Lord Lucan Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hopefully the first match will have us with 3pts safely in the bag and in a position of only requiring 1pt from this one to qualify for the place no one wants, maybe a bit tighter this match but I'll stick with a 3pts home win again!!

ruffdiamond Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 well, just make sure you abandon the first match in order to get a result from the second match if Newcastle turn up at Edinburgh tonight,,, no threads for it, a just suppose no-one can be rrr'st :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comet49 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 So predictable, wondered how long it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Can't make it, hope Mr Stead puts a few more on the crowd. Home wins for the Comets me thinks Fraid not Comet49, didn't look much above 400 to me, shame as Steady was class tonight, rolled back the years to a time when he would be doing this for us, but top marks to Kyle tho, never saw many riders pull an outside pass on Steady like that one then hold him off for 3 1/2 laps, brilliant stuff!! Did not see that happening!! Were the Tigers impressive or the Comets crap? Once Sheffield got dialled in they looked more together second time round, for what it's worth I think the turning point was the result coming through from Edinburgh that Newky didn't collect any points so as long as we didn't lose, then one point was good enough!! Stead/Wolbert the main architects but good support from Poole and Lanham kept Sheff well in it, tho to be fair, Comets were easing away and looking good for the second 3pts when the wheels came off a bit? Stupid exclusion for Josh for time wasting at the start and subsequently having to go off 15mtrs in Ht 13 while 8pts up, cost us the momentum, outgated by Stead/Wolbert, Kyle couldn't get close so moved aside for Josh to have a run but it came to nought, a shared ht after that set up the decider, same combo for Sheff, Josh/Rene for Comets but again, outgated, too quick around the park and neither Comet able to get a blow in? Sheff deserved something out of this meeting, rode more than well enough for that but, if not for that error, who's to say what would have transpired in Ht13 had Josh gone from the line, so I would say honours about even. Comets deffo looking jaded and we will need a huge improvement to trouble anyone in the play off, Josh still not where he was, Ricky getting better at two, Rene solid throughout, Mason tried hard but doesn't have the edge, Kyle looks to be coming on just fine at DP putting some really good wins together, Joe is improving and didn't get the pts he deserved tonight but Lambo definitely struggling, another fall knocked the stuffing out of him for this match and he was barely a passenger? Week off should help, no opponents for nxt Saturday as yet but we need a full outfit firing to give us a chance, we're stuck with it now so, we have to give it our best and hope it's good enough?

topaz325 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 A lot closer in this meet, again Stead was great and was well backed up by Wolbert and Poole not forgeting Lanham who seemed to be a different rider from the first meet. Thought the track stood up very well and was in great condition all evening, well done to all the track staff Good to see some Tigers fans at Derwent Park...thought they might have been put off after the last abandonment! So we qualify for the Play offs.....unless we improve our away performances i fear the worst... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgun Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Well we made the play offs but will we make it past first base unless we improve no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Why is Wells at 2? He should be at 4 or 5. Seems really odd to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Why is Wells at 2? He should be at 4 or 5. Seems really odd to me. Due to a drop in form, he was struggling at 5 for ages so it was decided to move the team around to try and get a better formula, seems to be improving him lately looks decidedly sharper while Howarth appears to be making a reasonable fist of Ht leader, at home at least?

comet49 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Well we made the play offs but will we make it past first base unless we improve no The Young Shield was ridiculed by some but they were good nights when we won and the season finished on a high. Would be nice if they could all click together but probably E v Som in final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
