CardinalSin Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Not sure about this one. The good news for us is that it's not a day meeting! The concern for me is the returning Manzares and how fit and ready he is. We saw how badly Hawkins was off the pace the first couple of meetings back from injury especially that first meeting back at Peterborough, so I'd much rather Manzares was eased back in against easier opposition than Glasgow! It's risky especially with Heeps also missing so fingers crossed he's fit and on the pace because we'll need him to be. He's the key, if he's amongst the points then I think we'll win, if he's off the pace then it could well be back to back home losses which would be a disaster. Can see Glasgow picking up a point at least in either scenario. They've got a good record at Foxhall in recent seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I dont think there is an easy match as such in the PL but if were choosing one to follow a defeat then it woukdnt be this one!! Glasgow look very solid and have riders with a decent Foxhall record so will be tough to beat. With having to use r/r for Cam then we cant afford to risk Gino if there is any doubt as to his fitness. Hopeful of Ritchie banging in a decent home score to cement his turn around seen on the road. Witches to win by 5-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 So do we put gino at 2 or go with rr at 2? If Glasgow go with morris and smith at 1 and 2 I think that's a pretty potent pairing and could score plenty of heat advantages. That then leaves them weaker in middle order paring. I'm not so Worried about gino as much as I am about nico having an off night.,then we would be in trouble. On paper we easily have the stronger reserves, and that should be enough to see us win. I can also see rr scoring more than cam probably would have. Summers has never been anything but average at foxhall. Add all that together and I think we win by 12- 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can immediately think of two where you could afford to have a couple of riders have an off day and still win comfortably at home.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 hence the 'as such' at the end of the highlighted sentence!! There either is easy matches or there isn't, no as such about it. Unfortunately there are meetings at home you'd call "easy" TBF, in an ideal world there wouldn't be any and all meetings home and away would be tight fought meetings. It can't be good for the likes of Redcar and Plymouth who can't even win at home let alone be competitive on the road. Their support will only take so much I'd imagine.

Arch Stanton Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Try telling Rob Godfrey that! Very true! But I was thinking more from an Ipswich point of view or one of the more fancied sides. I'd liken a meeting between Scunny and Redcar to two bald men fighting over a comb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Perhaps I was being a bit diplomatic and also trying to avoid egg on face when we struggle in one of the supposed 'easy' matches It just goes to show that all generalisafions are wrong! wink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Back to the meeting , the weather forecasts are distinctly less than promising , at least 3 of the 4 I've checked basically predict rain , rain and more rain . Should it go ahead however I would imagine it could well be a tight meeting with Glasgow at least getting something out of it , although a few of the Witches are likely to be feeling they have something to prove after their last home performance . Should be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
