Sometimes you come up against a stronger, better team and there is not an awful lot you can do. This was made even tougher for us by our game the previous night against the Clan
I cannot see anyone catching Sheffield to be honest - they look unstoppable and their stats in virtually all departments is pretty dominating at this stage. They may lose the odd game here and there but I think they will then jump straight back into winning ways the next game. It’s not to sounds negative about the Devils chance of winning the league - we can beat anyone on our day (we have already proved that), I just think they are too strong for us this season in terms of consistency and mentality.
I also think Belfast, even though they have been stuttering along, will now push on with a run in the new year and finish in that second spot - they won’t settle for less than that I imagine.
Judging the season to where we are at now, i think we will fight it out for that third place, (similar to the last few years) probably with Guildford as they are now starting to jump into a bit of a run and finding their feet.
Before the season ends it wouldn’t surprise me if we beat every team once, and lose to every team at least once, depending if we have that many fixtures left with each of them.
With this, wishing everyone here a very Happy Christmas along with all the fans, players, team leadership and Devils management. Look forward to the match up on Boxing Day against the Blaze!
