Redcar V Berwick Pl 10 July 2014


Recommended Posts

Bandits well and truly back on form!

Don't over egg it Scott.

 

A win is a win and an away win is a real bonus. Redcar is the weakest I have seen it for a while, weakened even more by it's recent changes, but The Bandits will have to keep their heads focussed, as stearner test are to come, especially at home. I remember Eric Boocock saying when Hull won the league, we were in the right place at the right time, opposition had riders out, r/r reserve guests accidents on the night etc, etc,

 

But, a very well done to the lads, a good win when it counts.

you have a point however,1)he's a local lad2) scoring points at home3) handy 3 pointer for 2015

We have to give Liam time,IMO we won't win anything(hope I am wrong though) but dropping a 3point man doesn't make sense,if you really want to win they should be looking further up the averages,although Personaly don't think it is worth changing anything.Just sign Claus,Steen and David now for team building next season with Liam.

I agree, I`d be quite happy to drop Carr or any other rider for that matter, if there was a better alternative but the truth is there isn't. To replace one three pointer who will struggle to achieve a three point average with another just doesn't make sense, we could drop another rider, Doolan, Wethers for example, but again its difficult to see a better rider out there, not unless Berwick take a gamble on an assessed five or seven point rider and risk what they have built on so far this season. Maybe another club will be making changes soon that may free up a rider worth while looking at but for the foreseeable future we should stay as we are.

Agree with most of it, I wouldn't change much, as there ain't much out there to make the changes. Liam will come, stick with him, don't know about Steen, struggles in the main body, OK at reserve, Kus however does aswell in the main body but gets the bonus rides at reserve building his confidence, I would stick with him aswell.

Jensen was outstanding at redcar in what was a solid team effort from the top 6 as for liam hopefully the points will come on his away travels certainly can"t fault him for lack of effort

100 % effort from Steen cannot fault him, one seriously hard trier, does his job. As usual he was probably over egged to start with, he is a 5 pointer or thereabouts, and as long as he achieves his average he is doing his job. Liam will improve, what would have happened if Berwick hadn't stuck out the first 3 years with Dougie Templeton.

Steen would make good second string at the start of next season,he is doing well considering he has not been to many of the tracks in Premier League,and he is an entertaining rider.Kus is a enigma IMO . Edited by Fromafar

If his excellent 10+1 from four rides on Thursday was Steen Jensen struggling, heaven help the opposition when he gets going.

Fully agree Liam Carr is a keeper, those who seek to dump him have little grasp of reality. But Doug Templeton's name surprises me, as he was 44 years old when he joined the club in the twilight of a great career.

 

Maybe you meant Wayne Brown? Another rider who Berwick gave an extended run to at an early part of his career was Kevin Little.

 

Liam to stay, indeed after three four-pointers away from home, madness for fans-with-calculators to propose any changes just "because we can". Leave well alone, please!

More likely to be Willie Temp.

I think you are correct, way before my time in speedway. I got the wrong rider, but the point I was making was correct.

Look, I did not say he was struggling, I said he was a 5 pointer or there abouts and is doing his job. The problem with being selective with scores, is you do not mention the times he scored a low score.

Steen would make good second string at the start of next season,he is doing well considering he has not been to many of the tracks in Premier League,and he is an entertaining rider.Kus is a enigma IMO .

Enigma perhaps, but isn't doing a bad job so far this season, a slow start but improving week by week.

Would agree that he is doing a decent job ,but you can never predict his next against any standard of opposition,beats the best then gets beat with the worst all in the same meeting hence enigma.
