ruckerroo Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Weather looks ok, eastbourne look a bit weak at reserve due to a few issues. Sheffield need a win badly to try and snook in top 4. Nicol will score a boatload at reserve if hes fit but i dont like sheffields middle order at all round arlo Still think lawson and co can get it done 48-42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Before he was injured I'd have said he'd have scored a boatload, but Broc is coming back after quite a lay off and as far as I know this will be his first competitive meeting since that injury, so I don't expect him to be pushing for 21 points. I do hope he does score heavily, but I don't expect it to be a close affair looking at how the other six have ridden technical tracks this season. However I do live in hope of the unexpected!

ruckerroo Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Firstly hope howarth is ok after a bad crash. Secondly the authorities should be bloody ashamed to make a side use a nl 2 nd string , the lad is a promising rider but hes not going to learn a jot from matches like that , getting beat 100 yds every race. Sheffield had to win but somehow they just frittered points away here and there. Eastbourne have to sort the reserve spot out by next wk or they are stuffed completely Best ive seen kyle newman all season tonight, tried his socks off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moranboys Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Have to say a really enjoyable close meeting which really was there for the taking by the Tigers but as mentioned points thrown away needlessly by riders when in a scoring position with the opponent never near enough to make a challenge.3 falls,one by zaine and two by josh.also maybe Simon missed a trick by not being able to use broc in heat 15.anyway it is what it is and a good effort nonetheless.hope Kyle is o.k but now fear his season is over.he was do unlucky to have reared and lost control like he did.and all this after putting in 2very good rides.onwards and upwards now for next season.

cityrebel Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 The match was there for the taking for Sheffield. Far too many thrown away points enabled the Eagles to get out of jail. An entertaining meeting for me as a neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt if he was some johnny foreigner no one had heard of he'd be fine. more ashamed should be Georgie Wood who gets himself another ban for being totally unprofessional for the IOW and letting them and Eastbourne down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely fortunate to be able to have Nicol at reserve. Don't know what his actual average is but after some of his early season scores very surprised if it is under 6.

waco Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) GWC Obviously i agree with your post ,,And Eastbourne now have to live with that poor decision,,that has made the side weak at home .. Wood has proved totally unreliable,, and Bowtell was an accident waiting to happen,,,On the other hand young Edwards needs the experience this season for next year .good move ..they just dropped the wrong rider ..,<>and i know some will say,,Well you would say that would,nt you> Edited September 1, 2019 by waco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his early season scores were very poor, infact he didn't have a decent score until towards the end of May when he started to hit some form, which was mainly when he was guesting for other teams.
