nick Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Well done to the Monarchs, obviously disappointed to throw away a lead but we do seem to be doing that everywhere now. Certainly not everyone was at that their best tonight and I know that I was wrong about Theo in my comments earlier. Fair play to Sedgman for playing his part in Monarchs win and with the cut off for changes there is no way he won't be in the team for the rest of the season. We just have to find a way to beat the Tigers next week (the team I thought who might stop our unbeaten home record). I think 1998 was the last season we were unbeaten at home all year. Hopefully Glasgow will turn up with a full seven and not be strengthened by having R/R for Lunna like the last two visits, we may still make the playoffs just need to get back to winning ways on Thursday (we won't get anything positive at Ashfield) and pick up some points on the road.

CookieIpswich Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 So much for peaking at the right time, the next few meetings are crucial for securing a play off spot, will confidence play a part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 There must be something in the riding order if we keep going downhill in the later parts of meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I was looking forward to coming on here half way through heat 14 and praising Sedgy for 8 paid 10, but that was a shocking mistake by our former (some hope) No4. Track was poor last night, far too slick and smooth, but I suppose with the forecast they couldn't make it too grippy. Obviously the main blame will be pointed at Sedgy, but we also blew it in heat 13, we gated on a 4-2 and somehow lost it. I can understand Erik going past Rory, he looked slow all night, by I don't expect our captain to be beaten from behind on a track where it was almost impossible to overtake. Real table. Glasgow +21 Sheffield +16 Ipswich +11 Edinburgh +11 Forget the rest (at the moment). Now the good bit, even with the long interval for the whip round, I was still home by 9-30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Bit worried about Workington who have so many matches in hand. This weekend should be make or break for them, a difficult home meeting followed by an away meeting they should win if they've got any play off hopes.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Sedgy at 2 and Kyle at 4... Means we have options in 15 then when Kyle is riding well. Hard to put him in 15 when not ridden since heat 10. Â Oh well always next time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) And with kyle at 4 at least we know he is going to battle his hardest for every point. He would be my first name on team sheet for next season if he would want to. Edited July 28, 2017 by baldyman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieIpswich Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Problem is if Glasgow come to town and win next week then Ippo need to make those points up away, still looks like the play offs but the team need to bounce back quickly and not get stuck in a rut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Glasgow have more than 2 chance of winning next week. We should still make the play offs though. Not that I would fancy us beating any of those teams over 2 legs currently. A good win next week though could see us kick on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Curse of the poster strikes again after I stated we shouldn't get beaten at home, and lo and behold our next match we lose. The team threw that match away, only Cam & Kyle came out of that meeting with any credit. In our group where we sit we have always said that they should never have an interval as the team is never the same after it and they seem to lose momentum. Hopefully it was just a kick up the arse they need as next week with be tougher and we can't afford any more slip ups at home. Congrats to Edinburgh with a little help from the poxy tactical rule which most fans hate, and the inept performance of the ref. (Consistency lacking re the starts). She also should've excluded Erik Riss from the rerun of heat 13 for exceeding 2 mins, (it was the longest less than a minute going when his foot rest came adrift).

TheScotsman Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Apparently Riss made the 2mins by..... 1 second! Â Yes that's how I timed it too!! Â Was all he needed though. Â It does highlight the crapness of the sport that there aren't big 2 minute countdown clocks on the centre green for everyone to see.. Would add a bit more drama to the occasion at times. Â And I didn't see any track work being done on the starting area (apart from by the riders) so that was all good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
