Episode 6: Guildford Flames end of season review
<p>We’re joined by Guildford fan Brian Greenwood for a full deep dive into the Guildford Flames season.<br>We kick things off by looking back at pre-season expectations and how the squad shaped up, before diving into the big questions—how do the Flames turn around their cup fortunes, and is the answer more preparation or an earlier start?<br>Despite some wobbles in the league, Guildford maintained their impressive record of never finishing below 6th in the Elite League—but was that enough, or a missed opportunity? Costly losses to Fife and Dundee ultimately proved the difference in the race for a top 4 spot.<br>In the playoffs, it was a tale of two performances—grit and fight at home, but a familiar softness in Sheffield that’s crept into too many big games this season.<br>We also break down the roster with a full imports deep dive—who stays, who goes, and what needs to change across the goalies, defence, and forwards.<br>Brian brings his knowledge of European leagues to the table, suggesting potential signings that could take the Flames to the next level.<br>We wrap things up with a quick-fire Q&A, covering:<br>• Favourite Guildford player of all time<br>• Best season and standout game<br>• Top away venue<br>• Toughest opposition and most disliked rival<br>• One thing that needs to change at the club<br>A must-listen for Flames fans as we close the book on the season and start looking ahead.</p>
