Alex2000 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 It's ours to lose now.... if we do we deserve to. Great effort from us and both teams for that matter. Not sure what went on in heat 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrac Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Apparently Danny Ayres booked on Wednesday for Brummies at no 1, with Georgie Wood potentially unavailable. Not over yet by a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Can't see Brum pulling that deficit back unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 A poor performance from the brummies tonight, especially the middle order. No wood for the eagles on Wednesday leaves the door ever so slightly open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Does anyone know if the 8 day guest rule applies in NL. If not it will presumably be Connor Coles again. Â Cannot see any other viable option. Surely Georgies problem, presumably work, could be resolved for one night even if it meant a helicopter to Birmingham for him with the team taking his equipment up. Â I'm sure we would be happy to have a whip round to cover the cost. Â Connor is really set on winning this so you can be sure he is working on something.

woofers Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 From the official Eastbourne website - Â "The IT First Eagles started disastrously and conceded a 3-0 in heat win after No 1 Adam Ellis fell while leading by a country mile. His partner Charley Powell was also excluded." Â I thought the outcome and decision making regarding this incident a bit odd. Â We were watching the tussle between Jack Smith and Charlie Powell and were oblivious to Adam Ellis as he was so far in front. Coming out of bend 1, Powell ran into the side of Smith, but then we noticed Ellis on the ground by the air fence on bend 2 - only some 40 yards away. Â Perhaps the referee and anyone else assisting him were doing the same as us, because: Â Why was the race not stopped prior to the Powell / Smith incident? Ellis was disqualified for not being under power at the time of the official stoppage (caused by Powell), but surely he went down first (he was so far in front) and couldn't clear the track, otherwise he wouldn't have been only yards away from the incident. Â The red lights should have been on when it was obvious Ellis couldn't get clear from the track, whether that would have prevented the coming together of Powell and Smith is uncertain, however either way, Smith was rightly given 3 points but Powell should have been awarded 2 points. The referee allowed a dangerous situation to develop in my opinion. Â Any other views ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were doing the same but it did appear that Powell went into Smith because Smith slowed having seen Adam Ellis whilst Powell hadn't. As you say it looked bad and dangerous refereeing, surely Ellis was the cause of the stoppage and should have been a 2/3 heat result given?

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 A last heat decider could perhaps make a draw but Brummies by 4 or 6 looks odds on. Â Do all Brummie supporters have such little faith in their fabulous only once beaten team. Oh dear..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Oh dear..... Sometimes I am really happy to be wrong. Young Tom Brennan's 7 points made all the difference. I have said that if he gets out he can be difficult to catch and he took points of off Perry,JPB(2) and Smith(2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Tom beating Tom Perry proves just how good he can be (if he makes the start) I have found and don't know if anyone else has that Tom makes better starts off gate 1 or 4 although he proved yesterday he can do it wherever he starts. Great prospect for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Superb result for the Eagles especially after such a bad start. Points were thrown away by both sides but a great meeting for the NL Final. It is the Eagles to lose but need another strong performance from Adam Ellis, Ellis Perks, Jake Knight + guest to keep it close and an improved performance down at reserve as the Eagles cant afford a 27-2 return at 6+7 as the pressure on the Top 4 will be huge. For those at Perry Barr it should be an absolute cracker !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevec Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I really would not want to guess how this will go. I am sure many Eastie and Brummie fans think this is Eastbourne to win now but with a good performance from Danny Ayres to match the scoring by the rest of the team, I reckon this can go all the way to heat 15. If we had Georgie I would feel confident of an Eagles win but not so sure without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It grieves me but I can't see Brummies turning round the 13 point deficit - to say our guests have been patchy at best is an understatement.
