spin king Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 With 3 strong Ht Leaders think you can get away with it. They will have to perform far far better than their last meeting. Last time they were at Sheffield none of the Glasgow heatleaders won a race The Sheffield heatleader trio are pretty formidable around Owlerton. This season they have raced in a combined 231 races. Of those 231 races they have scored either a paid win or win on 156 occasions The 2nd strings (Bates and Kurtz) provide some useful back up with 53 paid wins or wins from 123 races. We are very tough to get anything around Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 To add to my original post r/r can be taken by dan Bewley who is coming back from injury and the 2 reserves. Remember the no. 5 races with the no. 6 twice and the no. 7 once. So in at least 3 races we will be represented by the 2 reserves. Get in there James and Alfie 🙊🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 With 3 strong Ht Leaders think you can get away with it. Agreed . Keeps us competitive in heats 12 and 14 , well that's the theory anyway . Good luck to the lads , we're massive underdogs but we live in hope .

psycho3a Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have just done a heat by heat on the programme, even being conservative i think Sheffield will win 58-34 Sheffields 3 heat leaders around Owlerton are nearly unbeatable, Very good back up with Kurtz And Bates but even if they have an off night hopefully Jan will take up the task and hammer in the points. We will then hope that Edinburgh can cause an upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owenbros Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 What about heats 6 and 9 Gives Glasgow as strong a finish as possible. Difficult to know what to do here, Glasgow only got 2 points from the second string number 4 position last time. Where would you suggest SharpenRake?

psycho3a Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hows The weather holding up ? Hopefully any rain will pass over and clear quickly, Forecast still only showing rain until 3pm which will hopefully not be to heavy.

Cue Ball Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 It's been dry so far, rain is still forecast for this pm before drying up again for tonight. BBC has downgraded from heavy rain to light rain and the length of time it was due to rain for has decreased too.... I would say the odds are 70/30 for it being on - but then I lost a shed load of cash at the St Leger last weekend which probably proves that I don't understand betting odds!!!!

Difficult to know what to do here, Glasgow only got 2 points from the second string number 4 position last time. Where would you suggest SharpenRake? For this match I'd put r/r at 2. Would give Dan a chance in heat 8 being up against Sheffields no. 2 and 2 reserves. Also means one of our reserves, the only other option for r/r, would be against a Sheffield reserve in heat 11. Also means a reserve out in heat 1 can get a feel for the track prior to heat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield have a very good team IMO , but come on now give the opposition some credit , I think you have a very one sided view and usually these sort of people set themselves up to be knocked down .Personally I see Sheffield winning the first leg comfortably but 58 -34 I believe is just wishful thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also means one of our reserves, the only other option for r/r, would be against a Sheffield reserve in heat 11. Also means a reserve out in heat 1 can get a feel for the track prior to heat 2 Dan is already out in Heat 8. Who would be better at number 5? Worrall has scored 4 on each of his last 2 visits and Summers seems to be badly off form and didn't win a race there 3 weeks ago. Like I said before, a difficult one..

Cue Ball Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 BBC has downgraded from heavy rain to light rain My version of light rain and the BBC's are different - just got soaked in town Still think it will be on though as long as it stops as forecast prior to 4pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 If it stops raining around 3.30 - 4.00 it'll give Boocock and co. time to get the track down. They did a very good job of it last week may I say, 30 heats and no apparent track issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Dan is already out in Heat 8. Who would be better at number 5? Worrall has scored 4 on each of his last 2 visits and Summers seems to be badly off form and didn't win a race there 3 weeks ago. Like I said before, a difficult one.. You have to hope that Richard and Aaron score what they did in the meeting in May 2017 otherwise it won't matter where they put r/r. Richie is the potential problem, scoring wise, at Sheffield. So I would have Richard, r/r, Dan, Richie, Aaron, James and Alfie. My point about r/r at 2 was that Dan could potentially maximise his r/r ride by getting it in heat 8. With r/r at 5 , Dan won't get an 'easy' r/r ride being out against at least one heat leader in every potential race (heats 4, 6, 9, and 13) and as I've said before our reserves will be riding together in at least 3 heats, two of which will be against heat leaders. Just think the way were lined up puts tremendous pressure on Dan, who is still young and inexperienced as well as coming back from injury, and James who has had probably only one good meeting this year. Anyway hopefully I'm wrong and Stuart is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
