Scunthorpe v Kent - Championship - 9.7.21


Recommended Posts

This could be another tough one as riders seem to get some form against Scunthorpe as in Gappmaier's away form, here, last week & Clegg scoring well in his home meeting last Sunday. Judging by the tv meeting Monday, Nicholls is riding well, Starke had his best meeting & we know what Gilkes can do. We just do not want Heeps to score much.

Will there be a change in the Scunthorpe ranks with posters on here mentioning Macdonald but he did have a bad one the other week so his confidence could have took a knock but, as I & others have mentioned, you can not take your eyes off him as he does not look in control & an incident is bound to happen.

We could bring Kinsley back but could we wait until around the 6th of August after Ellis has, hopefully, his 4th home meeting to get a true average.

Couldn’t we bring Kinsley in now because as a team we currently average 39.50 Macdonald averages 4.00 and Kinsley is 3.19 which means we are below the 39.00 team average required if you have a 1* ( Jordan )

Like for like or below so yes. Ellis at the moment is averaging about 6.50 so compared to his assessed average, we should have a bit extra to play with.

Yeah see what you mean if we hang on we could get a huge reserve or a rider good enough to push Simon to reserve

Nicholls, Starke & Gilkes could score well, Heeps & Morley have been here before with Hurry & Mulford unknowns. They could TS if behind & keep it close similar to last week. Track prep could be key.

Yeah we need that grippy outside line that wasn’t there last week

Top all round team performance tonight. Was really pleasing to see Josh MacDonald in the points too.. Special shout out to Tero who claimed his first paid maximum in 11 years!

Onto Lesta tomorro....

Yeah can’t say how happy I am for Josh to come half way around the world to struggle must be so hard. He looked so much better calmer and smoother on the bike tonight also huge well done to Tero talk of riders who deserve a prem spot he’s a man that does in my opinion he was really getting the crowd going tonight and he loved stuffing Nichols twice one of the first times I’ve head a rider yelling over the noise of the crowd and the bikes !
