Recommended Posts

Edinburgh are falling apart, they will be shredded tomorrow.

 

54-39 Panthers

 

That's knackered that then, an afternoon of football it is!

Don't think so..they beat us here last time without Masters..anyone know if Wolbert is riding?

I think he is extremely doubtful.

 

Monarchs will need to dig deep in this one, no time to feel sorry for themselves after last night. Will always back them and a win is not out of the question but if they keep it close I reckon they can pull it off over 2 legs.

He won't be. he will give us decision on Tuesday as to whether he will ride on Friday or not.

 

As for the meeting the way we are riding at the moment and minus Kevin I can only see a convincing panthers victory.

Did ok least time that there was a tractor convoy down the A14:

 

Rohan Tungate 2, 3, 3, 2, 0, 1 = 11 Read more: speedwayupdates/peterborough-ipswich-pl 12/6/15

 

It got a bit hot in the last two but he isn't meeting Kurtz, King and the Ostrich tomorrow, and Cooke apart, he can beat the rest at a track he can race on, so thankfully he's not riding at Foxhole.

 

Rohan could do very well.

Youre right that he is more suited to riding EOES that Foxhall.

Rohan can be as quick as anyone when his head is in the right place.

Heat 1 could be crucial. A good first race and he may go on to double figures.

i thought he was a Coventry asset .

Well originally he was a Wolves asset

I think he is extremely doubtful.

I think most fans will have Edinburgh down as favourites but the result yesterday asked some serious questions about the Monarchs and showed they can be vulnerable if put under pressure.

I thought that the asset system died a couple of years ago: "Swindon co-promoter Gary Patchett is refusing to buy Hans Andersen or Troy Batchelor and admitted “the asset system stands on the verge of collapse.” - I assume that it's recovered and that it was only in trouble at the time because it involved Panthers.

I don't think so and he'd never be in a Bees team again so if he was an asset I think Mick would have off loaded him by now. :lol:

Waiting for fitness of riders to be confirmed - Anders being one I suspect

teams are declared 5 days in advance so could/should be available for release.

If there are any late changes due to injury/illness then can just be updated.

With Edinbugh as opponents hoping for an epic battle for supremacy......... all to play for on both sides

Edinburgh are sweating over the fitness of German racer Kevin Wolbert who missed the second leg of their League Cup triumph last weekend and both legs of the Premier League KO Cup final due to injury.

TEAMS

READYPOWER PANTHERS: Rohan Tungate (guest), Michael Palm Toft, Anders Thomsen, Simon Lambert, Ben Barker, Rafal Konopka, Emil Grondal.

EDINBURGH: Craig Cook, Justin Sedgmen, Kevin Wolbert (or rider replacement), Erik Riss, Sam Masters, Max Clegg, Robert Branford.

Wish we would move R/R away from number 3 puts to much pressure on Riss IMO and leaves us weak in 2 races were Erik is out with a reserve twice. Would rather see R/R at 2 and Sedgy moved to 3.

 

 

Agree with RR at 2....Sedgy can still join Cookie in heat 1 and Sam in 8. Erik can slot in for heat 5 or 11 depending on gates etc. Sedgy gives him a reliable partner throughout

 

Whilst I agree with the above, I am under the impression the riding order cannot be be changed, once declared previously.

 

IMO given that it was reported last Sunday that Wölbert would be hospitalised for two days, there must have been a distinct possibility that Kevin would be unfit to resume this week.

 

Under the circumstances, declaring Wölbert at 2 and Sedgmen and 3 would not have been so unbalanced had Kevin been available to resume riding.

 

If his availability for this Friday is still uncertain, I would hope we do declare KW at number 2, as against Somerset it appeared to place too much pressure on Erik Riss to be partnered with a reserve in three heats.

Erik is out with a reserve in 3 races. Can't move it if that is what they declared. I would have moved it to no2 even if kev was available first match back after injury can always be dodgy so would help there.

Given that there is no trs I would also move erik to no3 at the dale

I don't think it will matter too much as Cook, Masters, Sedgeman and Riss ride the showground very well and will pile up the points...unfortunately I think it will be a narrow Monarchs victory but a great season for us none the less considering the bad luck we've had...a big thank you to Ged..the best guy in charge we've ever had..and long may it continue.
