Jaizer Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Got there in the end once got the set ups right. Top 4 all doing their job, good to see the reserves getting some points, brilliant from Lee in heat 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow had too much strength in depth tonight and Bears far too inconsistent. Bailey had an awful night and so did King to an extent. Fair play to Jason Edwards though, superb showing. Personally think King has been slightly disappointing when it mattered at Home this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Edwards can hold his head high, great win over Basso. Uninspiring performance from the Bears No1. Jason Edwards is a talent as is Luke Harrison who has been brilliant for Bears given his age and experience . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was probably harsh on him as he scored 7 still but with everything else going on we needed more from him tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 I think the ultimate downfall for Redcar this season is the fact they have very little "home advantage". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they got soundly beaten by Glasgow who we always hear have no home advantage. I’ve never believed the argument from any side tbh. We all know Poole’s secret is they hide Danny Ford’s Flumps underneath the starting gates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Watched this on bsn , after 2 heats I thought that we were going to lose, but the boys stepped up well and tbh we got quite a bit of luck, which we have not got last few years, hope Sedgy is Ok, he looked a bit groggy after that off, and poor Connor has had an awful night, was well impressed with Jason Edwards, he would have been my man of the match. Very bad timing for the bears to lose Charles at the play offs, wishing him a full recovery. As a Glasgow fan I am delighted with the result, need to do it all again on Tuesday against Oxford. Good luck to the bears in the KO cup 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Great comeback from Glasgow... fortunately sets next week's match against Oxford up very nicely Glasgow celebrating like they'd won the thing again... just like they did when they won at Scunny in the BSN trophy... look how that ended Edited September 27, 2023 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellers101 Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Poor crowd numbers at Redcar tonight. No surprise there though with Redcar out of the play offs, poor weather, running on a Wednesday, the meeting being on BSN and many fans still angry over Redcar's capitulation by accepting the Sunday date at Oxford with a depleted team. Season fell apart like a cheap watch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No secret at Poole they just build winning sides every year and as I have said many times I wish all teams could do the same your often on here clearly a fan why do you think Poole always get it right and other clubs don't is it money because of it was surely Glasgow would win only going on comments on here.

Against Oxford & if we get to final Poole you just can't get away with that in heat 1 as our reserves in heat 2 are always gonna be up against it so ur right from heat 1 they have to be on it .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably harsh, but Jack Smith is woeful and the irony of Lee Complin regularly playing to the galleries while letting down Glasgow is incredible. I’ll be amazed if between them, they score more than three points tonight. Cami Brown has been forced into using Tarasenko in heat three thanks to two horrendous heats. To be honest you've got a point about complin playing to the galleries tbh I've heard he's a great guy & it is good for the crowd when he does it & he's a character very few now in speedway , but yes as you've noticed if we get to the final it will probably be lee who will cost us any chance of the trophy as top 4 are strong enough now, you cant blame jack if hes a guest on a 2pt average or ace a wee boy learning tho ace is way off it ..I hope to god I'm wrong as I would gladly eat humble pie if at reserve one or both prove me wrong ..but I just don't rate lee on a 4 average hes very bulky and one paced getting a rr ride won't work v Poole we would need all our top 4 battering it on two nights home & away & I doubt that as tom struggles at Poole...that said this was a good win at bears & well done to all the team give it everything v Oxford reserves prove me wrong I hope you do as I would be delighted its not personal at all... also feel for bears as they've had no luck whatsoever recently I wish them well a great club & track ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Speedway needs more riders like Lee Complin though, ok he is carrying a bit of weight but that’s because he trained to be much bigger for weight lifting or was it body building? Either way you can’t just lose that. I guess you could say he over rides at times trying almost too hard but I would rather watch a rider like that than one who always settles for where they gate and constantly pulls up when last. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
