Scunny v Birmingham x3 - 28.07.2023


Recommended Posts

So now the Aussies are in the SWC race off on Friday so will it be a squad meeting or will riders be released. Australia used Fricke, J Holder, Doyle, Lidsey & C Holder was an un-used no5 so in order I would think Masters before Douglas so Dougy should be available on Friday.

 We will probably still go r/r but having the chances to use either of the Cook brothers before, I would go with 1 of them again.

Crazy given how poor Morris had been..

It will need much more than 1 guest for the Brummies to get something out of this, but tell me do you like to see decent opposition or prefer to see weak opponents ?, our old saying was happiness is 40-38, usually not much fun watching 60-30 week in week out.

SCUNTHORPE: Ryan Douglas, Drew Kemp, Simon Lambert, Zach Cook, Jake Allen, Nathan Ablitt, Connor Mountain.

BIRMINGHAM: Richard Lawson, Stefan Nielsen, Troy Batchelor, Paul Starke, Justin Sedgmen, Sam Hagon, Alfie Bowtell.

Pleased we have gone with a guest and a decent one as well, as we need to get a big win and then go to Perry Barr and get the minimum of the bonus point  to keep going up the table

ps does any one know when Tofty is due back ??

Just read on KL v Peterboro' thread that the announcer had said MPT suffering mentally, physically & financially. Unsure whether he would ride again this year & with only 4 days until transfer deadline.

Anyone else feel like Birmingham could spring a surprise tonight…. Lawson, Nielson, Sedgmen all go well at Scunny! Bowtell a trump card at reserve! Not sure how Batchelor has gone before but if he's half decent then i think Birmingham could push Scunny a lot closer than people think

No - but I'd love to be proved wrong :D

Lawson should score more than Morris has this year, Batchelor ???, Sedgemen could score more but could be a track he can not master set up or lines, similar to Masters. The others, again, hit or miss but this could be nearer to 50-40

I think Birmingham could spring a surprise - by getting over 40 points

Not quite 40 but nevertheless an excellent meeting, having Richard Lawson in place of Morris in the Brummies team gave them more strength and if Troy Batchelor had been any good scores would have been a lot closer, very impressed with Ablitt, gets better every week but will Drew Kemp ever have any good luck.
