Triple.H. Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Broken finger !!!! I remember watching Kenny Carter being carried out of, and back into the pits with a broken leg at Oxford in a qualifier for the British Final, and it was pretty much drizzle all day and throughout the meeting. Mind you his leg was only broken in 4 places. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the riders really ask for it this way or did we do this by design to put off Redcar and it backfired? Novak was uninterested after ht1, Pijper came down heavily in ht2 and struggled until it slickened off in later heats, as did most of the team whilst getting a gating lesson from Redcar. From the outside looking in it doesnt look like we gave ourselves the greatest opportunity to win the meeting. The tie was already gone.

Noelinho Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 To be honest, not the worst match to lose give to he state of the tie, but all the boys got beaten in races they shouldn’t tonight. Some credit to Redcar, especially Charles, but the Tigers looked like they didn’t have the starts, the setups or the stomach tonight. 6 point loss flattered them - Redcar were better than that.

There was racing in it for those who were up for it. 16 passes I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was the problem not many off the home team were up for it. Obviously certain members of the team hadn’t bothered to read Tom’s comments about hitting them early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately with such a long time out I feel the sport has passed him by, as he seems off the pace. Maybe it is his equipment or the muscle he carries but something is just not clicking for him.

SteelShoe Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 After watching Glasgow against Scunthorpe recently I'm surprised at how easy the Tigers appear to have succumbed. Great result for the Bears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 It's a difficult pill for Glasgow I'm sure. Harris isn't firing as he did last year, Vissing is probably exceeding expectations of some. Basso and Brennan are good prospects but both are at that stage where their careers could go either way and neither are yet consistent heat leaders let alone able to take weight off Harris. The other aspect is that both Basso and Brennan make be more focussed on PL and certainly on opportunities abroad and probably saving best kit for that. The reserves are a combination of an excellent young kid who has a great future but would ideally be supported by an older hand who takes the pressure off, the reality is Complin has regressed from last season. Muscle bound / building simply does not work in speedway, the bulk affects weight / power ration, it's more a sport for jockeys than body builders. Look at Lewis Bridger as an example when he tried the muscle man fitness route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they ride Redcar better than we ride Scunny (well we will see on Friday I guess). Edwards moves up and Bailey at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinderfella Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Glasgows two reserves should stick to the NDL : Ace to get the experience and track time to build his confidence without the pressure of CL expectations. Lee should enjoy his racing at the lower level with Mildenhall because he is not going to reach the levels he did before. Lee is also, imo, taking on too many other bookings with added travelling and, I don't care what anyone argues, he cannot possibly give Glasgow 100% either physically or mentally. Who Glasgow would get as replacements is another story and perhaps 3 changes are actually required to make the numbers add. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
