Invicta Dynamos are back on home ice this weekend after a long wait.

A stop-start calendar in recent weeks has meant the Mos have seen limited action.

The games will start coming around thick and fast once the Mos host Oxford City Stars on Saturday (5.45pm).

Karl Lennon’s side lost 5-2 to Slough Jets last time out at home, on October 1, but two weeks later beat the reigning champions Streatham 3-0 away.

Finding some consistency will now be key.

Lennon said: “They have set the bar now haven’t they and I am expecting bigger and better things but I also have to be patient, it doesn’t happen over night.

“While we have got a core of players who were here last year with us, there are a few newbies that have been added in and they come across almost all of the lines that we have.

“It means they have to settle in with the guys that are around them and (the Streatham game) felt like it was our most settled performance of all the games that we have played and the result reflected that.

“The top teams have all been nicking points off each other at various different places, it is all about consistency, who is going to be the most consistent this season is going to be the most successful.

“We need to build on our last performance, but we can’t slip down against other teams that we play now. We know we can beat the best team in the division and we know we have beaten some other good teams in the division, either this year or last and we take a lot from that.

“It is now doing that more regularly and not allowing poor performances to affect our trajectory.

“It won’t be the failing of our team, the roster or our tactics, because we know we can implement them to be successful, it will be more about the application, making sure we are ready to go every time we play and that will be our failing if we don’t have success.”

Oxford were beaten 7-2 at home by Streatham on Sunday, a day after an overtime loss at the Solent Devils.
