This Glasgow team needed Cook to be banging in huge scores week in week out and Ostergaard to be a strong second heatleader to allow Basso and Brennan to kick on a bit. It isn't happening at the moment. Cook seems to still be a half decent number one but not the major force he was for so many years whilst Ostergaard is 40 coming back from a serious injury. Still look a decent team but can't see them up there with Poole and Leicester. Exactly, brennan and basso are doing fine, cook, ulrich and especially nicol are where the issues are . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook is till a decent No1,maybe not as dominant but he had avery high standard to maintain.Ulle is the major problem as 2nd Heat leader ,just not performing most of the time.Nicol has just lost the plot career going backwards don’t think many seen that coming.

Yeah he's not the dominant best rider in the league he once was but still scoring to his average which I believe is what was asked of him at start of season. Ulle is most definitely the biggest issue, riding on Willie Lawson level machinery it looks like. Broc scoring 1 from reserve totally unacceptable, getting beat by Connor Coles of all people. Connor probably a weak link at 2 just now away from home as well. Several 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems at Glasgow have been there for all to see for a while now. Cookie doesn't seem to be in the right place at the moment and he always looks angry and unhappy, Ulrich is a nice guy but he's no longer a heat leader especially away from home, Ben Basso isn't the huge steal expected him to be after all the initial hype, Connor can only score decent points around Ashfield when he's riding at reserve and i really don't know what to say about Broc because he seems to be having a truly dreadful season (apart from the last home meeting against Edinburgh in which he got a four heat maximum) and Danyon is simply Danyon. I don't know what i would do if i were the manager of Glasgow as it doesn't look like there is much anyone can do except try to install more confidence into the team which the present manager doesn't really seem to be able to do. The Tigers will still finish in the Top 4 but as Poole proved the other week, there is no way Glasgow could win a two-legged semi-final or final against a team like the Pirates or Leicester.

Hmmm, interesting! What did people expect? He was reserve most of the time he was at Poole in a part of last season when the team was on winning run/good form. He think he is doing well considering he is at 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basso certainly isn’t the issue doing perfectly fine the issue is our second heat leader and senior reserve. One that can’t hold position due to riding a lawn mower and the other is consistently inconsistent. Edited June 11, 2022 by Gazc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben is an untried asset and you complain when he scores 9, including two race wins. Sack him. There would be a long queue to sign him, believe me. I'll take Danyon too. Cookie is brilliant, sometimes. Not sure I could cope with the moods though. Edited June 11, 2022 by False dawn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look particularly unique in size or shape but every time I've watched or been the home guys are so far ahead. Also have guys like auty, aarnio, Lambert etc that only seem to perform there. Can understand it with Berwick, Edinburgh, Plymouth but Scunthorpe's a real head scratcher to me If you cannot ride the EWR then you can't ride anywhere. Its so wide, no massive cambers, lots of lines and every man and his dog practises there out of season. A track you can go all out on and take calculated risks, so good racing usually ensues, we are spoilt rotten! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
