Perhaps as expected Wolves limp out (as good as) the play offs. The last few seasons the same team (give or take the odd change but not much) is good enough in the main season but just awful in the play offs.

Masters has really gone backwards the 2nd half of the season. 
 

the racing was top drawer too which most of us know is often usual fair at Monmore

Small tracks are not for me. But the clips that was showed tonight, showed plenty of passing. Lambo looked like  rode his socks off.

Interesting all 4 back when Haworth ditched it on bend 2 and no exclusion when 1 rider knocked off his team mate

Sheffield trying to win the same way they said was wrong when losing last yr. its within the rules but moral and spirit. Not for me.

Robert Lambert is now the most successful play off rider in British speedway and he hasn’t ridden 10 matches outside the playoffs in Britain in 4 years.

Hope Ipswich win it now.

Sheffield will be praying Vissing doesn’t rule himself fit for Thursday or next week as that would be a mare for them.

Sheffield Select side ! 3 gusts !  One of whom was a play off gust for Belle Vue  last season ! 

Suppose there will be another selection of riders racing at Owlerton on Thursday.

 

 

 

Was it windy at Monmore tonight.

I held my hands up in a follow on post that my research  was not up to scratch, and now i am now happy to hold my hands up and say to Beowolf that i was wrong and Robert Lambert is very good around Monmore lol . :rofl:

I accept your apology. Lambert is a class rider. Unfortunately  we are both in the same boat,  not in the final. Congratulations to Sheffield on a good performance.

Solid performance from the Sheffield unlike any of the previous visits this season, Howarth set the tone in heat one and they consolidated from there picking up vital heat advantages throughout the meeting to end up with a deserved victory.  Only half a job done though as seen Wolves win on more than one occasion at Owlerton over last few years

It's all over, no way Wolves pull this back, sadly. Even a 10 point advantage would have been very dodgy indeed. Tigers Witches final it is.

Sorry to upset the applecart, but as a dyed-in-the-wool Tigers supporter for 58 years, it gives me no pleasure whatever to see "my team" racing in the semi-finals with only ONE rider who actually started the campaign in Sheffield colours. I do not recognise this team as MY team and, even if it should reach the final and emerge victorious, I cannot perceive any circumstances in which I could rejoice in a faux-Sheffield team as Premiership Champions.

Added to which, the "final" itself (assuming faux-Sheffield reach that stage) will be a race-off between the teams that finished third and fourth in the league of seven, making it more a 'mid-table joust' than a contest of champions!

It’s a whole different argument how clubs and fans interrupt the rules regarding replacement riders so I’m not getting into that but I thought Robert Lambert was super impressive last night, to turn up at a track which is nothing like he’s seen in a long while and show the speed whilst having to come from the back a couple of times as well, very impressive.

The talent gap between Robert, Dan and supposedly the next up and comers in British speedway is massive.
