Lord Lucan Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Poor match, some good races but overall poor, mainly gate and gone for the Comets, Rye missed the resolve of Bunyan big time at the bottom end, cant run rider replacement with such weak reserves and expect to do anything major, a contribution from him, aka like last week, and Rye would have been a lot closer even with only 3 riders!! Greenwood to be fair tried hard just outclassed a little bit, Fox was awful did next to nothing, Compton looked a bit better this time but still easily beaten off, no idea what's happened to Steve Boxall, a shadow of whom he once was, had a couple of good races but never looked like getting by anyone, Garrity was pretty good, worth his points but should have won at least one race but Kennett easily the stand out and involved in nearly all Rye's best races!! Comets tho looked about as hungry for a win as I've seen in weeks, huge improvement in body language showed in the determination to try and win every race, good points spread throughout so a nice payday for most with surely a boost in confidence to boot. Happy with the win and the 3pts, nice start to the night's proceedings!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Lucan Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 As I predicted and expected. Would have agreed with you Shadders if I'd known that Bunyan wasn't riding, when you saw what an experienced rider like David Howe did from reserve in the follow up meeting, you cant help but think what might have been?

Difference is David Howe isn't looking for a move away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Difference is David Howe isn't looking for a move away Maybe not but I would expect Bunyan to be professional and put some effort in for you after all, he proved he can go well on this track and as you suggested earlier, points means money but then, you know the intrigue of Rye House far better than I ever will!!

You saw the professional rider last week guesting for Glasgow, 16 points, and helped hammer the Comets, probably find there are two sides to every story, there won't be any better 4.5 riders around next year.

scaramanga Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 all this talk about riders looking for jobs so ride better when guesting well for me if a rider only rides well when hes trying to impress then he wouldnt be welcome in my team riders are judged by there good and also there poor perfermance so dosnt really pay to only try when guesting for another club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I can only go on what I see of most riders when they visit DP and JB was excellent value for the appearance which is why I gave Rye a bit of a chance of a reasonable score yesterday if he'd been in it, as for the highlighted bit I'm sure Shadders will know, the all seeing eye knows everything!!
