Birmingham v Edinburgh 08/06/22


Recommended Posts

Brummies are being killed at reserve, I know the kid pearson is only 16 but looks out of his depth and lacking in confidence, ultimately his lack of points is costing the Brummies, glad Stefan Nielsen is finding his form, team changes must happen if we are to avoid the wooden spoon, i know people will say im being harsh on the young lad pearson, but its a results business, back in 2010 we had Jake Anderson who was hardly scoring a point but the other 6 lads were scoring for fun to cover it, this brummies team dont have Jason Lyons, Sweetman and Johnno and Aaron Summers to score at least 40 points per meeting between them to help the poor kid out

I so wish we could have been persuaded Edwards to stay on for this season. Class act at reserve. 

Agreed shame his base is so far away otherwise he would’ve as I know him and his dad really enjoyed it last year. 
 

good result in the end made a little bit hard work of it but 4 big points that were much needed.

I think you are being harsh here mate, look higher up in the Team 3 Heat Leaders 3 wins between them tonight thats simply not good enough, Brum wont finish bottom but only because Newcastle are worse.

Same every match, heats 13 & 15 5-1 to the opposition.

Was just going to say the same, if Brum are not at least 8 points ahead by heat 12, we lose, we just look so weak and vulnerable in heats 13, 14 and 15, things have to change

Having a proper No1 would help, but it seems a rider similar to Nicolai Klindt who was rumoured to have wanted a UK Team was either unwanted or unaffordable, there is no doubt in my mind Nicolai would have strengthened the Brummies when he was available, who is out there now Iv no idea.

The difference from the teams tonight. They had a number one and five and we didn’t. They had a reserve what got them points and wins. We didn’t. 
 

Listening to the last brummies meeting on BBC WM someone said Luke Becker is available  Why don’t we go for him and Rowe at reserve and either more Vissing to 3 Sedgy at 5? Or get rid of Vissing and get someone else.

Reserves need to outscore their rivals, they play a big role in a meeting if the opposition reserves score 10-12 points and your reserves pick up only 5 to 6 then you are almost certainly going to lose more matches than you win, but in saying that you do need your heat leaders to score biggish, Brummies are struggling and as said before heats 13-15 we tend to lose the heats, but again i will say our reserves are costing us big time at the moment, we cant seem to get an heat advantage in heat 2 either, Rogers needs to pull a few rabbits out the hat before the season turns even more disastrous

The streaming is better but not brilliant. 

I hope Paul Bowen is not a regular - really irritating. 

Lee Kilby and the girl were excellent. 

But the race commentators were talking constantly and not giving themselves a chance to think. So they spouted so much wrong stuff. (Interesting that 6 points ahead going into the last race meant Edinburgh had not secured the win!) 

Track desperately needed water from the beginning but didn't get it till there was a blue groove.

Tough to criticise too much as the budget will be really tight. It was annoying me how often they mentioned a 5-0 in ht15 would have snatched a draw. Ehh nope. 
 

Only caught the second half of the meeting but having Sam and Josh in ht13 and ht15 is such a bonus. Gives real confidence even if slightly behind. Ht14 was a great 1-5 too

To be fair, the graphic on screen at the time said 40-45 so whilst wrong, the sentiment was correct ;)

Parts of Birmingham had extremely heavy flash spells of 5-10 minutes torrential rain during the morning / afternoon. It was very localised but had they have had a couple of those they would have been marginal in terms of having the meeting on.

There are occasions when you are damned if you do and damned if you don't and on this occasion to have significantly watered during the day would have been a massive risk.

Anders Rowe for Pearson should be a definite.....

As for other team places, it's looking bleak for the rest of this season.....Vissing and Auty need replacing 'permanently', but I can't see where the finances will come from.

Nielsen is the only rider that's performing above his average by looks of it?

But is Rowe available.

There are all sorts of stories going around including one of him only riding overseas to advance his career(???)

Probably not ? (after 'Ellis-gate' at B'ham, I dont bother reading/listening to stories/rumours :))

If he was available, then I think Poole would've found a loophole to replace Ablitt  with him? :D

Hi Scotty , Thanks for tuning in last night. Ill be honest it was my first go on the BSN commentary as the team and i thought we would give it ago to see what happens. As it happens i did make a few mistakes here and there and sometimes probably came out with wrong phase, I think even i under estimated how hard it is to comment on Live speedway as it happens so fast. Its gave me a real appreciation of commenters and how skilled our own Ian Brannen is! My style is very different to most Looking at the comments I'm defo a marmite kind of person as I've had a lot of lovely comments and like yours not so good. Just wondering if i was to do another one again what could i improve on to be less Irritating? But don't worry it wont be too soon and ill be back in the Booth on Sunday in Newcastle.
