Tsunami Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 With the threat of rain, Darren Hartley the referee, kept the races flowing at a good pace and the meeting was clocked as taking 1 hour 25 mins. Fortunate there was no crashes and no RR, but it was run at a good pace again without an interval. The Thunderstorm that was forecast as 1.00, 4.00, 8.00 eventually hit the stadium at abouit 9.30 and it rained for some hours afterwards. Had it started at any of the earlier predicted times the meeting would have been washed out and another trip up for Somerset with virtually no available Sundays on offer. We got away with it. Agree with the comments about the lack of contribution of the 3 heat leaders. Even if the track was dry, and needing different settings, a team that doesn't ride weekly at Brough got it spot on, so why didn't ours. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauger65 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 well our very faint playoff hopes were ended by a 4 man team Max was superb and I agree the lad should be riding 7 races a meeting …….. continual poor team selection and just sticking to everyone gets 4 rides … Not for the 1st time …..the defeat lies solely at the hands of our 3 'heat leaders' …. another woeful performance by them and they must be the only heat leaders in the league who cannot pass on their home track ….. Worrall is a pale shadow of the rider he was 2 years ago and bjerre and Jorgensen have just rubbish all year cracking meeting in terms of the closeness of scores...… but the races were again fairly processional - due to the fact we cant pass anyone !! looks like Birmingham will stop us from getting the wooden spoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbackHalifax Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Tommy Gun scored well on Mon, so not his fitness. Was always hit and miss at Brough as a visitor. Lasse average was always gonna drop as half his meetings are on a track he cannot ride. Steve was always going to re find his feet this year, always been a trapper and not quite getting it together at the moment. Never has been a racer like evil twin, who cannot gate as consistently as Steve normally does. Ulrich is not a racer, looks good when gates in front but average other times. Danny shouldn’t have lost out to Stoneman in hot 8. The guy has never been to Brough and fell off twice in his first race. Matty down on recent form but still exceeding expectation. Cleggy on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgensen was always a good gater when he was riding at Newcastle for opposition teams. Seems now to be inconsistent at home as has already been said. Most disappointing. Steve Worrall another poor score at home. Not sure what is up with him. If these 3 had Clegg attitude we might be top of the League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a new engine in on Sunday and, as far as I can gather, struggled with the set-up for it. And, yeah, up until Sunday his home average was 9.50, so really struggling.

mauger65 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Steve this league is way easier than 2 seasons ago and Worrall with lambert were virtually unbeatable around brough then steve - is not the rider of 2 years ago atm in time (he may come good again) - and when he misses the gate he couldn't catch cold - harsh but true and as for bjerre and Jorgensen poncing around at the back when beaten .... well frankly it says everything (of course we get the crap they are hurting and really care.... yeah about their low wages due to low points scored) at least danny Philips tries to the end and they could learn at lot from that ! max and matty are the only 2 who can hold their heads up and both have been way above expectation of course, despite the bleeding obvious .... us keyboard warriors are not allowed to the criticise the fantastically built side which is always just one meeting away from glory ........ it is another poor team that is heading for the bottom 3 ................ and I hate writing this stuff as I would rather happily praise the riders one thing is certain.......... is sure Jorgensen and bjerre are not on the managements 2020 team - well at least I hope they are not ............. a poor side and its been another poor season ..... lets not kid ourselves otherwise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the SGB site, Steve is averaging around 8pts home and away in 2019,,, although I do understand that these are not the 'proper' averages, as per programme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets back to his usual as he is the key rider as opposed to Thomas and Lasse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Tsunami your response to my message of Jorgensen's score at Kings Lynn was sarcastic (!!??) But I'm afraid he was not funny on Sunday.

I would have Ayres and Barker if possible. But probably not going to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
