ragdoll64 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Looking forward to this one.........get the starting gate ripped up at the beginning and not late on like last week. Harris has had some mares of late, but I wouldn't count on him doing badly tonight. Leicester have a fairly good top three and a strong reserve in Mountain so we need to be on it. Can someone please tell Lawlor he can vape on the second bend......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Clash of the CL Titans this and should be a classic both in Glasgow and Leicester. Both sides have slipped a little I think, Leicester more obviously due to injuries and Glasgow I think as they need Vissing to ride like a Heat Leader more regularly and Bickley to be more consistent especially away where sometimes he rides like a novice. Hard to call and as Stuart Dickson has pointed out / started the mind games, Somerset and Eastbourne (both of whom have possibly better top 3's than Glasgow or as least as good) have gone very close there in recent weeks. The track at Glasgow is fantastic and should be a great meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers need Sarjeant to get some points.No heat advantages when Cook wins his races is telling.Its only keeping Tigers in the match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see any available direct replacement for Sargeant on his 4.61 average and I can't see them dropping anyone else to allow changes. He should be able to get back to grasping a few points here and there.......soon, I hope. (.......oh, and I wish he'd stop revving his bike like a boy racer before approaching the tapes.....lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorj Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Should be another cracker , as a neutral I did debate whether to travel up for this one , but will wait and see if they both get in the playoffs after my hols not sure which way it will go, Sargeant needs to up his game and Connor Mountain a trump at reserve but reckon Glasgow will just pull it off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing back Sarjeant is coming home to roost as this is what you get from him. He's easy to mask in a strong team but at this point we arent as strong and need him to score points. We had the choice to make at the end of last year to retain Sarj or Nathan Greaves. I'll leave it there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highroad119 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) Glasgow were a wee bit fortunate tonight and some dubious tight finishes swung it our way. Good entertainment again tonight with several decent races. Leicester played there part and Connor mountain and Ryan Douglas especially looked very comfortable around Ashfield.

ruckerroo Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 No2 is by far the hardest position to cover in this league, perks seems above average in that position. Lots of sides basically have a nl heat leader at 2, sargeant should be doing way better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Another decent meeting finishing with another superb ht15. Despite Glasgow winning 12 of the 15 heats we picked up 10 last places where Leicester were consistently picking up points largely through super reserve Connor Mountain. With Bailey (blameless) and Sarjeant failing to score that put unnecessary pressure elsewhere on the team. It really is time to replace Sarj if there is a better option available, he is woeful and wasnt even ready in ht10 when the tapes went up despite arriving at the gate in plenty time. For Leicester they can look to Lawlor for failing to get a league point in trying to round Starke in ht3 and taking a bounce off the b2 fence when he should have sat in for the point. Ht7 was absolute poetry as Harris did the old look down at the engine on lap 2 of his ineffective TS ride, when making no ground on Jensen. Good to see it wasnt just us he pulled that s*it with. On to tomorrow it could be a long night for us at LEI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Another enjoyable night culminating in heat 15 which was another belter , it was even better than Tuesday's cracker which i didn't think was possible. But we are there for the taking due to only having four riders contributing. Bickley is at least scoring some points and Bailey you can understand him struggling but shows promise. And on to the enigma that is Sarj he hasn't scored a point since becoming a proud father, but in order to be more convincing he needs to up his game considerably bottom line we cant continue to carry passengers we have got away with it twice in a week , we won't continue to get away with it , some tough decisions may have to be taken if his dip in form continues.

I know it’s harsh but Bickley should be more consistent, but the main problem is Sarjeant.You certainly can’t carry 3 riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree and that is why decisions will have to be taken as it cannot continue Sarj should be scoring 5 or 6 at home but tonight he was woeful. Kyle has performed way above what we expected and it is understandable to expect inconsistency at some point. Probably a season too early for Bailey but we are were we are due to fitting Cook in on his average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle is still young ,but he had a full season last year ,he is stylish but slow and doesn’t like it till track slickens off.I like the look of Bailey but it’s next season for him to make progress.Imo Cooks average is going to be even more of a problem next season the way he is going.

Surely they can't continue with the stupid 38.5 team limit next season, it was madness this season it would be the same next with a huge dose of stupidity thrown in for good measure. Most riders will have inflated false averages because of it , common sense surely takes over and they see sense but will they ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
