Bandits V Comets 26-08-17 @7pm

[Lord Lucan]

Cook was superb to watch and still rides Heat 15's when the team are battered - respect to him.

 

Other than 1 decent race each from Jorgenson and Proctor / Williamson there was nothing. It was fortunate that Proctor and Williamson had a decent heat to deliver a 1-8 ... imagine the score without that lol

 

The riding order of this team IMO is just wrong and has been for months. It should be Cook, Williamson, Campton, Jorgenson, Proctor, 6, 7. Proctor is hiding at 3 and Williamson HAS to be at 2.

 

If Comets run next year Cookie should leave (bigger things for him) I'd keep Matty and let the rest go ... IMO this is the poorest Comets team I've seen in years.

 

Name: Tonight:Next Season

Cook: Excellent: He should leave

Campton: Unlucky: Not for me ... I still don't see a rider capable of much more than he is / has been

Proctor: Inconsistent (had an E/F at the tapes in one heat / packed up when last in another):No - not convinced and he is way too inconsistent

Williamson: He's a trier: Yep he is on the up

Jorgenson: Poor: No

Sergeant: Very Poor: Never

Who is our Number 7

 

If Craig has any preconceptions about being in the GP he has to move from the Comets, Fri/Sat nights for those so we have no chance of keeping him, in name only Premiership racing but he needs a European track to race against the quality riders on a regular basis, wont do much without I'm afraid?

 

As for the others well, Campton has been much better this year but I get the feeling he's keeping a bit for himself, 6+1 for us at Ipswich then guests for Ipswich and gets 12+1, other way around would have been better?

Proctor is getting better at DP, more a gater than a racer but much improved, his away form still a bit suspect at times but I'd keep him on, (if we run that is)?

 

Williamson, well the wheels have definitely come off there and for no explicable reason, hard to fathom at the moment but should be scoring better than he is?

 

Jorgensen has never really came to the party this year, shows glimpses of what he can do but not consistently enough, maybe a lack of regular racing has held him back but certainly not delivering the goods as was expected, bit unlucky I think?

 

Serjeant is an enigma, even if he gets a good gate his equipment isn't fast enough to maintain his position, points make money, money buys the bits required but not scoring enough to buy the bits? If it came together he would be useful, it just isn't right now and very possibly wont? Shame really!!

 

No7, farcical, was always going to be contentious putting inexperienced riders in permanent positions, unlikely to score much and simply not capable of earning enough to make it viable, feel sorry for them, too much of an ask, should only move up when they feel ready to make the leap?

 

Said it myself and agree with everyone else, move the team around, shake it up, we've nothing to lose and after Jacko's crass comment in the T&S about the play offs being beyond us with nearly half a season left to race we've clearly given up so why not take a new direction, you cant read that and still expect a crowd to watch you blunder thru the next few weeks of home matches knowing that we're not really bothered, lets see something different, it might work it might not but who cares, title's gone??

Great to see another victory for the Bandits who are looking quite strong just now. Whilst the track was a bit slick last night it was the same for both teams.

 

Morris nice and fast and the Gap got a good few points in. Good to see Jye also moving up well into the team with Kevin also scoring well. David has been a good signing so far and despite not getting all the scores last night he got 2nd and 3rd places and 3 of his 5 also seen Cook in the race. He clearly tries and I would be more than happy to see him as an early signing for next season!.

 

Hopefully another few points over the next few weeks to end an unlucky season.

 

Also a good few pounds collected for the Ben fund!

If that is correct that Ian is on holiday i really hope he is back next week that was terrible to watch back to processional racing.While a good win was welcome rather watch meetings like the previous two great meeting for Dany hopefully that will give him confidence and Jye would have him back next year.Good to meet Shads hope your getting settled in at least Berwick will have a texter now

Strange comment, we have had processional racing for 8 years and was it not Ian ( Razor) doing the track for that whole period. The track has generally been better this season, with just a few hic ups on the way.
