to do it with our backup.

Defensively we are quite weak and have been throughout the tournament, but I suspect that's down to the type of player Fox has chosen to go with. Our defence do help to create a lot of the offense, but that has come at a cost.

Agree with some of the comments above about Olden. At the start of this tournament I would have loved us to snap him up for next season, but based on his performances the last fortnight I wouldn't touch him.

Of the new players I think the only two I'd definitely keep are Danielsen and Schulze. Haven't seen enough of Muse to express an opinion.

Later tonight we could have the interesting situation where our result decides who we play in the semi. I would have thought our preference would be Coventry based on previous results. Depending on the result of the earlier game, defeat to Manchester could give us Coventry in the semi......Dowd in goal tonight? 🤭

Regards

I would had Mikyska to those Doom, for me he has a great pass and vision and a great chemistry with Kirk and Eberle, maybe he could shoot on goal more, but that's not the strength of his game, brought in as a provider I think he would do a decent job for us...
