Najjer Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Give over with regards Olly Allen being dangerous - there is a fine line between being very hard, which there is no doubt Olly is, and being dangerous. The way we saw heat 4 from where we were stood was that it was clear where Olly was heading and Douglas kept going with him, kept going, kept going and eventually went down like a sack of spuds where he realised he had no room. Correct decision, and similar in heat 7 although I can see why Todd would be slightly aggrieved being his team mate. A good showing from Scunthorpe who were a lot better than their score line suggests. Klindt was good value and flew round in his first couple, and both Douglas and Jorgensen mixed it and deserved much more than their tallys suggest. Jorgensen was leading both heat 2 and heat 4 before the red lights coming on and not being able to repeat it in the rerun. What has happened to David Howe and Josh Auty though? Couldn't believe how poor they both were and both seem to have lost their bottle somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I think you have pretty much said what most of us are thinking. Again tonight Josh on 3pts; I have a theory on Josh which says that the busier he is ie; doubling up with Birmingham in the EL last season...the better he is. Sometimes you just need to be in 'the zone' in speedway and too much time spent waiting for the next meeting to come around won't help your form. Speedway riders generally need to be out there racing; and that breeds confidence. You score 3pts and then the next meetings a week away. Except in this particular instance Josh can put it right at Glasgow on Sunday; and he is certainly very capable of doing exactly that. At the moment without Nicolai the going would be even tougher and to be honest, if Anders Mellgren confirms a return then a 'decision' would need to be made as if we are aspire to the 'play-offs' then both of them would probably be in the team. So depending on averages someone would be stood down. Back to tonight Ash(6) and David(5) filled in the middle order as you expect; but with Josh down and Ryan tweeting he rode his nuts off for just 4pts its a tall order against Rebels who have scored freely at home this season. To be honest I would not get too down (although the riders will be frustrated) because we can pick it up at Glasgow on Sunday and win there. But I do agree with other posters that something does not feel quite right at the moment; although I am certain everyone is working hard to keep the Scorpions on track in this ultra competitive 2014 Premier League. Edinburgh i can understand being smug and confident but if you think a win tomorrow is a foregone conclusion then i would think again.

Blackbird Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Great meeting on Friday! Best racing I've seen for a long time! Top marks to both sides. Can someone do me a favour? The youngster who came out at the end to do a few practice laps along with Henry Atkins..? What was his name - couldn't catch what the announcer said.
