Glasgow V Sheffield Lc Semi 1st Leg 30 June 2015


Recommended Posts

Another evening fixture and the same 2 teams that fought out the last one although not being filmed by Sky this time. No news of the teams as yet but it looks as if young James sergeant will still be missing placing a lot of pressure on David Howe and the 2 reserves. Simon Stead is obviously missing but Bellego should make an appearance (missed last one) and Compton and garrity can fly round ashfield. Birks looked good on the TV recently so could be a hard one to call.

Dislocated shoulder

Seems like we need a new rider. The shoulder issue has been ongoing for a while and is unlikely to cure itself. The logic for signing Howe was sound, no work permit required, no doubling up or foreign commitments and knew all the tracks. However we are back to the drawing board and struggling in the middle order, available riders will be hard to come by.

 

I've noticed that Anders Thomsen is going ok and won the Euro U21 semi final last night. He is frustrating little bugger but on a better deal where he isn't paying his own air fares, could he do a job for us? I'm lost for potential riders otherwise!

Anders Thomsen has a contract with Rawicz in Poland on a Sunday, so any move to Glasgow would be doubtful, for this season anyway.

Depends whether or not he rides for them on a regular basis.

 

You can be contracted to a Polish team, does not necessarily means you are going to be riding week in week out.

Shoulder injuries are nasty ended a few riders career,think it could be the end for him given the trouble over the last few seasons.wish him a good recovery though.

I hope your not right on that one. Totally echo the wish for a good recovery.Would be good to see him bow out on his own terms rather than being forced by injury.

 

It does however bring into focus the MC decision to sanction him as a replacement as it significantly enhances the r/r / guest /new rider options . This is the real impact of choosing not to implement the available regulation at redeclaration.
