Who was the slacker, I assume Robbie Foy? I used to think that and then looked at old programmes and he was not bad, just when you compare him to the other 6 it looked like he was. Oh, how I would love a time machine to go back to those days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauger65 Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Cant quite understand some of the negativity on the Ulrich signing - it is a complete no brainer He's a rider who will probably average better than his current average and it strengthens the team and puts Max at 6 where he will be 1 of the best reserves in the league I feel sorry Jakob and hope he gets fixed up (and I would give him another go in the future) - but it is a numbers game and the Diamonds can still rescue this season The side looks a lot stronger with Max at 6 and Ulrich and Matty as 2nd strings ....... our heat leaders are improving (at last!) and if Stevie can get his average over 9 and TJ and Lasse improving to get theirs to near 8 - this side looks very competitive (certainly at home) and could potentially nick a playoff place 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve might get fixed up next season with an average over 9 but nobody would employ Lasse or Tommy Gun on 8's. Once the season has officially slipped away the riders will set about manipulating the numbers to get berths for next year. As is said time and time again, its a numbers game.

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 I think you lot are looking a very strong team now, depending on ur middle order Dane’s, if they are riding to what they should be then you lot will be up there come end of season barring injuries. Clegg at reserve on the form he’s in with probably the strongest top 5 in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 I don't think anyone is complaining about our team being weaker, I think everyone just feels bad for Bukhave and still p!ssed off about the carrying situation... Mind you, I think our top 6 looks very powerful now, so hopefully we should be able to beat everyone at home and start to pick up points away (Importantly around Edinburgh on Friday) I think our team looks a lot better now, but sorry to Bukhave Hope you're fixed up again real soon and don't hold any negative feelings towards us... Good luck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I wish I could go but a mixture of work commitment and lack of time means I cannot go tonight, good luck to the Diamonds though, hope everyone is safe and we're not out of it before the 2nd leg... Hope the trip is worth it for the fans going up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winditon Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hope we can turn the deficit around from tonight. Garcia turned out to be a very poor guest. Not sure what was available but no doubt Lasse would have scored more than 1. I think Garcia score well when at Edinburgh with Berwick so maybe that was in the management's thinking. Don't even get me started about Phillips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
