Rye House Vs Plymouth Sat 19th March 7pm
Penny Cross replied to barraider's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I take your point Shads.A bit early to judge riders form atm. However 2 points concern me re Charlie last night. Had his front wheel in the air more often than normal.Barely getting it down before the pit gate each race. Seems very low on confidence. Never looked likely to challenge for a 2nd place in his races. Also constantly looking over his left shoulder for the guy behind him. Totally accept he needs a few meetings to dial in after his lay off. -

Great to see speedway back at Smallbrook. Very best of luck to Brendan Johnson. He deserves a good season after last years nonsense from Eastbourne. -

Still up to his tricks I see. At a Plymouth v Somerset meeting a few years ago, both Masters and Kyle Hughes had a coming together. Hughes was stuck under his machine when Masters came up and kicked him, steel shoe et al. Not the most popular visitor to the SBA. -
Glasgow V Plymouth Play Off Qf
Penny Cross replied to Gazc's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Fishers rides definitely cost the Devils. Very poor return from R/R and guest. At SBA, it was 3+2. At Ashfield it was a big fat 0. Would have been good for at least 6-7 at home and maybe double figures away. Good luck Tigers. -

Get over it for gawds sake. In Allen Trump, Plymouth have a person who has done far worse than that! He wouldn't think twice about doing the same. It has happened plenty of times before, and will continue to happen. Not saying its right at all, but every Promoter could and should be looking at what's best for their club in the same situation. Perhaps Lewy, you should be looking at the disgraceful outburst on twitter from Kyle Newman. Using lots of swear words and blaming everything and everyone for last nights result. Not once apologising for his own inept performance. Even Ashley Birks and David Howe have asked him not to be so disrespectful. Had Plymouth won, all would have good! So in just this last week he has unceremoniously slagged off Scunthorpe and Sheffield without a word of contrition for his own failings. What will he say about Rye House later ? We all know he hates the place with a vengeance. Some of his actions leave me baffled. Rarely does he chase after another rider who beats him in a good race to shake his hand after the race. Its ok when the other rider looks for him though. Rarely shows any passion when winning a race, allowing the fans to celebrate with him on the wind down lap. Poor at team riding. Take thursday, in a good position with Eklof for a 5-1, didn't bother looking until the last lap, cleared off allowing Lanham through and eventually causing Eklof fall when trying to rescue the 5-1. Poor actions from our captain. Nothing new there though, as its happened plenty of times this year.

The way Newcastle rode last night, Wright could easily have scored the same.

Poor decision to drop Wright. Simota has had all season and ridden worse than Wright for most of it. Only now as reserve has he managed to up his average, still below his starting average. Given that Wright only came in a month ago, its to be expected hed struggle a bit. As a reserve, I would have expected him to get amongst the points. So much for our Promoters claim that theres too many foreigners, and Brits are not given enough chances!

Nowhere near as convincing a win as when against Somerset and Edinburgh. After all if any one of the Rockets had fired up, obviously Kennett excepted, it could well have different. Quite agree about Holders ride. If every meeting had one race like that, we would all go home smiling, even if it was against your side. While on his SRBF collection duties, I said to Jack, about Ht9, 'what ever big Bro can do'...' His reply was' Chris... Chris who'? Very impressed with Risager. Ht7 and ht11 were probably his best rides as a Devil, well, certainly at the SBA. With recent changes, the momentum has swung the Devils way as far as the play offs go. Rye House away will be the tricky one, as normally Newman is appalling there. Maybe wiser to get a sick note for that one, as I'm sure R/R would help the team. Long way to go yet, though. Agree its about time Sky got their backsides down here.

Belle Vue Aces V Poole Pirates 03.08.15
Penny Cross replied to SteveLyric2's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Don't be silly. Poole doing their best to get Aces into play offs. Better to face KL or BV than Swindon in the Semis.
