Manchester Phoenix v Nottingham

Right. Couple of blogs for today!

Well, last night, the Phoenix rolled into Nottingham looking to pick up another 2 points, unfortunately, Nottingham where a lot more on the ball this time, and ran a much more physical game, with players being thrown out, and plexi-glass being shattered! Sounds like a fun game!

Nottingham, to their credit, fought hard, and pulled out a 5-4 victory. Heck, we ran them close! However, disappointingly, the Phoenix had managed to pull out a 2 goal lead in this game, only to let Nottingham bag 3 unanswered goals! This is something that has happened before, and as such, needs sorting out Tony! So, a little disappointing.

However, on the flipside, the very fact that we are able to feel disappointed with this outcome does mark a massive step forward in this team when compared with teams of yore. Last year, we would be reflecting on "what might have been" whereas this year, its more a case of "What should have been!" When you realise that, you do suddenly perk up a bit!
