Bandits 46- Poole 44 Another last heat decider I see coming.....

Not all Redcar fans are as dedicated as Claire and Tracey! Good crowd from Teesside last night but definitely not as big as they usually are!! Our guests did a fine job but our 4 remaining Bandits actually performed better than in recent weeks also. Despite ongoing issues with his shoulder, Leon was incredible last night and was not going to be denied getting the points needed in 15. You could see what it meant to him... And the crowd! After the heartbreak of last week, he couldn't have been more determined!! A fine night!

Are we gonna need to consider a guest for Rory following his very big off at Oxford?

Realistic!!

Brum 48 Berwick 42

There's a few uneducated up there then as Mrs Pijper herself had to go on and remind people of his age and this being his 1st season!! I just think you lot should be happy with what you've got.... You've got a few underscoring and you're still able to win home and away!

Between here and Glasgows Facebook page, there's a few! He took a fair bit of stick, as well as a couple of others, after the redcar defeat!

I'm not being funny.... But you're winning matches still and moaning about a "struggling" reserve.... Come back when it's you're heat leaders that aren't scoring points

He had his good meetings at reserve... Will be interesting to see how he fairs in top 5!

That's fair enough average wise... But people moaning that we've went for Riss.... Do we know if the others were asked? If we knew for fact that they weren't then there may be something to moan about.... Before last night's score from him though, people would've been jumping cock-a-hoop for us getting Riss as a guest... His Shielfield record is impeccable!! And before anyone says I'm a happy clappy chappy who agrees with all the promotion do, I certainly ain't! I profess that I ain't enjoying it as much this year... Maybe having Bomber last year and knowing you'd have a chance in the big heats spoilt us.... but they're still my team and I'm aware that if we don't use it then we lose it!! All we can do is watch and see now what happens on track tonight!!

Would they have fitted average wise with what we have available? And were they available in the first place? How do we know who was and wasn't asked?

Excellent guest!!

Or is it just the opposition making him look good tonight?

And for those of us who don't have him on Facebook... What's the update?

Rory, TJ, Leon & Connor showed that there was passing opportunities available if you'd wanted them!! Bike problems or not... He's done more than enough laps of our track to know where you need to be! Much better this week though against an Edinburgh team who rode with more gusto at our place than their own! Losing Josh in Heat 1 was a big blow for them but they hung on through the meeting... Only falling away in the later heats! A much tougher test to come next week in Glasgow & Redcar but hopefully this weekend has rallied us to push on!

Edinburgh to come and Redcar the following week.... Ouch!!!

True... but They still have enough to do the damage Bomber, Claus, basso, Lee and Ace! I'm expecting a very hard meeting and won't be surprised if Glasgow do come away with the win!! It's our 1st home meeting as well which makes it all the harder!!

Apart from a good Monday and a few good hours on Thursday it's not been good here all week!

But to no even last a lap....

Ahhhh well... Jyes 2023 season starting well.... NOT!!!

Wonder if Kyle may stay with us now assuming Ace may not be with us and Luke is away too!

Well, one other complete team.... Oxford going top heavy with a very long tail!!!

I'm struggling to understand the major negativity towards this team!!!

I should imagine, if he is allowed to anyways, that it would be Leon and Bomber riding for Berwick!

That's the same ref who excluded Leon in heat 13 at Poole... A decision even the Poole manager disagreed with! I think a few disagreed with that decision but like you say, he's got the ultimate call!.
