I actually enjoyed the game although I was expecting the worse so upped my alcohol intake which I rarely do.
I thought the forwards worked really hard but the problem is we have to move mountains to score but the Steelers seemed to just have to shoot to score in the first.
We got off to a good start but 3 soft goals down to Bowns, Thompson and Crawford cost us and took the wind out of our sails.
Kozun steadied the ship but Steelers sat back once they were ahead.
To be fair we only had 4 D and eventually only 3 so were always unlikely to win but I thought the forwards effort was great.
We need Coughler back and we need to bolster our defence with new blood. Steelers again gave our defence a lessen in how to use the body. They saw how dangerous Sanford is and flattened him (quite fairly) numerous times. Thompson and Crawford need to take a leaf out of their book.
As for goal tending, Bowns used to be a top goalie. Now he is average (6th among the starting netminders). With a good defence in front of him he could be a lot better but not this this lot who let forwards walk through them. The exception is Richie who despite his size still is able to take the body.
All we need to do is add some muscle to the D and then clone Sanford Cox and Waller and everything will be alright. Simples.
