Recommended Posts

worse thing is zummerset aren't that strong ,theres stronger teams to come , The score flattered panthers against Sheffield home and away ,gawd knows why people got carried away with the away results

Somerset are stronger than you might think. A lot of people underestimated them but as usual Garry May (not Day as in your prog!!) has put together a very useful side.

good win by Somerset today, outgated and outfought the Panthers in every race, with a solid top 6 and Zach with loads to come I'm sure they'll be up at the top again come end of season

Kosciuch cares a lot more than these rent a mob Danes who are too scared to go around the outside, Kosciuch, Buczkowski and Robert Lambert always used to wind it on and threw there bikes around the outside and often crashing.

 

That was passion, that was effort and that's what we need in the Panthers side.

The two Poles mentioned were definitely pure entertainment when I visited the EOES.

 

Another terrific win for the Rebels at a track they have taken a liking to over the last two or three years. Solid team performance and Zack unlikely not to score points as well.

I thought Grondal was going to be our trump card,not so,I thought M.P.T would up his game and be exciting to watch,not so.

 

In my opionion, there are four riders that need looking at closely with a view to being released,Porsing, Grondal, Toft, and Lambert, Lambert yesterday was the only one who I found even vaguely exciting to watch,and looked like he actually cared.

 

Of the others Toft would be the one,unfortunately to go,but I agree with what others say it is awful to be talking this way so early in the season,something needs to be done though,

don't expect anything to change to be honest ,next month I think we'll be lucky to get 6pts in total H&A in the league

Will ya man Rathbone be looking for a reaction at the next meeting ? That's the usual spiel when a side has had a dicking at home. 6 home defeats last season, looks like P'Boro could be on course to better that this season.

Really thought Porsing would take this league by storm.

We've got to do something, because Sheffield was bad enough but yesterday's performance was simply diabolical and totally unacceptable.

 

Dale seems to want to keep reminding everyone that he was heavily involved in the team building - well he can take some of the blame for the two home defeats because we have looked very much like a team built without a number 1 & nearly two points under the points limit.

 

 

Rene Bach for MPT would fit nicely.

Looking at results home and away. This season and last season. There is a reason why a team can win away but struggles at home. Are the riders poor, of course not. To win the league you need to win your meetings at home and pick up away wins/points. Most teams win at home because they have home track advantage. At Peterborough they don't have it. Every meeting the track is different. The riders have no confidence in their home track. Of course the track is the same for all 14 riders, but a home rider walks the track before the meeting and finds the track different to the previous meeting and the meeting before that. It plays with their heads and bike set up. So their Confidence is low before the start of the meeting. All the riders want is a consistent track, make it totally slick or make it grippy but make certain it's the same for each meeting.

that's when you need a rider with a wise head !!! somebody who's seen it done it , I don't see it as a excuse for some riders in the panthers line up who have done 1000s of laps round there ,perry just gets on his bike and score pts and he's the least experienced

That sort of backs up his argument in that Perry just gets on with it at this early stage in his career whereas the older heads know what they want but if it doesn't suit then they start with a handicap before the tapes rise (although seen a quote saying that the riders wanted it slick - which isn't good if you're trying to attract supporters). Just prepare the track well and those who don't want it like that or genuinely can't ride it can find a new track?

The track was prepared as the team wanted it, it was different to normal and it was also clear they were just as bad on that as they were on a really grippy surface like they got against Sheffield the other week.

 

Perry was 3 times British Grass Track Champion, can trap and has already proved he can ride anything and is looking a steal on a 3.00 average. Some of his more established team mates need to sort themselves out, Allen and Wilson Dean were both riding Alwalton for the first time yesterday and didn't appear to have any problem finding the set up.

Least Bach could Score more than a couple points a meeting mind and give us a bit of top end strength and also a change that doesn't mean making other team changes so won't completely ruin morale.

 

yes he can score more than a couple of points , it was mostly 4/5 away and he always moaned about his home track not being prepared to his liking. rene has an empty diary, so give him a call and see where it goes from there ..be careful what you wish for , it may come true .
