I would love it going down to a last heat decider at Shielfield . We have hit 60 against anybody this season , what makes you think we could do that next week . Thats pretty derogatory towards the Bandits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Interesting footnote,Announcer said it was Top4 play offs,but Alan Dick corrected him saying it was Top6.Announcer conceded that Dick was the expert.So looks like Top6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say before reviewing Sedgman, who scored 7 from 4 rides, and Wells (who scored paid 8 from 4 rides) we should be having a looking at the the decision making processes of the team manager. It’s not the first time this season that we have let potential points slip by decisions made from the pits, both before and during the meeting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point why we just didn’t go with R/R today is baffling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavour Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Could Monarchs fit Sedgy or Ricky in? cant work out what their averages are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Ostergaard will be a massive miss , was always going to be an absolute steal on that average on good equipment. Wells and Sedgmen way past their best and need replacing but there probably isnt anyone out there to replace them with . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monarchs2468 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Terrific entertainment today. Points of note from my perspective; 1. Joe Lawlors late point was vital and he worked so hard to get it. 2. Cookie looks slightly off compared to previous seasons. He fought really hard in cracking races with Worrall and Masters. 3. Not enough water on the track. It didn't seem to detract from the racing but I found it odd, given the large water truck and smaller water tractor, that the dust would be quite so bad from a spectator viewpoint. 4. My favourite moment from today was when Kye was in 3rd and Justin was about to come under him thus forcing Kye out wide. It was almost at that moment Kye realised he can ride the boards (like he does at Armadale). He passed Jye and then after that he was excellent. 5. Brilliant collection for Uli. Speedway is such a great sport but moments like what happened on Friday are brutal. He's on the mend and that's the main thing so get well soon. 6. Looked a very good crowd today. Similar to the SGP qualifier a few weeks ago. Great to see and hopefully everyone was entertained. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Looked a good crowd going by photo on speedway GB site. Am sure cammi knickers will talk up a defeat into a victory Looks like Tigger's need a tweak or 2 if they are going to be as good as the treble winning comets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedgmen only beat the Edinburgh reserves and Wells beat Thomson in his first heat then only the Edinburgh reserves which is masked in their scoring. Both are currently passengers with their averages not yet bottoming out. Here was us thinking we got them on bargains. Sedgmen must be the highest averaged and most experienced reserve in the league after Oor Wullie but doesnt show it. We will find out the new averages for August shortly.

Any idea what has happened to Ricky? He was dipping in form his last season(s) with Edinburgh but although he's not a No.1 anymore he should, or could, be a heat leader. Terrific rider on his day so I'm surprised to see him struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He guested for us several times in 2018 & 2019 and was immense but is a shadow of that now. Perhaps the lockdown nonsense has killed his appetite for speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8scot Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I just had to come on here to say a huge thanks to the track staff today. I feared the worst when the big yellow thing scorched down from the sky but we were saved from a dust storm by some very smart watering. Great track action over Friday and today as local derbies should be. Respect to the boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
