Again not a high quality game but you've got several players double shifting. Crandall, Alderson, Brandt all covering more than one line. We even had Duggan doing a spell on the first line at one point. We have so much quality sat in the stands, it's bound to hurt us. You also can't really expect to mount any kind of challenge with that kind of netminding. Wall just isn't the high quality import Goalie I was expecting. Nevertheless, two point still secures 2nd. Nothing to panic about just yet.
And which player will step up? 5ft 7 brandt?? I'm sorry but we built a midget roster, friend ain't answering for shit.
On a side note, barrow ran around hitting the hell out of the giants tonight. Personally, with the game won I see exactly what friend was doing there. Makes me like him even more. Would happily welcome him to our team.

2nd rather than 3rd probably going to be crucial if we want to do conti cup again assuming Sheffield don’t get stopped in playoffs. Opponent in qualification is going to depend how the cards fall. I think of the potential opponents Fife and Glasgow are the ones to avoid as Fife have shown able to compete with the top teams on their day and the massive Clan have beaten us already over two legs. Priority is to try to nick the points we need then limp over line into playoffs with as many people healed up as possible, we’re missing too many weapons at the moment, seems good chance to make most of our two way guys to protect some tired/bruised legs.
plus it also shows belfast can rough up one of our players and get away with it, and before anyone kicks off saying we dont want our players banned for stepping up, jog on, i know it wasnt the outcome but what if barrow ended up with a serious injury after that ,nobody knows and couldve missed the remaining games, thats where we miss a big lou type of player, even if he growled at a player they would shit themselves knowing he was looking after our players
The reasons why Giants won that game were obvious on the night. ...Whistle had the better goalie performance, our guys just couldn't capitalise on golden chances (including a 4 minute pp), and we were missing the guy who has a fantastic workrate and lifts the team with everything he does (88).
Maybe Bayley Harewood wasn't available for the night but they definitely need a couple of the two ways to stand in for our injured guys....the bench must be knackered from double shifting.

I’m not getting carried away as most people here. Yep, it was another dire game. We were short benched. This won’t have a bearing on the playoffs. We only need two points for second. We’ll probably get them somewhere along the line. It’s just a drab ending to the season. We’ll be right up for the playoffs with a renewed focus and hopefully some proper compete levels being evident in everyone.
