Best chance Dundee will have to beat us I think.

Will we fancy another trip to Scotland?

3-2 Dundee.

Will we see Barry between the pipes tonight?

I was fully expecting him to start against Nottingham but Mr Fox obviously had other ideas.

2-1 up at the moment early in 2nd. Gave up a soft one but Dowd & Vallerand responded. The Vallerand was on a PP Haas afforded us by roughing Eberle when if he’d kept his head would’ve seen Dundee on the PP instead!

Dundee level it up at 2-2. Very soft again, if we stopped gifting them goals we’d be okay here.

We’re deservedly behind 3-2. Need another character comeback, we know we have it in us, but can’t keep relying on huge late shows need to start putting poor sides away.

Steelers loose their first league fixture in regulation since 14th November.

Not clinical enough letting a poor Dundee side stick around alongside very weak D. Awful result really.

Can’t afford to drop many more like that while being hunted by strong Cardiff and Belfast sides.

I’m a big believer in it doesn’t matter how you win, just that you win. But our general performance has been average of late with the only convincing wins coming in the cup. Need to up our levels in all 3 zones to avoid a repeat of tonight because it’s always on the cards if we let teams keep with us.

No complaints about the result tonight.

It was though our first regulation loss in league play, on the road this season.

Not surprised at this one. Even got the correct score haha.

Can’t win them all, but the warning signs have been there. 1 period of good play here in there isn’t enough.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed on Wednesday.

This needs to be a blip, or as I’ve already said playing poorly and winning keeps the majority happy. Playing poorly and losing might change a few minds.

A game in hand over Cardiff has been lost with this one.
