    C R E A T I N G A D V A N T A G E february edition 2 2020 OFFICIAL MATCHDAY fortnightly MAGAZINE OF THE HULL PIRATES £3.00 #WEAREPIRATES WWW.HULLPIRATES.CO.UK coachs corner It’s been a mixed couple of weeks here obviously with the results. In my eyes its unacceptable and even worse its completely our own doing. We had a huge character win against MK in over�me, everyone was flying and feeling good. Then 20 hours later in Sheffield we threw the game away and handed the 2 points to them. The manor in which we did that has snowballed and led to our last 2 defeats this weekend. Its frustra�ng as we were in a really good posi�on and playing good hockey. Then through our own doing put ourselves in a mid table ba�le. Its credit to the league this year as the results have shown. Its competa�ve which is what we all wanted. There are no guaranted wins. Every team has to ba�le for every win now, but s�ll with all respect to other teams we shouldn’t be in this ba�le. Its no one persons fault, we have a team i believe in and know can win. We have had more than our fair share of injuries this season and ba�led through. We have players back and need to get back on track, play our game and build to the playoffs. So its reset �me and gut check �me. Guys have and will be challenged and i believe we will get a posi�ve reac�on.
