Is Bacon the most improved rider in the league? Very impressive. Well done coty, shame the manager didn't see fit for you to have 7 rides....totally baffling. Bacon and Zach W at Lakeside I'd say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Total garbage! Should have booked 2 guests, RR pretty damned unproductive tonight. OK just checked and it got 7pts but Rory would have got more than that. Nobody could gate. Why do we repeatedly set up the track to suit the opposition. Slick was never going to suit the Witches tonight. And when we actually get into a position where we could possibly (unlikely but maybe) get something from the meeting does a total knob head go for a gap that simply wasn't there! And guess what rerun was won by Tom Bacon. Thank heavens I also follow Mildenhall, at least I tend to come away from there with a smile on my face.

He's young and is only going to get better with more experience. First name on the Panthers team sheet for next season. He could become a Number 1 by the end of next season, mark my words.

Nicholls, Bacon, BWD & Starke won us that Good performance from a patched up team , I would have been happy with 1point from the meeting so to pick 4 is an added bonus towards the play offs . Again well done lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 That was pretty much as I expected. Credit to Garcia for his best performance so far, Newman was on par and Kemp will only get better. Based on the season so far I always thought it unlikely that Covatti, Heeps and Riss would all perform to the top of their game on the same night and so it proved. Covatti was a particular disappointment. I know he is popular with most but I've always thought he is too inconsistent. Both him and Heeps miss the gate three times out of four and so the track needs to be set up to suit their round the boards efforts. If it isn't then there isn't a great deal of point in having them in the team. I thought Bacon was very good and the lad seems to be developing very well.

89buttons Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 As someone said in an earlier post I just can’t see how you can replace schlein and king with Newman and R/R and expect to win a meeting! great effort from drew he was on the pace all night - encouraging debut! Coty was good value Heeps poor and improved to average in a couple of races but honestly don’t think he’ll be back in the UK next year, can’t see him being back at Ipswich and really not sure who he’d appeal to on his average covatti poor although a couple of good races later on - too little too late riss did his job - can’t expect him to always be banging in big points Newman woeful season over. tom Bacon superb - have to see he’s improved year on year fantastic tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there performances over the last 3 meetings is not good enough but now is not the time to rock the boat we have them both until the end of the season, so rather than knock them we should all be encouraging them and get behind all the riders .

2ndbendbeerhut Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Credit to Peterborough .... especially to Tom Bacon 14 points away from home is fantastic 2 more than the top 2 for ipswich combined! No credit to Ipswich.... So many mistakes... 1. Using r/r for your no1 at home 2. Using a rider with an average 2.5 points lower for your no2. 3. Super slick track (2nd time this has happened vs Panthers this year) But you can't blame Chris Louis after his riders refused to ride on the track last week ... so he have them a track they would ride on ... and look what happens! 4. Inept team management by giving Heeps a TS ride that would mean 3 on the trot... taking Garcia out of his 2nd ride and then only giving Garcia 5 rides...especially as had only dropped only 1 point up until his 5th one! Oh well always next year..... Edited August 23, 2018 by 2ndbendbeerhut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 It will be interesting to see what changes next season brings. Obviously injury has played a big part, but some personnel changes are definitely required. I lost count of the times their rider off gate three took our rider wide on the first bend, not one of them had the perception and or skill to lay off and cut inside. Surely its the managers role to point this out. We need someone with the tactical experience and riding ability to actually team ride rather than just gate and go.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Track was crap but as has been said you cant really blame Chris Louis for choosing to go that way The meeting had to go ahead and with rain all morning he couldnt risk anything else Boro again did what was needed out of the starts more consistently - fair play to them Bacon was superb and was the difference Then again with a Witches side effectively averaging 37 a Boro win was always on the cards Coty top scoring with 12 + 1 yet only getting 5 rides was a strange way to go especially withh r/r in operation (could and should have been 14 if BWD hadnt gone for a stupid move in 14) Heat 14 was the final kick in the teeth with Bacon winning the re run having been 30 yards behind in 4th in the 1st running (shouldve ben off 15m in the re run IMO) 2018 effectively over now - just the motions to go through now.....

2ndbendbeerhut Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Haven't they been going through the motions for a while now? A team shouldn't be able to use RR for more than 28 days... that's what's bitten us on the arse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
