Welcome to a preview for the Christmas and New Year games for the Steelers.
After turkey, tinsel and the odd tot of sherry, Steelers are back in action for four games which could really make or break their season. They start off these with games on Boxing Day and the day after with the opposition being provided by this team:
Yes it's those Bears! The very same Bears whom I said were unstoppable before this month began. However, the wheels have started to fall off and dramatically too so much so that they roll into Sheffield in fourth place and six points behind leaders Cardiff. They have a couple of matches in hand, but as you know you've got to win them. We can imagine that they will hurting come 4pm on Boxing Day, and this is a similar scenario to last season. Steelers know winning both games will really put a massive dent in their biggest rivals title bid whilst giving them a faint chance that they can get closer to those at the top of the table.
Another double header comes either side of the New Year, as we face another tough couple of assignments in the following:
Yes it's Finner's Storm! Storm started the season with an absolute bang, leading it for a number of weeks too. But they slipped off the radar for a while. However, the roster that they have is packed with talent and ability. Former Braehead forwards Mike Hammond, Matt Beca and Scott Pitt are capable of taking any team apart giving half the chance. Games between Steelers and Storm have been feisty and physical affairs so we don't expect anything different in this double header. It promises to be a post-Christmas Cracker double header, games that you want to be at.
My predictions? Steelers to beat Panthers 4-2 on Boxing Day but slip to a 3-1 loss the day after in the NIC. As for the Manchester games, Steelers to take the Arena game 5-2, and to win in Altrincham on New Year's Day with a 3-2 overtime triumph. How do you see them unfolding?
