Baldyman Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Witches to take a point I think. If we have ambitions to actually lift the trophy, we have to come to these places and keep it close. You are correct, and it would mean we are serious contenders. I think we are again slightly stronger with rr for gino on a track like this. Again if gino has his eyes set on making it to the top, he needs plenty of track time getting used to tracks like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Effectively a 4 man team got within 7 points of Sheffield , we might even have won if just 1 more rider had come to the party ! Ah well , hopefully revenge will be sweet on Monday . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 well our number 5 could have helped out a bit more and Ritchie still hasn't got going either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 What the hell are we gonna do from Monday when we can't call on Covatti as a reserve to come in and bail us out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icicle Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hopefully Hawkins at reserve may wake him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Happy with that, thought we were at risk of losing again. Just need to get Ash going - overheard him talking to Ermolenko saying that he had his engine serviced again because he just can't get it off the line, unfortunately it wasn't any better for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerowl Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thought Ipswich were a bit unlucky tonight. If Heeps hadn't crashed in heat 11 we might have been in a bit of bother. Love watching Danny King ride and I was very impressed with Nielsen. Tungate rode better than his score suggested and Covatti was a bit up and down Thanks to Cookie for another professional job and great efforts from Jason and Andre to win it for us. Bit worried by Ashley and Ty but hope they will come good soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel'n'Back Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Really rate Danny King, one of my favourite riders, also think the promotion last year signed the wrong Nielsen! As with Ashley, not sure if it's bikes or mindset but hopefully he will get it sorted soon but I think Ty's downfall is that he tries too hard and, unfortunately, comes to grief! Problem for the promotion could be when Bellego is fit, do we keep Garrity or do we let someone go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 A tough night as I expected.There are some good sides about this year in the premier league.Ipswich deserved a point.If Nielsen and heeps hadn't fallen they would have got it.Covatti did what I expected and kept them in contention,see what happens when he moves up into the top 5.As for our lads Cookie Compton and Garritty were good value,bates and sissis did their job but im a bit concerned over Ty s home form,you cant knock his effort but he doesn't look comfortable on the bike.I think he s capable of bigger scores than he s getting.Ash is struggling big time at the moment,dont know if its mechanical or mental problems,just hope he can get sorted as soon as possible.His points were gifts last night.Good luck to all the lads tonight lets hope we can get something from the meeting.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Frustrating to again seem to throw away the chance of points. Very early days but its looking a bit like deja vu with a very good looking team just falling a little short of whats really needed to pull off a trophy win. Well done to the Tigers - Cook proving his worth as a top guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 On present showings, keep Garrity and let Birks go.Agree with that on present form. However should Birks 'sort his engines and head', Proctor looks to be vulnerable. Think there's too much pressure on him (self imposed) as he has to achieve a seven point average to maintain his visa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonian Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Good win for the tigers last night, although Ipswich should of snuck a point but for falling riders. That 8-1 certainly made the score more respectable though as the tigers were 12 infront before that. Cookie was a great guest again, shame we cant call upon him every week! Compton and Garrity were impressive again, reserves did what is expected of them although would like to see Josh get some bigger scores. Arthur looking better every week. Proctor certainly can't be faulted for his effort and rode much better than what he scored last night. Ash is the only slight concern at the moment. Since Steady's injury he seems to of lost confidence and by the sounds of it, having some bike trouble too. Managed to catch him on the Biker FM show on tuesday night and he sounded very downbeat and not happy with how things are going for him. Hopefully he can turn it around because he's someone who i'd love to see succeed at Sheffield! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
