Somerset are so top heavy but got away with it. Personally i think it's a risky way to build your team especially away from home as 3 of their riders are basically national league riders. It just takes one of their top 4 to have an off meeting. Fortunately for them they all rode well. It's a bit of a concern with the inconsistency in our team but Max Clegg has been outstanding lately and one of the bargains of the season.

Been a really frustrating season for Ash. I would think he would be on an attractive average next season. Would love to see him back with the diamonds next season.

Ulrich at reserve wouldn't be too bad Ruff!!

I'm not up with all these emojis.

Ha ha. I meant jensen

I fully expect a diamonds victory tonight. Masters will do a good job and should reach double figures but he's no cookie around Brough. Starkey will weigh in with a few but Rasmussen & Vissing are a bit hot and cold. Sargent isn't normally the best around Brough. Bickley has struggled badly the times he's been around our track and it will be Bailey's first visit. I think we will have too much for the tigers and i think we could win easier than people think. Fingers crossed.

Disagree with you Ruff. I thought Starkey done a great job. Paid for 10 from 4 rides and that was after a third in his 1st ride. What you expecting?????

Nice of you to praise the track when usually it is slagged off by the away supporters. Got to agree it was a great meeting and josh Pickering is box office. Balls of steel the way he rides the out side. I think from an Edinburgh supporters view the poor show from Wells and Palovaara must be disappointing.

I thought you got paid for how many points you scored in speedway

Agree.

I still think we can go through but should have been a lot closer.

Hope we can turn the deficit around from tonight. Garcia turned out to be a very poor guest. Not sure what was available but no doubt Lasse would have scored more than 1. I think Garcia score well when at Edinburgh with Berwick so maybe that was in the management's thinking. Don't even get me started about Phillips.

Is Phillips available for Sunday?

Ulrich must have lowered his demands. Lol Fair play to the Management in making a change. I know Ulrich has been very disappointing this season he is still a very capable rider and he had his best meeting of the whole season just before Redcar threw him out. Hopefully he can hit the ground running for us. Max at reserve will get him plenty of points. Just need Thomas and Lasse back to get up to full strength.

Apparently Ulrich is too expensive. Things don't look great if the rumours are true that the security staff were apparently told last night that they weren't getting paid no more but could work voluntarily. Anyone else hear this? Don't know how true it is.

Definitely. Wish there was more like him.

Matty been brilliant. Turns up and just gets on with his job. Mr reliable.

If that's the case then i wouldn't hesitate given our current situation

To be honest the fans just want to see that the management are seen to be doing something. Recently loads of teams in both leagues are shuffling their packs as riders aren't performing. All we get is the same old crap. "Who can we get". I rather have a youngster in who will improve.

That's what i thought

Surely lawlor will be on a 2.00 not sure about Coles. Maybe Glasgow will snap Coles up as Jack Thomas is taking a break from Speedway. Glasgow used Coles the other week and by all accounts were impressed with him.

Joe Lawlor and Connor Coles would be better options than Phillips. Both have improvement in them. They might not score a load of points at the minute but could still weigh in with 3 or 4 and that can make a difference.

Thanks Dave. Appreciate your honesty. Although others have been disappointing i definitely wouldn't have considered Phillips. With the greatest respect to him he is never going to make it at our level. He's been around a while now and not making any progress. Like you say it's all about opinions.

Give me an honest opinion Dave and tell me what you would do at this moment in time if you were still a promoter, because let's not kid ourselves plenty of fans as usual are becoming a bit disillusioned. If we are not careful our season will be over very soon.

So how much have we got to play with? I'd imagine clegg has put a bit on his average and maybe wethers
