Glasgow v Redcar CL 2/8/19@19.30


Recommended Posts

Another entertaining meeting and the Bears probably deserved the point , highlight being Riss and Jensen in heat 13.

Young Connor improves by the week and was well on the pace and young Kyle continues to impress he should try the wider line more as he looks in control and a lot faster using this line.

But another 3 points in the bag and down to Eastbourne tomorrow night to hopefully make the final , a big ask without Starke who was badly missed tonight but you can never write this team off.

People are saying he is out for 6 weeks,don’t know the source though.

Announced tonight he has broken both wrists has one in plaster and the other was only a hairline break and strapped up, confirmed he will be out 5 - 6 weeks.

Another excellent meeting on a very warm night but disappointing to give away a league point to a team who only provided three race winners. Palm Toft looked disinterested unlike last time and Riss warmed up as the night went on. Glasgow did well changing the reserves to suit each heat with Bailey really coming on each week. I would hold off on the race suit for MBA, he needs to ride more assertively and learn quickly that he'll have to pick a line, inside or out, sitting mid track invites passes. However 1 point is 1 better than Sarj in his last 2 home meetings.

Hopefully next week we will have a replacement for Starkey, r/r yielded 4 points tonight, far less than PS would have.

Think r/r for Starkey doesn't look a good thing. Not sure who could fill his boots for a while, cos he's a proper soldier and will be missed.

On an average of 6.44 it wont be easy. Palovaara would fit but he really would need to be much more aggressive, he tends to win if he gates but settles too easily after bend 2 otherwise. Starkey is the engine room and will switch inside and out trying to chase an opponent for a point. Whats not in doubt is that r/r cant continue.

Bears may have only had 3 race winners but Glasgow had 9 last places that's why the Bears got so close.......

Sad to hear about Paul.

good man to have in your team , solid and a trier. Hard to replace.

Probably impossible to replace the points he gets especially at home on his average.

Need to try and pull a rabbit out the hat , i suspect Starkey will be back before the 6 week timescale.

Eight last places and an FX for Cook  compared to Redcar's six. Tough start for MBA which needs to improve.
