We all know Glasgow will open the wallet and bring in some foreigner on a ridculously low average which means its very important for Scunny to rack up a big score now to secure the bonus point....... it could be crucial in play off race Expand I think Scunny are very safe on the top 4, if Glasgow make it, won't be at their expense. Still expecting a big home win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted July 5, 2024 Report Share Posted July 5, 2024 (edited) Yet again a ref leaves it dangerously late to stop a race before putting all back in the rerun! Do these refs get assessed at all? Edited July 5, 2024 by iainb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted July 5, 2024 Report Share Posted July 5, 2024 How Starke managed a 4th ride whilst young Ace is riding well is baffling. Obviously our manager must know what he is doing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringbackHalifax Posted July 5, 2024 Report Share Posted July 5, 2024 (edited) Watching Scunthorpe match and got to say looks like a rubbishhole. Shocking track and piss poor preparation. Edited July 5, 2024 by bringbackHalifax 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbackHalifax Posted July 5, 2024 Report Share Posted July 5, 2024 Still think Starke, Pearson and possibly Ace are too weak on a home and away basis. Rose tinted specs for those who see James at Glasgow but away he is poor and that threatens the bonus points. Top four gone now, how about bringing over Slater Lightcap with a view to next year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted July 5, 2024 Report Share Posted July 5, 2024 Bomber doing ok, Leon looking better every week. Ace win a raise... clutching at straws here. No idea his commitments but love to see pollestad or similar given a few meeting end of season. This year's gone lets look to next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Agree about James he is very good at Glasgow but away he has generally been poor. Starke can go anytime he wants and Ace hasn’t progressed as much as we thought he would but should still stick with him.

I think it's between the four you mentioned and Glasgow. Unfortunately, I think we've let the aggregate point escape us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Poole doing anything except finding a 2.00 rider, rest are all doing their job. For Glasgow, not easy for to strengthen up with a low points limit, makes it more important to pick the correct team from the start. Expand We're currently 2.08 below the points limit.

Robinh88 Posted July 5, 2024 Report Share Posted July 5, 2024 Scunthorpe too strong. Worrall or not, Glasgow carrying passengers sadly. Flint and Pijper battled well and Bomber awoke in Heat 15 with a great pass in what was actually a great race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirao Posted July 5, 2024 Report Share Posted July 5, 2024 Jack now has a CMA of 5.4 effective shortly. Does that take us over the limit, meaning only like for like changes can now be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I like Pearson I think he’s a decent little rider. Threw in at the deep end really into the main body at the start of the year. Ace is showing improvement and the pair of them are only young lads. As for starke, well I’m glad he riders for Glasgow and not us 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even have 2 home matches in hand over Oxford (5 points behind). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted July 5, 2024 Report Share Posted July 5, 2024 If we are looking to change it will need to be soon as Jacks rolling average will move to over 5 after completing his 6th meeting tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
