Paulco Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hopefully we get the chance to finish the job now , after securing a wonderful draw in Yorkshire a couple of weeks ago . Connor Coles continues to guest at number 6 as new signing, Connor Bailey , is waiting on his machinery arriving from down under . Sheffield should be at full strength so we cant afford to be complacent as there are one or two in their side who enjoy it round Ashfield . The Sheffield fan's new favourite Scottish referee will once again preside over the action in what should be another entertaining encounter at the premier Scottish venue . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 After 2 superb away performances at the tricky technical tracks the boys should be glad to get back to Ashfield. Rasmus did no bad riding at Swindon last night and he and Claus have both qualified for the Danish final. Any sort of win for us will see us into the next round. As paulco says Sheffield have guys that go well around our track so let's pray we get the result we want and that all riders stay safe. Hopefully a good crowd will turn up for what should be a cracking match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guest is for Luke, as you well know. Being in the know can you tell me how the stadium works are doing at Workington hope they don't interfere with the comets plans to return next year. The sport can't afford to lose fans like you 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 It will be interesting to see if our riding order switch will strengthen or weaken us tonight. Kasper s been struggling so to pair him with a reserve is strange !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Another decent meeting at the Field of Dreams, despite the scoreline. Starkey returned to form, Jensen was awesome and Bickley chucked in some good points against arguably the strongest reserves in the league. Broc Nicol was superb when he gated and looks a thoroughly decent prospect, fast and stylish. King Danny started well but faded as he usually does and Howarth was solid but unspectacular. Not much you can say about the rest. So its onward to the next round, hopefully we can get the Scunthorpe rain off rearranged for the next few weeks as otherwise we only have 2 home meetings from now until the end of June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragdoll64 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Had to laugh a wee bit when Zaine Kennedy (who earlier had said there was no reason they couldn't turn the Glasgow result at Sheffield around) throttled off in anger when Kyle Bickley beat him, only to allow Paul Starke across the line in front of him......lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo that , I enjoyed the meeting , there were some decent races , especially 13 and 14 . I had my doubts about the Jensen signing in the winter , but I've been proved wrong , he was awesome again tonight . All in all that was a strong team performance against a decent outfit . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Decent meeting some good heats, a lot of effort from both Teams.Disappointing from Kemp after seeing him there last season thought he would have been in the mix for points.

Paulco Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Proctor hasn't really clicked for Sheffield , looked good last year in that all conquering Workington side , but tonight it was back to previous year's Ashfield visits . Yes there was one or two instances tonight where Sheffield riders got in each other's way a bit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Echo MD's comments. Really entertaining night and slickly run. Managed track grading and watering plus kids race and other giveaways and interviews in around 95 minutes. Young Connor Bailey was there and got a great reception from the crowd. Just wish we had another home match this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't that great when he rode for us before, but I didn't really have any objection with him as a third heat leader for this year. Unfortunately Kyle Howarth has been a bit hit and miss so far this season, as well. If they could all click in the same meeting it would be great.

MD Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Sheffield look like they need another set of averages to find a better balance. Kemp looks like he needs a go at reserve whereas Nicol looks like he could hold his own at 2. Anderson would be better placed at 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerowl Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I think we need a new set of riders, not a new set of averages. A couple of them look like their heart isn't in it. Cook is a better number 1 than King and that was always going to be the case, but Kyle Bickley outscoring Kemp is not something I expected to see and Drew has, apart from the odd ride, has been a disappointment so far. The big difference for me is the comparison between Rasmus Jensen and Proctor. One looks an inspired signing, the other looks like it's turning into a disaster.
