Cliffeboy Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Thumping win for the Rebels last night, should make the second leg a formality. I would normally be attending the second leg at Rye but I have a family wedding to attend. However I shall be keeping an eye on proceedings ha. Not sure why nobody who went last night has started this thread off so, look forward to reading comments now👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idh Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Good win for the Rebels . Fast from the gates made the rockets look like they were going backwards. Was impressed with young mr lambert on his 1st appearance at the OTA. Didn't expect the ht15 line up to be what it was but the Rebels pair made easy work of it in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Any point in the second leg? Make it Plymouth only and save us £4 and an early night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffeboy Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hope the track holds up better tonight over the two matches. On the rebels last visit to rye that was a double header that only managed 4 heats in the second match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 The Raiders would have scored more. Pathetic yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Obvious this would happen. Ignoring the injuries, to put a side out that is so top heavy is asking for trouble. Can't cope with RR and the expectancy for the top three to come up with 30+ points in every single meeting is ridiculous. Historically it never works unless you have two very good reserves in place and that we have not got. Knee jerk reaction from the promoters to replace the two Swedes. Think they were looking for brownie points with the inclusion of Robert Lambert but the idiots have made the side weaker (If that was possible) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically it never works unless you have two very good reserves in placeEdinburgh managed pretty well with 3 riders scoring double figures every week and a couple of 3 point reserves. It's not helped that Nikolaj went off the boil two or three months ago and Kasper STILL can't gate to save his life Edited September 12, 2015 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Edinburgh managed pretty well with 3 riders scoring double figures every week and a couple of 3 point reserves. That's a bit simplistic Shads. Sedgy is now up to 3rd the current GSA's which has meant we have had pretty much 4 riders scoring double figures.

Ben91 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Edinburgh's 3 point reserves are also crucially scoring their averages, ours have been lucky to get more than the courtesy third place point from heat two between them. If your top three score 30 points out of a possible 40 available to them from 14 heats, which is doable, and your reserves are chipping in with 6 between them you're only looking for another 6 from your second strings to be taking a point from most away meetings. It's getting the bottom order right that is the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
