Shaleshifter Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 On Wednesday the Pirates take on The Tigers with Glasgow currently sitting in second place in the league. They are 4 points ahead with a meeting in hand. On current form they will be favourites to come away with the points. With ex Pirates Benjamin Basso and Danyon Hume in their team and the likes of Craig Cook, Tom Brennan,Broc Nicol ,Conner Mountain and Urich Ostergaard they will be a huge test for Poole. Pirates have a practice lined up tomorrow to try and get their setup 's right for Wedneday evenings meeting. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that is what the practice is for. As long as we get to 46, then I'm happy..But 49 would be better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Very tough one to call, hope we win of course and alot depends on Zach. Kings improved form is encouraging but it seems we always get one heat leader that is struggling, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel bad for the trackman, by the time Weds hits, would have had 4 or 5 days of 26/27 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 On our current form I can’t see past a ten point Glasgow win. We are not starting meetings well, give the opposition a healthy lead before we actually start to compete. We are not gating and if you are chasing the opposition out of the second bend you are in for a long night. It’s strange to see a lacklustre team but that’s what we currently have. Not going to make the final on the form we are currently exhibiting. And certainly don’t seem to have the passion to actually win it this year. Hope things improve but we would need all 6 riders to click to win, and it hasn’t happened for a while. Be nice to be proved wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be dusty at all or is there a hosepipe ban in Poole,decent track prep should keep the dust to a minimum. Practice session for the superstars,panic has really set in,showing very little faith in the riders imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
