Super Blue Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 If by some miracle Ipswich were to sneak into the playoffs we could be the form team, however realistically it won't happen as we left it far too late to get our season up and running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yes all very interesting. paradoxically I think we can beat Somerset over 2 legs by giving them a good spanking at the dale (they have no track specialists and the new boys aint seen it yet) However I don`t see us beating Glasgow or Newcastle over 2 legs so we would need lots of things to fall into place to get the rebels again for Playoff final 3 (the decider) Mind you getting second would be nice though I think the weegies will get enough away points to join the rebels for 1st round bye.

Najjer Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 if Newcastle can keep Worrall and Lambert fit for the closing stages,over two legs they will take some beating, I guess it's not also just their fitness, but their availability too. But I'm with you, over 2 legs they have the beating of anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 3 home defeats have probably caused Berwick to miss out on playoffs, if I was a betting man Somerset or Glasgow to win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 If they steer clear on injuries I cannot see anyone getting near Somerset, head and shoulders above everyone else with Glasgow second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond@heart Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hard to envisage a 6 man team winning the league but you never know. We did it in the 80's I believe with Robbie Foy!! If they steer clear on injuries I cannot see anyone getting near Somerset, head and shoulders above everyone else with Glasgow second. I thought that a few years ago when Birmingham were beating everyone with Johno, Lyons et al in their team and all they ended up winning was the 4's, I think. You never know and I hope the Diamonds are in the mix at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Somerset's northern tour in a couple of weeks will be an indication of how they can perform , especially at potential play off opponents , at difficult away tracks . Both Ashfield and , as per usual , Armadale have been fortresses this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sadly with a play off system it could come down to the weather, who's fit and who's available. Fitting everything in could be fun and could come down to whose got clout with the management committee - so that's Glasgow ruled out 😒 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
