Going away from home if you can match or score just over your average it leaves the challenge at home far more manageable. Sitting on a 8/9 average your not going to put much on it if any. Your number 3, Second strings and reserves is where I'd be looking for increases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your number 3, Second strings and reserves is where I'd be looking for increases I completely agree, but when some riders are struggling you should also expect your higher average riders to be picking up some of the slack, especially if you arent scoring in your 2 big rides in 13 and 15.

That's the only part of Steve I'm not a fan of, if he ain't out the gate fast, he isn't going to be hanging off the bike for 4 laps riding the kickboards to get the win and that is most definitely lacking in heats 13 and 15. But what I'd say Glasgow's major issue is we're going in to far too many heat 13's and 15's needing a 5-1/4-2 because we've been put in that position with the middle order lacking heat advantages in their programmed rides up to that point.

You kinda need Lawson don't you! He loves the pressure heats when you need a 5-1 to win. Steve is opposite, the less pressure the better. (This is going by what they say in streaming and press conference interviews in the past). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a change in team construction this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree Worrell is not usually the man for pressure Heats but he maintains a good average.No easy races at Ashfield though,unlike making the gate at Poole Edited May 12 by Fromafar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, one more point from anyone further down the order would have seen us win. Fine margins this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toady Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Great to see batch riding so well obviously likes the track and is confident to race on it just like he did for Swindon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted May 12 Author Report Share Posted May 12 Most teams seem to be close to each other in the Championship this season , so fine margins indeed , Worky had some bad luck with Efs and re starts but so have other teams that will work against them.

Think it is going to be a tight a League,but if the Cook Bros find last seasons form it’s Pooles to lose IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see any team other than Poole winning the league this year…..unless there is an unexpected astute signing made somewhere or someone miraculously hits super form. As you say, it’s very tight between the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was suggesting that it is easier too win if you make the gate at Poole than it is at Ashfield as even Worrell has found out.Good riders can pass for fun At Glasgow as has been witnessed over the last few seasons.

I agree with that, it seems easier to pass at Ashfield although you would think a rider of Worrall's ability should be able to pass at any track. Also it would seem his form has dipped a bit this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
