Somerset Vs Workington Pl 14/09


Recommended Posts

Can only see a relatively comfortable Rebels win to be honest as the Comets main threats, Roynon and Howarth, are absent and the guests in place of them are poor. (No offence to Johnson but he's not cut for the PL in my opinion) And with R/R for Ingalls, I believe that only the reserves and Aarnio can take his rides which will surely be their downfall. I think the Comets top 2, Lawson and Bach, should keep it an interesting meeting but i'll go for a Rebels win by 10.

Jeez PR, i wondered when you was going to start this thread. Rebels need all 3 points tomorrow night first and formost. But if they find themselves in a position to give Worky a Tonking they must grab it with both hands, it will certainly help the points differnce.

Should be easy for Rebels against the Workington R/R guest select team. One of the many problems with speedway, that often due to so many injuries, you do not get to see the riders who are actually members of the home or visiting team. There are things that can be done to improve the situation but nobody running speedway seems to care.

 

Will not be there on Friday or next Wednesday and I know my charisma, personality and wit will be sorely missed. However may return on the 28th when hopefully the tuck shop will have grown some pasties.

Great result for the Rebels last night. Very impressed with Alex Davies performance showed plenty of agression off the start and plenty of speed. Starting to show the sort of form that persuaded the somerset promotion to buy his contract from Newport.

Good performance from Kyle Newman also, showed a lot more agression off the start into turn one, but still has the odd rush of blood to the head, sometimes needs to realise there's four laps to a race. Both lads are coming on well, but although both lads would be capable of steping up to the EL i feel both would benifit from another year at Somerset in the PL.

Very suprised the way Worky just rolled over, but 3 good points for the Rebels and a little help on the points difference front. Thery now have to wait and see where it takes them.

Have to say didn't expect too much from Worky before the match started but we went away, Worky really had the stuffing knocked out of them Tero into the fence in heat 5 and withdrawing meant that the R/R rides were left to the two reserves, Johnson obviously not up to PL standard and Morris. Morris top scorer with Bach, 9+1 against 9. Engine failure for Bach when on a six point win, Lawson puncture when on a six pointer.

 

Newman knocked off Morris in heat 2, it seemed he had the speed whereas Morris slowed down in the corner- clash, Newman rightly excluded, perhaps he should have chosen a different line but he didn't, easy with hindsight.

 

The big problem with last night was the time to run it, 2hr 20 min for 15 minutes of racing! Thankfully we didn't have an interval but where was the interest in speeding things along? So many people complaining, aside from the delays for injuries, lack of prompt two minutes, riders taking the pi** at the start with all this getting ready, what happended to respect for the start marshall not that he showed much interest in sorting the riders out.

 

Needs to be far slicker in my opinion, and they wonder why crowds go down! Oh the racing, some top drawer passes on the outside, not too bad a meeting racing wise but ruined by being so drawn out.
