bri1966 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Poor entertainment. All races over by 2nd bend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Away wins are a very rare thing for Berwick, so I`m sure this one will be celebrated well into the night. Excellent win and well team managed with the right riders being replaced in the right races. For Berwick to early to get carried away, but what a great win, while for Newcastle to early to panic but they need to improve especially at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJC71 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 It may be early but heat leaders have not got going yet (particularly Bjerre) which exposes the tail which is too long. Lambert & Wethers are reserves riding in the top 5 and the reserve pairing isn’t strong enough. Not sure where the improvement in that bottom 4 is going to come from. Can’t see this being the team come the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icicle Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 A bit of both...methinks away wins of Berwick won't be such a rarity this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last few seasons our record away from home has poor to say the least, so lets not get carried away. We have Glasgow home and away at the end of the week, do well in those meetings and we really could be onto something. However for tonight lets celebrate a great win at Newcastle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbarian Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Going to be a long season if that display by Newcastle is anything to go by. Only Clegg came out of that meeting with any credit for Newcastle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond@heart Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Absolute s***e. Phillips not good enough for this league and both Lambert and Wethers pi$$ poor. Wethers needs to improve and Lambert and fast, I think the team already needs a major shakeup and we are only two meetings in. Only Clegg has impressed me so far. I don't mind losing but we need to compete and we are not, we are poor out of the gate and giving ourselves a massive hill to climb.

erniew Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Still thawing out after watching a poor performance by the Diamonds on a track that resembled a concrete oval that had so little shale on it I don't know why we had so much tractor racing as there was nothing to grade! Heard mutterings on the terraces from some of the die hard fans saying if things don't improve the will consider not coming back. Worrying, if that happens I can see the Diamonds not seeing the end of their 90th season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauger65 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Absolute shocking performance … well done the bandits … very worthy winners and the scoreline was a fair reflection in their superiority to us well ive watched the 1st 4 meetings and we still cant gate we look slower …….. opposition pulls away or catches us ……… even at home 2 of our riders look happy just to survive 4 laps at home ! 3 look short of confidence ………… already apart from bjerre who beat the woeful gappmaier (truly pathetic non effort) ….. every other diamond lost his dual with his counter part ………. and at home that is totally unacceptable our 3 heat leaders have thus far been poor, and of the other 4 only clegg has impressed whilst every team should be increasing their average to 42 …….. we will be lowering ours !! whilst its not time to panic ………………. the alarm bells are ringing …. cant remember the last time we started with 4 defeats but I suspect it wasn't a good season we haven't even reached Easter and it looks like another long season ahead …….there were NO 'positives' about tonights performance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick definitely wanted it more... we need fortress Brough Park and the sooner the better... two totally different tracks from last week to this... it's not the NSS it needs to be grippy and the grippier the better... there is no home track advantage whatsoever at present... Needs to be sorted sooner rather than later... Regards THJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
