allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Time for Jye to go. Nearly cost us the meeting tonight from some awful riding. Luckily Douglas’ bike problems saved us but no excuses from Jye, not good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it that Berwick lost points in heat 2 with Greg's engine failure, heat 4 with Connor avoiding Mountain in front of him and heat 5 with Leon's engine problems. I also say Ryan should have been of 15 metres in the race he had a problem in as he moved again and he was already on a warning. To me both teams had an equal amount of bad luck in the meeting so probably the end result was fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, Blair never started heat 2, Connor was at the back in heat 4, and Leon was getting passed by Lambert either way in heat 5 due to his teammate being so slow in front of him. I don’t think Scunthorpe won a single point due to luck, you could argue Blair might of beat Ablitt in ht2 but when you don’t even get off the line then I think that goes out of the window.

Normski Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 As a Bandit fan pleased to get a win under the belt. Yes we had a bit of luck with Douglas twice suffering bike problems which I was told were due to his fuel line or it may have been a different outcome. For Scunthorpe Palm Toft, and Clegg were embarrassing Lambert put in a excellent shift as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster00 Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 A much needed win after last weeks debacle Slightly lucky in the sense that Scunthorpe signed a perennial scorer of zero at Berwick in Max Clegg earlier this week but it was good to see Jorgensen looking quicker than he has done in previous weeks Coles continues to work hard and Leon and Rory did enough to back him up Scunthorpe very much a four man team with Douglas very unlucky not to bag a maximum due to bike troubles Quite easily the most entertaining meeting of the season so far which certainly helped 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have their own opinions (that's what its all about). To me Blair would have beat Ablitt in heat 2, Connor was in 3rd (behind Mountain in 2nd) in heat 4 and Leon had problems on the first lap when well ahead of Lambert (he would have easily passed Jye if he didn't have any problems).

BackstaightBandit Posted May 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Disappointing to see Bandit fans calling for certain riders heads after such a great victory to kick off the league campaign, every rider from 1-7 did a sterling job tonight and I’m sure they will continue to work hard and improve. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top six looks pretty clear already unless changes are made by those three clubs or any of the other six sustain significant injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh are looking more suspect for home defeats this season.IMO Agree with bottom 3 unless changes are made.The fixtures are that disjointed that the averages could well come into play regarding signings at the right time though.

Sounds like might be more on the inside of the fence looking out rather than the other way on. One of these weeks we have to announce the crowd changes to the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last season or two its obvious to most the Jye Etheridge has reached his level and wont improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
