Edinburgh V Scunthorpe Pl 22/7/16 @7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Hopefully we can actually get a home meeting in this week as we welcome Scunthorpe this week to the Dale.R/R for Kerr, everyone can take a ride apart from Douglas. Wethers in as a replacement for Davis strengthens them at the number 2 position and with MPT at reserve who can be pretty handy round Armadale could cause a problem for us. Even then I still think we'll have enough in the tank to get the job done.

 

Teams for Friday:

 

Edinburgh

 

1. Sam Masters

2. Mark Riss

3. Erik Riss

4. Ryan Fisher

5. Kevin Wolbert

6. Max Clegg

7. Dan Bewley

 

Scunthorpe

 

1. Ryan Douglas.

2. Matthew wethers

3. Lewis Kerr R/R

4. Carl Wilkinson

5. Josh Auty

6. Michael Palm Toft

7. Josh Bailey

NO FEAR....

 

However, Somerset are a shoe in to top the league on points and I also still would be surprised if Newcastle don't finish up in the top 3. As I am magnanimous, I will say Edinburgh are a changed side since they swapped Etheridge for Riss and Bewley started scoring.

 

Your lot still are not on my list of worries, though.

Well we certainly made hard work of that one. The track was pretty heavy and grippy that suited the scunny boys a bit more than us even though both sides were struggling at times. Once the track settled down a bit we got going and done the job that was required.

How to victory from the jaws of defeat!

Two observations from the meeting. Firstly, I was very disappointed that Mark Riss was replaced by Clegg in heat 10, as that was totally unmerited. Riss had been slow from the starts but had looked very fast when making up ground in his previous heat. Clegg meanwhile had done absolutely nothing to suggest at that stage he'd get a point, which in fact he didn't.

Secondly, heat 14, and Clegg suddenly came to life, firstly outgating Palm Toft and Wilkinson, then in the rerun harrying and finally passing Palm Toft! Where on earth has that form been all season Max? So frustrating to see you can do it after all.... Can we please see that a bit more often??

Anyways, Scunthorpe must be sick. Twice they have thrown away victories against us in 5 days now!
