Kozuns svs% is 96.59 vs Bowns 90.91

It's a no brainer for me that Kozun has more than earned the right to guard the Devils goal tonight.

That's in the league - in the Cup Bowns is 90.5% and Kozun 86.8%....

Good piece as ever Matt but I still can't work out why Devils wouldn't qualify if we beat Coventry tonight - we seem to have the tiebreak over other teams who can get to 50% (or are at 50%).... what am I missing?

True but over all Kozuns stats show he's the better choice and in my opinion I would have him and let him prove that he is a contender for a starting spot

It's a tough call - Bowns generally plays well in Nottingham so following through your point, Kozun tonight given his hot streak (ignoring Fife's third goal ) and then Bowns tomorrow might be a good option. I really wouldn't want to be the coach making this call.

Bottom line though is still that we need stronger team defence and if we get that, the choice becomes less vital

Couldn't agree more. Team D is what's needed. Better decision making when we're behind our net, better exits from our zone and simple tape to tape passing to avoid the stupid and needless icing x

Kozun starts ..jardine back..brittain scratch.

 

[BostonBart22]

Lot more pressure on kozun now to keep his place,,,may backfire but good luck to him.

That’s not an issue, every player is playing for his place within the team in every game, at least he should be, doesn’t matter what position.

 

[Rempel16]

Big pressure on Kozun tonight, I hope he doesn’t get slated the way Bowns does on here at the first sign of a mistake.

Hope the defence keep it tight for him.

Must win game and potentially therefore the biggest game of his career to date.

D will help him , most teams try harder for backups, look at Nottingham their #2 been in last 5 games and I think they've won more this season with him in nets.

 

[ASHIPP]

Taran is not a backup goalie! He and Bownsey are a tandem partnership.

 

[stephen2295]

I missed most of the catch up with Todd pre game, did he give an update on Brittian or a time frame on his return ?

Anyone go to Q&A any news on Brittian

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

I only caught the tail-end of the Q&A so don't know if Brittain was discussed.

 

[matbur]

No mention on Brittain but I missed the first few minutes. Will get an update after the game.

 

[mjh]

And Blaze score after 13 seconds. Think there's too much focus on the netminder on here. Truth is, this season, we're just not that good.

Horrendous back pass to our own net with a blaze player right there- a gift of a goal.

 

[ASHIPP]

Wow must be ready for the opposition making a lighting quick move. Our Team must focus totally for full 60 minutes....from the back to the front. Blaze know how important this game is, they will not being taking it lightly.

 

[moggy#9]

Apparently we're all over reacting and everything will be fine because we've won the play offs and we'll finish in the top 3.
