stevebrum Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Surely this is a match the Aces should be targeting for all 4 points if they have serious ambitions of the top 4 thus season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Well done to the Aces in becoming the latest team to win at one of the 2 poorer sides this year. Certainly puts them back in contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Well done to the aces, a win against any side away is good. Sadly the leagues in tatters week in week out There are more replacements than a schnide catalogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 How wrong was the ref in heat 2? everyone in the stadium could see Ellis had pipped Morley on the line. That error alone would have given us the draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 A closely fought match with some excellent races, and a deserved win for the Aces select side.. .On a personal note i was pleased with my grandson, Ben Morley,s performance beating both,Boxall and Ellis twice and making another point on being released by the Hammers this season in favour of Adam Ellis ? ..Dissapointed with A.J,s performance is he worth the probable huge fee he gets,? seems to leave his gating boots abroad... Impressed with Kennet and Nillson and Lawson who was a little unlucky tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Good for Ben last night. The Lakeside forum is asking similar questions about Ben v Adam. With all due respect to Adam, he isn't delivering upon the potential that he initially demonstrated. In contrast, towards the latter part of last season, Ben was returning some crucial race wins at home. And it is consistently our poor returns from the reserve berths that's costing us points - particularly in those meetings at home, involving close scorelines such as last night. Well done to The Aces on a fine away win. It may have been a makeshift team but you can only beat the opposition - albeit the terms 'Lakeside' and 'Opposition' don't really sit very comfortably together this season. Our away performances in particular, have been woeful since Rico passed over in my opinion. There just doesn't seem to be any passion, commitment or leadership. And now, here in 2015, a raft of teams are visiting our 'trick track' (whatever one of them really is) knowing that basically, we are there for the taking. Roll on 2016.................and hopefully The Premier League. We wouldn't need to make many team changes, would we! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice Of Reason Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 To be fair, it must be a very difficult decision at times - given that a referees box is generally (and definitely in Lakeside's case) located straight in line with the tapes and provides a completely unobstructed view. Reminds me of the time at Wimbledon when Frank Ebdon excluded Paul Whittaker (who'd been blatantly shoved off) whilst not even watching the race; preferring, heaven knows why, to be engaged in conversation with Russell Lanning. As it was an outside, open-air box that evening, I don't think I ever remember my old man, in his 60's then, getting so 'vocal' in condemnation of two fellow human-beings. Mr Ebdon in particular looked quite embarrassed following a tirade of such choice vocabulary from the east end. Happy days, eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressed with Kennet and Nillson and Lawson who was a little unlucky tonight... I like Ben and he rode well last night but only Barbara Horley thought he beat Adam in Heat 2. Standing on the backstraight opposite the start line, everyone had filled in their programmes as a 2 - 4 with Adam second. In speedway terms, it wasn't even that close. Anyone going to use that new fangled thingy internet and let us know what Jon Cook wrote with his quill pen in the programme. Or did everyone buying a programme tonight have to sign an oath of silence in blood. It is on the Hammers' website http://www.lakesidehammers.co/the-cook-report/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 We can bring back Ben and it might make a slight difference but it is failings at reserve that have resulted in four home defeats. Our 1-5 have outscored the opposition each time but their good work has been undone through lack of points at the lower end. Wolves 3 - 16, Coventry 6 - 12, Poole 5 - 15 and Belle Vue 7 - 13. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wasn't Coventry's with Ritchings instead of Sarjeant 😱 I agree that changes definitely need to be made at reserve but the question is who do you bring in? I was very surprised when Lakeside protected Ellis in the draft as didn't stand out much last year Imo and came off too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Good to see Aaron Summers getting some points, and shame that Richard unfortunately having more mechanical problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stummings Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Ben is a very good rider in the NL, he struggles in the PL with Redcar. If he was to move back to Purfleet then he will certainly score points around at home, away from home i don't think he will. The whole idea i thought on keeping Adam Ellis was his better away form. Dark days at the moment for Arena but I'm sure as Alan Partridge said they'll 'bounce back'..... :t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Wow! Belle Vue won away. Can we use that team every week... please! All those that scoffed at our team before last night's result - IN YOUR FACE!!!!! Don't worry about the sport's current state, a Belle Vue away win has to be good for speedway. Nah... several guests and a lower than average Lakeside crowd... people will always moan. If all teams chose their guests as well as Belle Vue did last night, speedway wouldn't have any losers. Now... who's in our team next time? Edited May 30, 2015 by moxey63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
