Flames Vs Devils - League - 26th Oct 22 - 19:30 FO

Not a clue but I'm more frustrated at the fact the club made a big deal about our 2 way signings and we don't even use them!
Both Jardine and Brittian were injured and zero call ups.
Brittian still out with injury... Zero call ups!
Why bother with 2 ways if we don't intend to make use of them.
Surely it would of been cheaper to recruit an import and have them train and keep the ghost of the gantry company until he was needed?

Well not really, because as I said in the previous post, if you play Kozun until his form fades, then you put Bownsy in who is not only out of form himself too but now is lacking game time because he hasn't played for a month. Then you're really in the shit.
You need to rotate when you have 2 potential starters. The in form goalie should play more of course, which Kozun has done last week or two. But what you dont say to a goalie is there's nothing you can do now except sit on the bench and wait until your partner has a howler. That does no good for either goalie.

there is a reasonable argument that last season’s league title was given away by not calling up replacements for injured players. as has been mentioned, why not make use of these youngsters on 2 way deals. 2 way players can only learn so much by training with Elite players, the real progress is when you get to play competitive matches with Elite players - otherwise 2 way deals have very limited purpose.
Well that shut out win you speak of was nearly a month ago now. The following weekend we beat Nottingham and Guildford away both with Bownsy in net, making 43 saves in Guildford. So not sure what the issue is, even with hindsight it looks like that particular decision worked out. And I wouldn't say that Kozuns confidence took a hit from it either as you claim.
I honestly don’t get the focus on Bowns for tonight. The guy didn’t commit any howlers. He was hung out to dry. The focus should be on the poor defensive display. Crawford, Batch, Louis and above all else Jardine were so poor tonight and have been for weeks. I wouldn’t want to play in front of that lot. Then you’ve got the tamest forecheck in the league, stupid icing, poor face of performance and needless penalties all result in pressure, shots and goals. No doubt Carruth would save more than both Bowns and Kozun but he’s not here and our defensive display is appalling ending up with more rubber going on our net.
No I agree the whole team threw that away last nite ! But the difference from last year when we had a solid Nettie even when we where bad you knew you could rely on him , but with bowns you just know he is going to let stupid and soft goals in ! I’m not confident atall and haven’t been since we signed him ! Just not solid enough anymore ( my opinion)
Bristol have had a meteoric step to climb moving up to National League - most teams struggle to win any games when first stepping up, but the Pitbulls have won at home and away. Telford are mid table as you say, but Harewood at 19 years of age is already showing a Degree of comfort at National League level that players with considerably more years experience at National level have not yet achieved.
After a gruelling 3 game weekend, at least one player short and with one or two not 100%, having a couple of extra bodies to call on helps players with recovery. Previous comments have said the Devils ran out of gas in the 3rd and got the tactics completely wrong for OT Guildford had their speedsters out, whilst the Devils didn’t. Basic coaching 101

I didn't travel or buy the webcast so haven't seen overtime, but the away team has to put their line out first of course, and then the home team.
So I'm guessing we had Reid and Crandall, who were the overtime winning line only 3 days prior, so not a poor decision in itself to put them out. Was it just good from Dixon to get his matchup correct and it paid off? If play had gone on for another minute we would have had our quick line out against their second line and who knows what would have happened then. Just the way it goes.
