Can I start by qualifying this post - I am not slting the management or the team.
i think this weekend has been a massive reality check for us fans. We have a good team, but not a great team and we are not going to win the league. Don't get me wrong, I think that on our day we are more than capable of beating any team is this league and beating them well, we are just not quite there yet. i'd love to be proved wrong but I don't think I will be.
I have really enjoyed the majority of games we have played at the tent this year and I think with some consistent officiating we could have won tonight. However, lets not try and mask tonights loss with Darnells horror show (and it was). We were caught out 3 times in the 2nd period at the back and suffered at the hands of one of the leagues top 3 teams. We have lost this weekend to 2 of the top 3 and its only a matter of time before Coventry work us out.
However, lets not be glum. I think the guys played really well tonight and i'm enjoying the attacking brand of hockey they are playing. I'm sure we'll give all of the top teams something to think about before the end of the season, however we are not going to win the league. Lets enjoy what we have and I think the boys can now play the rest of the season free from the pressure that we are really contenders and hopefully secure 4th place as a minimum.
