Sheffield Vs Berwick Pl 11-9-2014


Recommended Posts

after another away defeat at Sheffield this time bandits will have to win away from home in the play -offs unless its a early exit

Little or no chance of an away win in the play offs IMHO ,as we'll most likely have the Monarchs to deal with and whoever else they pick , but qualification for the play offs and a 4 th place finish is in itself progress on previous seasons

Edinburgh will pick up the six points tonight that will put them top. I suspect their first pick will be Workington, leaving Somerset to choose Berwick. Edinburgh will then pick Scunthorpe, leaving you with Ipswich.

Decent point for Berwick, but should've been more had Vissing performed as a number one should.

 

 

It's frustrating because he was untouchable last night,has had a decent season though.

 

Worn himself out, the effort of scoring a 15pt max against us was just too much of a burden to carry forward!! :D

Virtually all of Berwick`s play-off rivals have won at Sheffield this season, so the club must be disappointed not to do the same, though after recent efforts away from home a point is at least an improvement. Good performances from Bellego, Doolan and Kus, quite how our No1 can go from looking untouchable one night to his performance last night is a mystery, also it looks like we have lost our scoring power from the reserve position.

I think to be fair Tigers are a much better team now that early to mid season. Berwick have just lost that shapness in recent weeks but a good season all same for your folks including 5 away wins, as good as anybody but the Monarchs.. Not looked at table but think Berwick end 1 point behind Ipswich so needed just a win of any kind last night not four points as on Berwick release??

Somerset will also get points tonight, so it won't be settled until the weekend.

 

What might be clearer after tonight is who will be sixth, if Peterborough don't get a win at Plymouth, that'll open the door for Workington.

 

Scunthorpe will be last team picked. Neither of the top two will want them in their section. They're in form, they don't carry a travelling support and are a Friday track, meaning fixture hassles for either choosing club.

I was under the impression that today was the cut off date?

Scunthorpe have a couple of off race nights don't they?

Berwick have a very good side for Owlerton so that was a good win for the Tigers and pity about heat 15 that we didn't take all the points but Bellego was on it all night and super fast. Great performance by Ben who's getting better every meeting at Owlerton and Steady who was excellent as usual and good points from the others, fair to say most people were surprised with the man of the match choice given Nico only scored 3 :o

 

Regarding the Playoffs, I saw Berwick at Shielfield on Saturday against Scunny and last night and they don't quite look as strong as they did earlier in the season, particulary out of the starting gate. Maybe saving themselves for the playoffs but will need a big improvement to advance past either Edinburgh or Somerset.
