Fenway Bleachers Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 25 minutes ago, jenga said: but your tail just got even longer and with oor willie in the main body of the team looks pretty poor . maybe when you get the next change (august ?) it will be better and the season will be over . so why do it in the first place ? Quite simple really, we have been pants so far this season and struggling everywhere, barely able to win heats 13 and 15, even at home , so getting sam back is a no brainer. Vic and Joel can`t score 15 between them on the road, sam on his own gives us a big hitter. We have a long tail granted, but the previous line up could not win races away. The point at the league leaders suggests a good move, albeit a little late, at least a week in my book , but the red tape might explain that. At least we are competitive and capable of getting 40 away, before hand we were not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj69 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Definate improvement having Sam in the team but the form of Ricky is a worry. Pleasantly surprised at Lawson scoring points and seems to be chipping in more now. Picko and Cammy also doing well and happy with the reserves contributions. Be good to see how we perform at home but I think the rain will put stop to that on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many teams will lead the Lions by 6 points at home during the meeting. Masters was electric away from the tapes in 4 rides. Lawson was the surprise for me. He gated for his points; Pickering I would have as a guest at Leicester. So exciting with his big sweeps around the air fence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 You need to cut Wells a bit of slack here, that injury he's trying to ride with makes it extra difficult on tighter cornering tracks and I'd guess it's why he was put at 2. I've seen many other riders have the same problem and it improves ok in most cases, but in others it has to be dealt with by surgery.

This would suggest recovery will be longer than that expected for concussion. If the Lions need to replace both Worrall and Bates, would they be limited to making like-for-like changes where each new rider has to have an average below the one being replaced, or can they combine the averages of Worrall and Bates and bring in two replacements whose combined averages are less than that total?

If the changes are made individually, they can be like-for-like. If declared at the same time the 1-7 total must not exceed the 40 point team limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference from ' being out of control' and struggling to keep the bike where you want it. Perhaps before making such comments you might want to try riding a Speedway bike around Armadale's current bumpy surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably one of the smoothest tracks in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a slight dip in the surface if you enter bend 3 on a certain area. I wouldn’t class that as a bumpy track. Majority of tracks must be classed as dangerous if we’re going to be classing Armadale as bumpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 When you stand at the pit gates and watch them going up the back straight you can see them bouncing along it then bounce into the 3rd corner there Starky came in and checked he still had his fillings in it’s that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about going of topic Not the worst track in the league by a stretch but when an Edinburgh rider says he needs a Grasstrack bike to get round it you know it's not smooth. Bates, like a lot of younger riders, simply lacks Trackcraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
