Lord Lucan Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Well what a piss poor effort that looks, three riders scoring but only one in double figures, two tac rides in the first 8 races 1-8 and 2-7 and still get mullered, still, looking on the bright side, that's half the PL programme done!! No point looking for excuses we weren't at the races really at all and Ipswich can only beat what's in front of them which, disappointingly, wasn't very much, if we qualify for the play offs on this form I can see "every" team wanting to pick us, too many riders not up to the job away from home, dont know why it is but we simply dont seem capable of competing with the top teams and until we do we need'nt look at the silverware? Need some sort of redemption later on today v Glasgow but I'm afraid that scenario is beginning to wear a bit thin, we cant carry on just winning at home to appease the disappointment of another poor away performance, standards have to improve while Comets still have a crowd left to race in front of, season is falling apart!!

em1500uk Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I went to this meeting last night and kinda wish I hadn't bothered! I had thought Workington would do a lot better than what they did. They were truly awful. I left after heat 13 as I just couldn't stick it any longer! As a neutral there last night, I certainly did not feel entertained in the slightest. That's the worst meeting I've seen at Foxhall for sure.

Baldyman Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I did try to tell everyone they wouldn't be any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I did try to tell everyone they wouldn't be any good. So what do you want, "a medal"!! Wishful thinking on my part rather than certainty we would challenge for a point, hoping that as we had previously won easily down there a bit of confidence would have embued the performance, unfortunately that wasn't the case and the standard Comets on the road v top opposition version turned up instead? Cant put too fine a point on it but we simply dont have the firepower on track as it looked like we had on paper when it was first drawn up, it all looked so wonderful and lots of people agreed but you cant have everything, injuries haven't helped but it's been the lack of pure improvement of too many riders that has stalled this team this year, too many saving their best for other teams, too many missed matches causing too many inconsistent performances? I doubt we'll be in the shake up, confidence too shot for that really just need to regroup, do as best we can and at least try and finish on a high with a view to next season and "hope" we can get it right next time?
