Fromafar Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Lack of Heat Winners at home is a major problem.No excuses ,also R/R for a strength in depth Team is a tough ask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacktrackBandit Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 What a night of speedway! Gutted it didn’t go our way, but that’s life. Looking forward to visiting the West Lothian Community Stadium next week as we attempt to gain the all important bonus point. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint would have had more chance of winning heat 10 than getting anything from heat 13. In the end that small margin could well have cost Berwick the meeting (or the draw at least). Although arguably not using a guest was the death knell before a wheel was turned. Flint really should be used in a Heat Leader position (especially at Home).IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've put Coles in 13 imo I get your point, but still would have put Flint in 10 & Knudsen in 13. As Berwick lost a 5-1 in heat 13 don't think it was a masterstroke saving Flint for that heat. Would Flint have beaten Thompson in heat 10, we'll never know? Fair point about Complin getting 2 on the trot.

Fair point about Complin getting 2 on the trot. Looked good until Pickering got past flint. I understand the thinking as looked a sure 5-1 at that point with TJ and Knudsen. Like you say turned out that way anyway, so might been mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I was there we got beat by a five man team that lost a heat leader in his first race I walked out that night and thought to myself this is rubbish,so no i definitely won't be the first one to complain couldn't give a toss,Dick.Whats the point of having BSN if you don't use it,by not going saved myself roughly £70 for the two of us with entry , fuel and chippy think you would be the first to moan about your free Saturday nights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC67 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Despite taking the lead, I never really believed we could win this one. We don't have the necessary firepower to win the big heats , too many points thrown away tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM95 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 2 hours ago, szkocjasid said: Can't understand why Berwick have given Lee Complin a r/r outing, means a top 5 rider is going to miss out? Any time this happens I think it's a mistake, if the reserve loses form & team men improve, which may have happened as Flint & Knudsen won their last rides, then a team man has lost a ride! But if you use the team men as r/r & they don't improve, can still replace them with a reserve (Complin) in any race, so there's no risk of getting it wrong! Surprised you haven’t been head hunted for a team managers job yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t agree more, fantastic meeting and just a shame the result didn’t go our way. Some Bandits “fans” may not agree but then again what will they complain about if we were unfortunate enough to be in the position of Newcastle, Eastbourne or so many other fan bases. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast1rn Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Great stream again, and surprisingly lots of good passes. Cookie looks far better minus the tache and from Picko's words at the end he seems like an extremely determined captain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 To dick and his start line crew. Get it up ye. Chucking their arms in the air every time Craig was out to try persuade the ref. Seeing dick on his hands in knees when Leon packed up cherry on top of a good win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
