For what they are worth my views on last night.
With a netminder like Besko, Belfast win the league. Although Bowns has found form again so far this season we don’t have a good enough pairing to compete.
Besko is like a brick wall at the back, coupled with our poor creation of space and shooting angles we did well to score twice.
Bowns rebound control was poor and on the attacks where Belfast scored their second and especially third we looked panicked and like they were always going to come away with goals.
If only we had our hands on a netminder that had consistent stats like Besko….
We missed Mosey, hopefully he’s not on the gantry for to long.
If I had a £ for every time Crawford put a pointless cross check in after he’s had a mistake or spat his dummy out I could afford to buy 50 & SOHB tickets again.
Our PP is awful, no movement in front of the net to create any space.
No players look confident or comfortable on break aways, before they even hit the blue line they are looking for the perfect pass rather than backing themselves and taking the shot - Mosey OT winner in pre season style.
Few players are struggling for from Waller, Cox, Sanford and and and….
Batch HAS to get involved after the awful hit on Chad, no question. We didn’t loose the game because of that 2min penalty we had 58 other minutes to put ourselves in a more comfortable position. Batch taking that on will mean a lot more to his team mates over a season than not.
I’m sure it will all come good, PR clearly has the ideas and passion as do the players. Missing chemistry and confidence this weekend.
