Sheffield v Leicester 23rd May

How long was left on the clock when Douglas stalled and had to go away from the tapes to restart his bike ? -
Sheffield vs Ipswich 13th May
Charlieboy replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well done Ipswich best team on the night. Sheffield have too many passengers. You can’t fault Kyle for effort but it’s points that win meetings. I think the trouble is he’s captain and got his testimonial coming up and the management have been very loyal to him. Big decisions ahead if we have any intention of retaining the league title. It’s definitely not happening with the current 1-7. -
Don’t think there are enough free dates to have replays as the season generally gets squashed into the final says of October as it is so what about 3 super heats using 6 out of the 7 riders ?

Borefest for most of the meeting. Only came alive after Pickos superb team ride to block mountain and allow Holder to up on the line for a point. Dont think the track was prepared for passing. Probably due to the stock cars last week. Gate 3 is a total graveyard If your not a GP rider then your basically going to run a last. I think Belle Vue rode better as a team and were unlucky on the night but that’s speedway. When you need your top boys to come good they did their job.

Sheffield v Oxford 02/05/24
Charlieboy replied to 4thbender's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Good performance from the Tigers against a very solid Oxford side who will definitely be in the playoffs at the end of the season. Brilliant performance from Cookie and good to see he’s conquering his demons. Another entertaining meeting at owlerton especially when Josh Pickering was on track. That lad is worth the admission money alone. Looking forward to the meeting with the Aces next week -
Sheffield v Kings Lynn 18/05
Charlieboy replied to Manifesto's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Solid team performance tonight from all 7 Sheffield riders. Good to see Dan amongst the points. That should give him some confidence. -
Meeting cancelled due to stadium availability
-
Quite happy that these 2 lads are at reserve. I hope Gilkes comes back fully fit and was impressed with Edwards in the meetings he did for us. With the team average been increased would it not be an ideal time for all teams to have 2 up and coming reserves ? More races against each other plus racing against higher average riders too. Just a thought.
-
Looks a decent 1-5 on paper but we’ve got nothing to compare it to until others name their teams Think we might struggle at reserve but time will tell.
-
I’d be happy with that. Those 2 lads have made good progress since they came here and barring serious injury I think they will be top riders
-
Personally I’d like us to be able to fit one of the Cook brothers in instead of Kyle. He’s been a loyal servant to Sheffield but I think we need to freshen it up if we want to have a chance of winning the league again. Can’t see Kyle upping his average any more.
-
Big loss for Sheffield. Heard he wasn’t coming back a few weeks ago but was hoping the info was incorrect. Been brilliant for us home and away. Thanks for the entertainment Tobi

Ipswich v Sheffield play off final 1st leg
Charlieboy replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Allowing Lambert to ride is how you interpret the wording of the rule as with many rules. I don’t understand why they couldn’t just add lamberts rides last year to his then average so he’d have an updated average this year. Why are play offs not added to the riders current average. I think all official matches should count. League /Cup/play offs. The changes we made had to be made because it’s a numbers game. We couldn’t just change one rider In my opinion I would have kept Kerr as he’s a better performer at Ipswich and Wolves. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what anybody thinks on here because we can’t change anything. -
Ipswich v Sheffield play off final 1st leg

Jack wasn’t fit enough to come back In because of his injury. He wouldn’t have been able to ride in all our meetings. He was only just able to manage his GP last 2 rounds with long gaps in between. The GP tracks are easier to get round than Wolves and Ipswich with their tight bends. End of the day guests are used by every team and you are always going to try and use horses for corses whichever team you are. I don’t like them but it’s the nature of the beast Sometimes they pay off sometimes they don’t. I don’t think Harris and Lambert scored more than Jack and Tobi /Wuffy would have done so we didn’t benefit from that. Ellis could have had one of his better nights and scored what Noddy did so Jye was probably the difference replacing Vissing who still hasn’t returned from injury.
