jackson2 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yep I think all off the teams will want Leicester lions they have started to crumble only one rider putting up a fight is Nemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Another factor in play is that Claes will return to the second string spot and the Guest for Richie as senior reserve will return as from 1st October. Depending on who's available that could strengthen us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on who's available that could strengthen us. Not as many options now I don't think, around that mark of 5.78 and below are wilko, newman, deek, scramm, tressarieu, Haines. Don't think that may strengthen us really....be interesting to see what Taylor pooles ave is as he must have slipped below 6 and possibly 5.78...

DiamondsRock Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 We need to pick the teams, so that the one's which could beat us on aggregate can be knocked out before the final. Would take Leicester for a hopeful away win. Probably also pick Edinburgh, and hope that neither Leic / Edin win away (and we win all our home matches) to see us through.

eric i Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) What happens if teams are level on points, does it come down to points difference or league position to decide who reaches the final.

lucifer sam Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 In Newcastle's 46-44 narrow defeat at Leicester on June 9th, it was only for Worralls (with 26 points between them) who kept the scores close. Lemo scored 3.... while Robbo scored just a single point. With both Worralls injured, I'm not sure that the Diamonds will pick Leicester as their first choice.  In any case, hoping for a Diamonds v Scunny final; they are the best two teams in the league, so I hope they are the finalists.  All the best Rob   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â As a Scunny man are you attempting some reverse psychology here. If so I can't see Newcastle falling for it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Are these matches aggregate point ? because that would affect choices . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I can't see Newcastle falling for it .  Not really - if I was I would be doing it with all the subtlety of a brick We'll beat whoever we have in the play-off groups  But was interested when I came across the scorers from this meeting yesterday. I assumed until then that Newcastle would, given the choice, take Leicester as their first pick. Then I looked what Robbo and Lemo scored there last time and thought, maybe not after all.  Not to say that they still won't - but it's certainly not a clear-cut choice.  All the best Rob  Are these matches aggregate point ? because that would affect choices .  Speedibee, it's the same scoring system as in the league i.e. no aggregate points.  All the best Rob Edited September 22, 2012 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Skid Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Choosing the right Guests is going to decide everything, looking at Scunny last night, Bunyan scoring 13 at number 3 on a 5.14 will be a very busy boy till the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Do you honestly think they will score 4 between them again?? Â I would say it's very, very unlikely, because they are two classy riders. Â Probably their worst score of the season in both cases; all riders have some tracks that they don't like as much as others.

scotchopper Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 will newcastle go for easiest opponent or potentially biggest crowd puller for the cash. Â got a feeling they might go with the latter and pick edinburgh. they may go for workington and hope to get edinburgh as the 2nd pick as you would think scunthorpe will pick leicester. Â the only way i see it not being that is if newcastle pick worky and scunthorpe pick edinburgh as they won at the dale. assuming newcastle pick leicester we'd end up with 3 friday night teams in the same section. that would be a mess so another reason to carve it up to a north-south divide. Â looking at our scores the only place we have struggled at is workington and they are in a bit of a mess so not really worried who we get!

I'm sure Newcastle won't pick teams just to avoid there being 3 fri teams in the other group....if they are serious about winning it they will pick whoever they feel is best for them ( I hope)after all it's not a charity or meaningless competition.....pick Leicester, then worky or Edinburgh, whichever the scorpions don't....pretty sure no one will pick Somerset first  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
