LagutaRacingFan Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Extremely pleasing performance, The Panthers will only get stronger with a firing Fisher and Ales Dryml while the Monarchs will have Worrall out of the reserve positions. I'm extremely confident about beating Edinburgh over 2 legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTLAND1314 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Oi , this Jock is Panthers number 1 fan tonight And he was there... with his 'I love Ryan Fisher' T-shirt on... although I may have made that last bit up. :-) I thought Peterborough rode really well tonight and on another night may have gone home with at least a point. Granted there are a couple of Edinburgh riders not in the same form as earlier in the season but you can only beat what is in front of you. Ulich and Lasse were very good tonight largely from the gate but for me the star of the show for the away men was Lewis Blackbird. I thought he rode brilliantly. I originally wasn't a huge fan of the enforced NL reserves in the EL from a quality racing perspective but it does appear to be benefiting a few riders greatly. Edinburgh couldn't quite shake off Peterborough tonight and it was a last heat decider for a race point (for Peterborough) and the away men gated but somehow Cookie came from 3rd to 1st and Max 4th to third in a blurr of a 3rd 4th turn.

Paulco Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Pretty entertaining meeting . If Ryan Fisher had stayed on his bike for four laps and the Panthers management had engaged their brain , they might have actually nicked something out of this meeting . Edinburgh , for all their success this season , were there for the taking tonight . Fisher falling in heat 1 handed Edinburgh an opening 5-1 as Cook inexplicably slowed coming out of the second bend and dropped to the back in the first running , but normal service resumed in the rerun . Then 10 points down after heat 6 , they strangely neglected to give Ostergaard the black and white helmet in heat 7 and a big heat advantage was lost . In saying that , despite Fisher's misfortune and tactical ineptitude , the Panthers hung in there thanks to the brilliant Lewis Blackbird , backed up by the equally brilliant Bjerre and Ostergaard . Though the tactical ride comedy act continued when they sent Bjerre out with a black and white helmet to start heat 9 , despite only being 8 points down .............doh somebody noticed . But the three main men for Peterborough and the hard working Joe Jacobs kept the Panthers in with the sniff of a point right up to heat 15 . And in that race a 4-2 heat advantage was a possibility until Cook got passed Bjerre and Fricke did the same to Ostergaard . Cook was top man as usual despite not looking his usual sublime self . Richie Worrall was obviously busy tonight and Steve was sent in his place to dent the scoring power from reserve a bit . Fricke had a fall , but was good after . Masters had his problems with the referee and Sedgmen was efficiently effective . Fox had two good rides and two not so good rides and Sneddon was poor . Probably Peterborough's three man team have pushed the Monarchs harder than anybody , in their own midden , so far this season . If only Ryan Fisher had ridden as i hoped he would have . And they ran out of chips by heat 6 Edited June 27, 2014 by Paulco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Well we made hard work of that one that for sure. We weren't as good as we have been in previous weeks slugish from the starts and lacking speed. Don't know if it was down to track conditions as it seemed slicker and a little less dirt on it than usual. But we got all 3 points in the end which is all that mattered. Bjerre and Ostergaard were very sharp away from the gate tonight and looked quick but if Ostergaard missed it he was pants. Blackbird was the most impressive rider for the panthers tonight IMO and deserved his double figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Reckon we were fortunate that Panthers were unable to track a full team from the start and then lost Fisher who had two falls.. Had they steered clear of injuries, the Monarchs were there for the taking tonight. Deek was shocking tonight and started by taking Max out to the fence in ht3 and finished with messing up Fox in ht14 and meekly letting an overworked Jacobs through for a 1- 5 to the visitors. Mind you if our team manager had any tactical nous, he would have had Worrall in for Sneddon in ht 14. With Worrall now moving up from reserve and DS taking his place, Monarchs will be losing their secret weapon and their 21 unbeaten run will probably end at Redcar on Thursday.

Chris Hutcheson Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 It was a strange performance last night, only three last places and it was still close. I'm not sure of his average but if we could drop Deek for Joe Tabaka, I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's plain for everyone to see that Deek's only in the team just now for his ability as a captain. I'd love if he turned it on from reserve and fought to get back in the team like last season, but I feel there have been to many false dawns already. Aaron has shown me enough to say he will improve a lot as a rider, extremely tidy. He will be likely to have off nights this year, especially away, but would definitely stick with him.

If Deek can put 0.69 on his average next month then we can bring in wee joe at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it might have been better to have got the tactical ride earlier it still produced 6 points and that's the most you can ever get from a tactical ride.

I remember Jim Lynch using that one when my mate discussed with him after a match at Kings Lynn that timing was just as important as getting 6 from the ride, perhaps why it's called tactical ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as when the opportunity first arose it was against probably the weakest Edinburgh pairing of Sam Masters and Aaron Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) You'll be able to bring in Agent Wolbert. You would be as well letting them go the full hog as 21 matches unbeaten is clearly not good enough for the oh so smug ones and let them bring Schlein in for Fox sure Alex will find a way .

Then all the stupid rules brought in for Sky will have been outed (and we can have the yellow and black back as well. It would also make team managers work a bit like they used to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
