Gazc Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Very disappointing performance again at Glasgow by us, just really seem completely unable to transfer our home form to any away tracks in the PL? It's not looking good at the moment with Somerset and now Glasgow putting us to the sword, I can hardly see us beating either of just those two over two legs in anything to be in with a chance of any silverware, just simply cannot understand it? Perhaps Glasgow today were just plain better than us but surely we could have competed far more than we did, our guys should be well used to these tracks by now to be showing up much more than we currently do? Must be frustrating as they do look to be a decent side just never saw that today although the way we are riding no-one will get close at Ashfield. Remember the Stoney days Comets win at Glasgow was a banker most off the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 We haven't been beaten at home and were at max strength - This is how we are performing at home this season, though away is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 With the league being so competitive this season and we are inconsistent away from home as everyone else bar Somerset, away wins are difficult to get unless they all click as we did at Berwick.

MD Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Remember the Stoney days Comets win at Glasgow was a banker most off the time. Towards the end of the Stoney era im sure the Worky track started to be prepared super slick and things changed. They used to be best visitors to GLA by far but not for the last 10 years by and large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both clubs had the same teams now as they had then you're probably right but they haven't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 If worky do make the play offs they'd have to win their home legs by 30 pts,and hope it's enough,so frustrating how a team can be nigh unbeatable at home and ride like a nl select away You could be talking about Glasgow at times this season. Pumped by Scunny away, hammered them at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spt82 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Was expecting better from Workington today but take nothing away from Glasgow they were extremely good again today with everybody riding well young Nike really has come on leaps & bounds as the season has progressed he was a joy to watch. Special mention to Coty was more like what we know he can do today and riding hard first & second bends . Whilst it was not quite as easy as last week it was still a surprise to win so comfortably against a decent Workington side. Not as easy as last week yet you were further ahead at heat 14 than last week, interesting logic!🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Not as easy as last week yet you were further ahead at heat 14 than last week, interesting logic! Simple really Worky were slightly better on track today than Edinburgh were last week not by much mind you. Scores sometimes don't always tell the full story is that logic ok for you. Edinburgh were woeful last week and that is being kind. Workington were just slightly better than woeful this week.

GlasgowGuy Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 A highly impressive 'gubbing' handed out by the Stripes today. Both sides will meet again in the LC semi in a month's time, can Glasgow be as dominant again? Can Worky be so poor again? Now we're fast approaching the business end of the season, with the league fixtures beginning to dwindle and clubs look to secure a play-off spot, it's all very much about building, and delivering, winning form at the right time to reach finals and win trophies - on today's showing it certainly looked like Glasgow were full of confidence and fight which will be required in bucket loads over the coming weeks. Tough weekend coming up with 3 in 3 days which will severely test that winning attitude and determination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 More like October than August in the Charlie Monk stand today , racing was pretty poor too apart from when Lunna missed the gate and heat 15 . Worst Workington team in living memory at Ashfield , but it's another three points in our quest for honours . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnus Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 The Comets seem to be beaten before they even go to the tapes when away. They seem to lack confidence and don't carry any form away from Derwent Park, which is very confusing considering the caliber of riders they have... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do take some heavy away defeats considering their home form and look very good Team on Paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogo1 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Poor show from Workington yesterday, when you look at there team they should be doing a whole lot better away from home, Glasgow can only beat what's in front of them, with Lunna being the most exciting rider again, his gating is improving but when he doesn't gate he hunts the opposition down and passes them with ease, tougher tests to come with Ipswich and Somerset looming, they should be tasty, that's for sure, Now for Friday and Saturday where we need points! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh getting 4 points at Peterborough yesterday makes it imperative we get at least one more away win . Somerset look out on their own , but over two legs anything can happen , but securing second place in the league is important 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Feel sorry for the Workington fans that travelled up. They didn't even have one stand out rider that they could cheer. Possibly trying to lure us into a false sense of security for the LC match 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
