Didnt really look a weak link tonight - having Riss back a lift for the whole side. Good to see King back on form, and both Hume and Bailey rode hard for not as many points as they may have deserved. But hats off to Mulford tonight, best home performance by a mile and rode really well. Shows what at least getting to the first bend in the mix can do, but made some great passes and will surely take a whole load of confidence from tonight. Knudsen had a strange night, looked excellent in his first two and then nowhere. Hook did his job but otherwise a poor performance. A big well done to Rory Schlein however - my nephews always stand and wave at the away riders vans as they leave. They often get a wave back, but Rory stopped his van and gave them a cap which they were absolutely over the moon with. A simple but effective way to get two new fans. You can say that Redcar were good tonight, but ultimately Poole did the same to Redcar, as what Redcar did to Berwick tonight, a few weeks ago. Redcar are a very good side though and made a mockery of Berwick tonight. As for the Bandits, it was a story of our season so far. Carrying too many riders, heat leaders not firing and fans becoming more and more frustrated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will find out soon as we are back there next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they didn’t underestimate them, Poole had won their last 2 meetings at Redcar and just rode much better as a team on the night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Gavin Parr say that after only losing by 6 at Poole, he thought they had done the hard work to get through. So sounds like they did a bit to me.

If Berwick finished top of that list, they would make the playoffs. Need positive results against these teams and pick up anything against the other 5. Was at Redcar and should have went to Edinburgh like you instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I guess if you are used to winning everything you have to look for any perceived slight for motivation. Poole were just far too quick and determined on the night.

For this reason yesterday's result doesn't really matter for Berwick (apart from pride) with Birmingham, Edinburgh & Plymouth losing multiple times at home, as long as Berwick can win or "draw" at home they'll make the play-offs, don't even need to worry about aggregate points!

Trouble is Poole,Glasgow and Redcar are very good at Berwick.! I see Plymouth as main dangers though. Ps we are talking about 6th Place though.

I know they're not likely to win anything, but technically finishing 6th by finishing in front of 3 struggling teams I'd all you need to do to gain an extra 4 matches. Then who knows what can happen!

Poole have already won at Plymouth in the league, so you can tick that one off! I think at Edinburgh will be the questionable one imo.
