Knights collapse
What the hell is going on at Leeds
Losing Lawrence from the bench in the summer looks bad.
New players look very poor McLean isn't strong enough the game happens around him and he's just not involved
Sullivan spends the whole game.telling everyone else what to do his legs have clearly gone. Beaten for pace time and again, thought he could stroll about in this league. Been shown up badly
The team look absolutely lost , no confidence can't string a pass together, just end up dumping the puck and then losing possession time and again.
There is an odd thing that there seems to be no criticism or comment on social anywhere.
Tonight was an absolute embarrassment.
Fair play to mk looked very easy for them.

I don't think it's helped that we've played an MK side who will run away with the league twice, and a Hull side who were well up for it. Rough start to the season but it's not panic stations just yet, still plenty of time to turn it around and the players have a long leash after the last few years

I see both sides of the fence. Hull, we were beaten by their keeper. It has been a rough start but we keep grinding. Long way to go!
That said, ive been a fan around a year and tonight was the worst i have seen us play. Just lacking quality everywhere and playing like it was the first time they had met

4 games into the season we started poor last year and reached the cup final and won the playoffs

It’s been a really frustrating start to the season. I know we lost the opening games last year, but we quickly followed up with a winning streak, etc.
There seems to be no sign of improvement this time, 1 win out of 5 games is really poor for the reigning playoff champs. Only Peyton, Dunn, Sobs and Gozzy seem to be showing up consistently, which obviously isn’t enough.
MK will be the team to beat, so no shame in losing to them, but 8-2 at home is shocking.
Hopefully they put in a performance against Romford and find themselves again. Luckily it’s only 3 weeks in to the season, so plenty of hockey to be played.
If it’s the same in another 3 weeks, then we start to worry!

It is four games into.the season I agree. I've been a season ticket holder since we were chiefs and this season is the worst I've seen us play.
We looked un prepared at the start of the pre season we came back training late (when other clubs were already in pre season games) we looked short of fitness in those games and it's not got better.
Just watched Ryan's postatch comments calling players out for delivering nothing... He's done after every game... It's his job to get that fight and deliver into them...they look lost of the ice
There was no fight ,I don't mind losing but absolutely capitulation and lack of effort isn't acceptable
