dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Rory it seems was a class apart - and just as well. Decent from Haertel and looks like Ben battled away as ever. Very ordinary to say the least after that. Disappointing result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, a pale shadow of the rider that stepped up last season. Unlike Hume though, hasn’t got the excuse of coming back from a bad injury. Just coming back a stone or two overweight! His talent isn’t in question, his dedication and professionalism is though unfortunately. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also say you shouldn't have underestimated Berwick Good result for us again... John Lindman finally looking like something has clicked!

We have just been even worse than mediocre We've not been too bad this season so far.. A shocker of a meeting against Newcastle that was thankfully a challenge... Beat a good Glasgow team... Drew against Workington... And now league wins against Lakeside and Ipswich.. I'll take that so far being just a "mediocre" side 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpecialOne Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Time to make some big decisions. Both Covatti and Heeps were signed on inflated avaerages. Covatti was always going to struggle to maintain his after the best part of a year out injured and Heeps as mentioned earlier struggles both in terms of consistency and professionalism. The reserves are not to blame the way the team has been built will mean they were always going to need the top 5 to carry them to some extent. The calendar this year does not allow time to riders to find their form, failure to act will mean yet another year of under achievement.

Fromafar Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Good win for Bandits,some decent racing on a good track tonight proving what a difference a little bit of watering during the meeting makes,Schlien was sublime totally different class,he could have missed the gate every race and still race to a maximum ,Barker was his usual 110% entertainer,Hartel got better every race,Hume has something about him,Heeps was rubbish,Mountain not much better.Howe still struggling for some form, the rest were OK.

DSC67 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 One or two decent races last night on a track that seemed to offer the riders something. As predicted Rory was unstoppable and Barker gave his usual "Death or Glory " display , I was quite surprised by Hartel's performance didn't expect him to do quite so well , as for the rest they where pretty forgettable, didn't expect much from Heels and I was proved right. Good night from The Bandits reserves especially " The Enforcer " , Howe and Spud still seem a bit underpowered. A similar score next Saturday night Vs The Tigers please , not sure we'll do much in the return of this fixture on Thursday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Excellent win against an albeit depleted Ipswich team. Would the score have been different had King and Covatti been here? Who knows, but a win is a win. Probably just echoing the thoughts of everybody above, Schlein was in a class of his own. Outgated once, by Summers, all night, but easily found a way past. Ben Barker is brilliant to watch at Berwick, much the same as Bomber, never gives up. I was impressed with Hartel, he got better as the meeting went on and picked up a heat win. Berwick were strength in depth personified with the two reserves almost top scoring. Good nights for Summers and Doolan. Glad to see Paul Starke getting up from the tangle which shot him into the fence at a funny rate, although his bike looked worse for wear, that would be an expensive crash. Would like to see David Howe getting into the points. Not had the best of starts after a brilliant comeback last season. Maybe he will be the next one to spend a bit of time in the reserves. It seemed to work for John Lindman last night. Good to see him with a good score last night and get his confidence up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Hume go Fromafar? just hope Ippo stick with him and Mountain both have something Hume is raw but coming back from a serious injury was always going to be hard.Just think Hume has a real bright future great win for Berwick nice to see the Swede do well as he is better rider than some of his scores suggest.

Racin Jason 72 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Think it’s time for changes at Ipswich. Reluctantly I would release Danyon as we desperately need at least one decent reserve. Enter Nathan Greaves. covatti and heeps to go too and be replaced by Kennett and use the remainder on whoever fits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
