Panthers V Somerset 31/08


Recommended Posts

We have cut off our nose and have ended up spiting our face.

Robert Lambert held this team together, such a dreadful performance.

 

As for Carl's quote at the, 'you don't become a bad team overnight'

If this team had started the season we would be nowhere

 

Thomsen looks a class act, Palm Toft and Ulrich on the other hand...

My other half who is not a speedway fan, said he would take me tonight.

Panthers riders are so slow out of the gate, track poor.

Really disappointed in the whole meeting, it wasn't worth the entrance money.....

Wish we had stayed at home..........

Cant remember the last time I read a negative post from you so it must of been bad , when was the last time the track was praised by anyone its been poor for years

Robert Lambert was riding in Germany tonight so wouldn't of been there anyway he didnt hold the team together he tore it apart by not being reliable enough by turning up and showed no respect for anyone the rest of your post id agree with Edited by scoobydoo

Finished in front of Jason Doyle and was selected for ht15 , in two races tonight he beat his shadow and wasnt worthy of ht 15 not good enough for a number one on his own track

Finished in front of Doyle?

Doyle was his team mate!

 

In all 5 of his races there were only 3 finishers! Must be some kind of a record.

 

He didn't beat ANY Coventry riders.

 

Probably only got heat 15 because the next highest scorer had 4.

 

I watched him at Ippo last week and he was miles off the pace.

 

So I repeat, I think he has come back too soon.

We have been turned over easily for the last 3 matches so it wasn't just a bad day at the office I'm afraid..MPT hasn't been half the rider he was since he blew his best engine about 2 months ago, Lambert been riding out of his skin all season but may struggle at no2, Grondal is still finding his way into this league so is gonna struggle away, Konopka is konopka so unfortunately that don't leave us with much hope...interesting that Xavier Muratet (french grass/longtrack rider) was practising after..they wouldn't replace Konopka would they?

Being a Saturday evening also took my other half who is not a speedway fan and she asked me towards the end why I was looking so miserable! Actually, I expected a Rebels win but not such a disappointing and weak performance from the Panthers. In particular I cannot understand why so many of our riders are continually so bad at gating. I have now seen Ipswich, Plymouth, Edinburgh and now Somerset take us to the cleaners on our own track and invariably their riders being in front from the first corner. (Our guys perhaps need a training session from Greg or Nikki.)

 

Sadly,I think we don't stand a chance against any other team in the play-offs. On current form we do not even deserve to be there and before anyone jumps down my throat I am not a defeatist, just a realist. To be fair to Barker and Thomsen they did O'K but the rest have completely lost their early season form and most disappointing of all is that it appears their determination and will to win has disappeared.

How can the track be so crap after the rain put some moisture in it ? Think we need a new track man, because it was gate & go & the normal excuse we get on a Sunday afternoon has gone out the window. Not that I am making excuses for our performance, because we were awful out the gate all night. Even Brady Kurtz made no impression when he missed the gate, & god help the chance of any newcomers coming back after watching that rubbish.

as barker said on the mic if they ride like that they'll be going nowhere ,

 

it was all just a noise.

I didn't think that the track was that bad. One team was at the races and the other wasn't. It could have been the best prepared track in the world but we'd have still struggled for 5 (yes 5) race winners on our own circuit.

the winning times suggest there was nothing up with the track (it was grippy) ,zummerset had no problem with it panthers were so poor out the gate it beggars belief

The lack of a proper number 1 is what is biting is imo.

 

As for Grondal being a triumph card at reserve he was dire

M.P.T is the worse has been pants for weeks (I went after heat 13) so never seen 14 , for all the effort ged and co and put in some riders should be ashamed of themselves esp our captain , barker wasn't impressed with his heat 13 exploits either , we keep hearing about team spirit , we look like a team that's going thro the motions (on track)

look at the likes of wright and starke (very impressive ) who looked liked they'd been riding the track for years and were enjoying it

Decent times just mean that it's possible to go fast in fresh air out front. It doesn't IMO make it a decent track for racing. Tbh we very rarely hear that Panthers were sharp out of the gate at home, it's only something that we read away, so Panthers were just Panthers in terms of gating. The problem here is that a fit, quality, 6 man (if you take Chessell out of the equation) team turned up to expose all of our weaknesses. Ged and Co have done well with what they've put on track throughout the season but the best teams now are settled and confident. You can't be a work in progress at this stage of the season.
