ray c Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I think we got to keep it close and keep it to eight points to win the second leg and that will be tight exciting though !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I will be there to cheer the boys on! Tricky one. But speedway riders have been walking tracks since time began, well almost Kurtz knows the track. Must of walked it many times. He should know where the grip is going to be. If theres nothing on the outside, maybe retard the timing a tad or up the main jet to make the bike a bit flatter to grip of off the start ? If it's gate and go. Edited September 13, 2018 by Bald Bloke spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Brady has to perform if we are to stand a chance. Been very poor on his last couple of visits to OTA. Can't call it on aggregate. Could come down to an exclusion or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 It could come down to weak links and both teams have possible weaknesses, Somerset have Covatti and Summers, Poole have Worrall and Kurtz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes down to the aformentioned 4 i would rather have Worrell and Brady any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your missing the point I dont think its about the quality of the riders its about doing there job. Brady is obviously a much better rider than Covatti or Summers and will score more points then them. However Brady isnt up against Covatti he is up against Doyle. Brady needs to be getting double figures otherwise he is a weak link. Worrall from reserve should be scoring 9 or 10 from a likely 5 rides or he will be a weak link. Covatti at number two needs to be getting 6 or 7 and Summers at reserve should be getting 7 or 8 at home. What the poster was trying to say was that if they didnt get those scores they will be letting the team down a bit. Its not about Worrall and Brady being better than Covatti and Summers its about which each individual will bring to the team 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If at Somerset they can only concede a 4-2 and a 3-3 it will help soften the blow. The danger for Poole is at reserve as this season Pooles bottom 2 have been thrashing most other reserves apart from Somersets. Woryna has scored 17 and 9 at Somerset and Poole have still lost both times. If Worrall doesnt perform against Allen & Summers and Pooles top 2 are dominated by Doyle and Holder it could be a 20 point deficit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I am actually thinking we could get our backsides spanked on Monday. I will be there as always cheering on the boys but fear we could be ripped a new a$$hole if some of the team don’t come out all guns blazing. Gary May has gone on record saying they are “going to smash us” and I hope we can come out fighting enough to make the second leg more than a formality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we are all sounding a bit doom and gloom but realistically we need Kurtz and Harris to fire on all cylinders to have a chance, if we can keep it to 10 or less we can do it.

Kurtz has got 6 and 2 in his 2 meetings there this season thats shocking by anyones standards Worrall scored 2 and so did Harris..........these 3 riders hold the key quite clearly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I always have this feeling that when the chips are down the pirates come out with all guns blazing. If May has a normal track with plenty of dirt on the outside it would be a massive gamble. There's no one better than Bomber riding them wide lines. Most of Poole riders favour the wide spaces that Somerset could use, so we have to expect some white line racing where the gaters will benefit riding them tight lines.. This will play right into the Rebels favour, who have been practicing this for a few weeks . I cant imagine this will be pretty to watch, but I can see a substantial home win.. It would surprise me if Poole managed to get 40 points. I think that's what they need to aim for, to stand any chance in the 2nd leg. If I were Middlo I would suggest they lower the gearing to get out that gate and then worry about them behind, once they are in front. Be interesting to see what Monday brings... But I haven't dismissed the Pirates just yet...….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
