Paulco Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 A massive result for us and takes us the top of the league for tonight. Maybe, just maybe they might start taking us more seriously. Your team seems to be peaking as the other three members of the top 4 are wobbling a bit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Sheffield now title favourites after that humbling of the Monarchs . Is that the first time Sheffield have ever won at Armadale ? Sure we won there a good few years ago on a very wet night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Brilliant result didn't expect that with 2 heat leaders out.Well done lads .Good guest in Bomber after we struggled to get a replacement for Josh.Great team effort again.

TheScotsman Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Well we kept it tight for a while. Well deserved humping by Real Tiggers. Can't rely on the heat leaders to win every race to keep us in it. Hope Smiler is ok. Might need a couple of miracles when Erik's big bro comes back but in fairness we have too many weaknesses to threaten even if we did scrape into the play-offs.

Mr Blobby Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Seemed to be doing fine until heat 10 then we just seemed to collapse. Just fell asleep at the starts. Not helped by mechanical problems for sam and then an uncharacteristic fall and max having a night to forget. Oh well congrats to Sheffield on their win. Don't think we'll ride like that again this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hel'n'Back Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 According to twitter, Sam's confirmed he's broken his collarbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 That's a good Sheffield Team and Gravesen could be the trump card at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Wowsers!! Hoped we might scrape a point after performances earlier in the year, yet did not see that coming - think losing Sam probably had a slight impact, but we would still have ended up with a point or 2 which would still have been a cracking result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 not good news on sam , but on a brighter note , well done sheffield . 2017 champs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Well done Sheffield, sharper from Hatthe traps and Bomber sublime team riding in heat 11. Howarth unrecognisable from the 2011 wobbler. Bad injury for sam and his season probably over, worse luck. Guests from here on in likely. we might make top 4 but will be lambs to the slaughter in current form. Ippo, glasgow could win at the dale and the Panties next week will fancy their luck too. Not sure why max had 4 rides tonight, very slow every race, Josh in heat 8 12 and14 seemed sensible with Mitch in heat 9 for max,still best team won. Harris and R/R made Sheff stronger but they were more determined especially at the end. 9-27 from heat 10 says it all. We collapsed big time.

Endeavour Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Well done Sheffield, you beat us fair and square, good solid team, great choice of guest and their loyal band of fans in cow shed enjoyed the win. Kyle one of the most entertaining riders at Armadale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewmac Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Fact is Monarchs have flattered to deceive from the very first match this season. The back up to the heat leaders has been weak all along but has been ignored by the faithful in the hope that they'd eventually come good. They haven't. Too many inconsistencies even from the heat leaders, with only Sam Masters excepted. I'm afraid the bottom end of the team has (even though some will hate me for saying it) been nothing short of pathetic on far too many occasions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily have said the bottom end of the team has exceeded expectations on a number of occasions. Can't understand fans that seem to think that there riders should be able to perform at there best every time and no matter where they ride. One defeat at home and still in the play offs yea what a terrible position to be in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 The talk on here recently has been how Glasgow will pick Edinburgh in the play offs, looks like that was premature, can we assume Sheffield will also pick the Monarchs if they keep this form up?
