The Third Man Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Oh well we concentrate on the league now, or so they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC71 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 We are up against Sheffield without Garrity, Plymouth and Redcar. Not sure if the other teams will be at full strength but I wouldn't rule us out completely. If Lambert & Worrall can score heavily, Victor has a good meeting and Lewis chips in we may still have an outside chance. Would we be back to full strength if we make it through to Sunday?

No you're there to win a trophy so if and it's a big if we do make it through the final then both LL and MK must be brought back in. It maybe harsh but then again LL and MK have been riding all season so is it not harsh on them to not have the opportunity to ride.

TheScotsman Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 That would do wonders for team spirit especially if Lindgren and/or Kus flopped on the Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that you could leave Palovaara in and he could have a mare on Sunday. I don't envy George if he is faced with that scenario. We'll just have to c.

In my mind you have to go on paper with your strongest team - you can't anticipate who is going to do what but 8 or 9 times out of 10 your stronger riders will score more points.

If Vic scores well on Saturday, I would leave him in, then put Kus in ahead of 'Lightning' (don't think the Showground is 1 of his best haunts),,, but then again, anybody could have a mare on any day ,,, but if we don't get thru, it makes life easier in that respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 We would be bonkers not to put them back in if we qualify.... Sod the sentiment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEITH M Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 We would be bonkers not to put them back in if we qualify.... Sod the sentiment.I agree.. So if it was Stevie and Robert unavailable for the Saturday and we qualified and they were available for the Sunday those fans wouldn't want them in the team !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJC71 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 So no Victor anyway. Team confirmed as Lambert, Worrall, Rose & Phillips. That's us out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
