Claus turned in some big away performances for Worky, Berwick twice, Plymouth and Redcar come to mind. Expand Similar tracks shape wise but track material very different. Claus has said in interviews he likes clay, something Workington can't go too heavy with it due to the tracks location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTW Posted November 10, 2024 Report Share Posted November 10, 2024 Just looking at the potential top 4 for Glasgow if they get the lower end right they defo would be in the shake up next year Harris 9.07 D Thompson 7.36 Flint 6.68 Howarth 7.27 Total 30.38 with a 40.00 limit leaves enough for bottom end thoughts?

Noelinho Posted November 10, 2024 Report Share Posted November 10, 2024 One interesting with this version of the team is that the reserves are almost certain to stay at reserve all season. I’d argue this is a good thing as you’d hope the other five could all hold their own in their respective positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If the rumours are true , and this is the team , then it's quite an exciting prospect . Bomber will do what Bomber does , score well and entertain us . Dan Thompson could really kick on next season and become the second heat leader . Leon Flint looked to be finally getting the hang of Ashfield towards the end of the season just past. Kyle Howarth is a proven performer and will ride to his average . Young Mr Boughen could be capable of much improvement.

I’d argue this is a good thing as you’d hope the other five could all hold their own in their respective positions. Expand It's a good thing if they are pushing up to 4 point averages but stay at reserve so their scoring doesn't suffer, for example Luke Harrison compared to Sam Hagon. It's not a good thing if they both stay under the minimum 2.00 average, as Glasgow will be very weak at the bottom end. I personally don't see a lot of improvement in them. Whoever is at 6 I think will really struggle. Hodder at 7 would be a decent signing, easier position than last year, so would expect him to put a point on his ave, if that leaves Spencer / Perry at 6, I'd expect them to score like McGurk this year. Depends how often Cami swaps the reserve rides round obviously. Edited November 11, 2024 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's a good top 5 no doubt. But I always think winning sides need a strong reserve. I assume we've built like Poole did this year, but hagon was always going to improve at reserve and then landed foord so reserves were still scoring points.
