Guest Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Weather appears to finally be behaving itself. A fixture I'm sure both teams have been greatly looking forward to. Should be a cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove down from Essex through rain, flooded road etc, now 3 miles from track and weather looking good so looking forward to a good meeting with an Eagles win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their travels Glasgow seem to be turning into Berwick, eight points up after eleven races and then lose by four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three away meetings in a row we've looked in control of things only to fall in a heap in the final few heats Edited July 4, 2021 by Paulco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I dont think ive ever seen 2 sides ride so badly , for 10 races eastbourne bar newman and brennan were atrocious , the last few glasgow bar ulrich fell to bits, another 3 races eastbourne would have pulled away. Piddled down right on start time but glasgow just beat eastbourne like a drum out the starts and it wasnt easy to make ground. Lawson was superb late on and brennan kyboshed sedgeman in 14 leaving a jcb type space for kemp. Ht 15 cook pushed lawson up the bank and ully took the brunt, meanwhile brennan hit the grip right on inner of turn 2 and went past both tigers like they had punctures. Kennett is woefully out of form, wells and sedgeman started brightly for glasgow but folded tamely. Glasgow deserved a point tho. Track wasnt bad considering , im not sure either side are league winners mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a regular thing for a lot of teams away at the moment, Eastie normally do the same away. Think a fair bit is the wet June weather, seems to catch the home team out more at the start of a meeting as its alien to the norm for them, taking half the meeting to get the track back for the home team to feel comfortable, then being able to bang in the points late on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might want to consider doubling down in the NL next season so he can feel like a big shot again which seems so important to the man.

Gazc Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Still confident we can beat most teams over a two legged tie which is we’re it matters. Still disappointing but another point on the road which before the meeting most would have accepted. Edited July 4, 2021 by Gazc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes gathering evidence apparently. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerro Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Another point on the board but you're kidding yourself on if its not a concern the way we tail off at the latter end of meetings. 58-32 i make the aggregate score from ht11 onwards in our last 3 away meetings . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly, what happened at Redcar, to Eastbourne's benefit. Redcar riders, pretty much, set up as the track is normally and on a greasy heavy surface, they got murdered out of the gate. It did not help, trying to ride normal lines, on the greasy surface. By the time you adjust, to the different conditions, the match could have gone. It often helps the away side, because they come with no pre conceived ideas about the track and take it at face value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't crunched the numbers and clearly it's risky. We're no strangers to manipulation, is this showing our manager's lack of experience? Hindsight is 20/20 of course, but if we'd swapped Justin for Connor in 8 and targeted a 3-3. Edited July 4, 2021 by Joseq7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
