I was actually dubious about making the 50 mile round trip due to the predicted weather forecast. I wonder how many more were put off by that? Turned out there was no rain whatsoever at the stadium. I think it's a problem these days tho. The threat of 'not good weather',,, it seems to be allover the place atm and in your face, possibly due to the climate crisis thing going on.

Cast1rn Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Finishing out the top 3 is surely a very realistic probability, if you were in the driving seat where would you make the 1 change that could make a worthwhile difference?

You'll need to make 2/3? The obvious is a 4 pointer for Lee. Or Tate in for Novak. But really is it going to make that much difference? Your team average is too high ironically!

If you can source the 4 point reserve going to score 6/7 points home and away you're a better man than me.

If we're thinking about shaking things up - and I think it's now too late - we need to change the structure of the team to have a stronger number six. This would require two changes. Brennan and Complin out - but no idea who to bring in - so dont think this is a goer at all. We need to stick with what we have, or make changes with next year in mind. We still have nine league meetings left, enough for a new rider to get a "proper" average for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the homeless Aussie in the star or take a gamble on a 2 pointer, we seem to have missed the boat, when hook was available or James Pearson.

They would never get rid of Tom imo. But seeing as you brought it up as an option, the two that come to mind are Rew or Blodorn - though haven't checked on averages. Should have got Batch when you had the chance (no idea he good or bad he is at Glasgow btw!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted July 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Bellego is showing as a 4 in prem averages. Is that accurate or that he can't go below it? Is Jo's converted average his genuine average or would it be on a 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Be surprised if complin lasts into August. Be an Aussie of some description to replace probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really should have ridden his last meeting tonight. Lee Dicken springs to mind watching Lee nice bloke but not cutting the mustard. It is leaving us badly exposed at reserve and has done for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every speedway fan up and down the country loved it when Lee came to their track back in the day. He’s probably trying harder than ever nowadays but it’s just not there anymore. We’ve came up against the top 3 teams this season and have been pumped every time. It’s going to be the same outcome again unless there are changes.

This year 2nd is the same as 6th, so finishing "outside of the top 3" doesn't really mean anything, unless you are 7th - 9th (which Glasgow won't be). I honestly don't know if there's a 4.00 rider out there who will score more than Complin, I think I'd stick & back the lads to come good. Don't forget losing away to the top teams won't cost them the league - unless it's big defeats in the play-offs.

Don't forget losing away to the top teams won't cost them the league - unless it's big defeats in the play-offs. It's who he's beating that's of major concern. He scores in his first heat and maybe 14 (at home) with the exception of Birmingham and Edinburgh he can't beat anything over two points. Last night was the exact same as Redcar away, if Claus and Tom have a difficult evening we lose and lose badly. I also completely understand that if you don't finish top it doesn't matter where you finish in the top 6 with regards to playoffs but it's the way we will lose that's of disappointment. 4 pointer wise, it really doesn't matter who they find, but I'd give someone a go and I'd do it soon to allow who evers coming in a chance to get dialled in to ashfield Before the playoffs period is upon us.

Is Pearson not at Plymouth now? Now regarding Complin here's a wee thought? He is doubling down with Mildenhall and has been taking a fair number of NDL guest bookings. At his age is this extra physical activity and travel stress affecting his performances for Glasgow and although I appreciate it is part of Lee's income, would Glasgow be within their rights to say one team only or is their employment laws to prevent such a thing?
