Sheffield V Glasgow 08/08


Recommended Posts

Looking forward to my trip down to Owlerton today ..Will be interesting to see how Anders goes round the fast track and Dakota North...A tigers win for sure....but which one will come out on top? Hopefully a good close meeting as both our teams are having a mare of a season :)

I think Sheffield will edge this one, but i feel it will be a very close contest. Once rider who could be key for Glasgow.. and a rider who i rate highly - Joe Jacobs, not sure how he goes around Owlerton but the lad is a bit of a weapon at reserve.

Unfortunately he has been a damp squib at reserve other than in April. Generally picks up a couple of points in ht2 then does nothing thereafter. Glasgow are far too inconsistent to predict anything, a respectable 40 points would do.

Who cares... Lost interest last season and it has not really returned... we never missed meetings and was there week in week out rain or shine but from 2011 the product put in front of me has been sub standard...

 

last season i think i made about 10 meetings and so far this season i have done 6 team meetings out of 13.

 

I actually think we will struggle tonight Glasgow are dreadful but we do look worse on paper...

What will Jimmy Greaves do that's the key.

James Grieves can be a bit moody at Owlerton, Screeny likes Sheffield so i expect he will have a few points in him tonight.

 

For Sheffield I think Andre will only get better, Im expecting a slightly higher score from him tonight, and I suspect Roynon will pick up where he left off - he's been a great addition for us, really like and rate him. Facu may still be a little sore so we may not see the best of him tonight, but thats understandable.

So when have we seen the best of Frankie. He always looks down on power to me. A lot of effort and gut's, but not a lot of end product I am not being critical of him just my opinion.

Think it will be close,expect to carry Branford so the others are under pressure to perform if we going to win.If facu had more power I think he would get more points.He gets in good positions to pass then goes backwards.Getting fed up of watching a Sheffield select every week.Wish we could get a couple of riders in.

Disappointing result for Glasgow, even though we are rubbish thought we could maybe sneak a league point tonight. We seem to have been in the hunt until the retirees ride in ht13. Dakota North seems to have ridden well and given us some respectability, if only we could keep him for next year.

Well done Sheffield dug in and got a good win. Frankie rode with a lot of determination, the bike looked a lot better to-night. Andre gave us a glimpse of the past to-night. Great.

Son and I are not bothering for rest of season, amazed we've stuck it out till last week, the whole package is lacking considerably.

 

Shame on you.

This was a decent meeting and watching Andre 'skim' the boards like days of old, was worth the admission alone.

Also nice to see some fire in the bellies of the team management.

And some team riding 'to boot'

Special mention to Adam, Facu and our adopted Tiger Richard.

All a bit slow at the start but came through to do the business

It was great to see Andre riding round the boards like the old days and I also noticed he was on a shiny new bike after Heat 8 onwards. Would be good to see him back next year from the start of the season. I agree with what other people have said about Facundo Albin; he's a very good rider and puts himself into good overtaking positions but he just doesn't seem to have enough 'oomph' in his engine to make the passes stick. Put him on a fast bike and I reckon he'd be a 6-7 point rider pretty much everywhere. Credit to Ricky Wells for a great race as well, coming from the back and passing both Glasgow riders in a safe and smooth style. The talent is clearly there.

Enjoyable meeting, good racing and Andre not giving us a glimpse of the past but a glimpse of the future, He's getting dialled in now, both he and Adam are getting better every week sign em both for next season now if possible.
