spin king Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Well we really have put the cat amongst the pigeons. Peterborough look more than likely to finish top. Before tonight I would have said that they would have chosen us at Sheffield. I have a feeling that they may well now choose the Wolves.

NickH114 Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 I thought it would be him, he’s a master when it comes to poor starts and unsatisfactory starts don’t exist when he’s in charge.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Maybe Buster will be doing the Norfolk clubs a favour by walking away if tonight is anything to go by. The woeful track was literally the only reason why Sheffield won tonight. As soon as Sheffield won the toss and Kelvin got the dirtometer out and described the track I knew we were going to lose in all honesty. As I said earlier this evening Bomber was never going to score well on that track tonight because he's a racer who rides the boards and tonight you couldn't do that until the meeting was over. Curb crawling contest for two thirds of the meeting like Daugavpils tbh and if you moved off the line then you was passed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ only has one good ride a night, Riss has been poor this season and the only good Ippo riders don't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 My first speedway meeting for about 2 years and really enjoyed it. One of the good things about Peterborough is the pits view and you could see the great team spirit in the Tigers' camp. If they can keep that up they could win the title. I knew Batch would do well for me! Surprised to see people moaning about the track. It seemed fine to me. There seemed no hint of track issues. Interesting to look into the pits and see that it was Steve Brandon instructing the riders when to go out onto the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it was the track that was the only reason we won tonight. We were making gates for the first time this season pretty consistently (which we haven’t this season at all ) and we were more aggressive on track. All our team contributed on the same night for the first time. Peterborough even had to use the T/S at home which many Peterborough fans said last Thursday shouldn’t be allowed !!! Was the track relaid for this meeting or is it the usual material they’ve used all season ? Personally I think last nights performance from the home team was a one off and they just expected to win. They will be back on it Thursday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite probably but as I've said even if we do nothing in the play offs I am so pleased in what this unit have achieved this season against all the odds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Cant argue that sheffield wanted it way more and were under no pressure, toft and palin seemed to ride new surface ok . Bjarne hasnt been same since that injury , providing pboro win thursday who rides at reserve in play off will dictate who they choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any attempt to come off the quicker inside line meant you generally went backwards. Palm Toft and Palin aside the team was poor and I haven’t said that much this year, Sheffield deservedly won last night. I am hoping it was a wake up call but if we get any more tracks like that matches won’t be the only thing we lose.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last night, I don't think it matters who Peterborough choose. I can't see them getting into the final unless they improve dramatically.
