spin king junior Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 (edited) Much like Sheffield this coming season, cracking top 5 but massively lacking at reserve. Don't really get the signing of Hodder, struggled to score over 3 bar one guest booking at the arse end of the season. Hopefully it's a case that both Perry and Hodder for the most part a season at Championship under their belt and can push on this season. But for me, feels like a mistake to have two riders that have averaged under 2 in the same team.  Should make the play offs, but not a side I can see winning the league.

That could be a very astute signing for both the club and the rider Dan T is the key man for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really rated Hodder, only really built a reputation on being decent at NSS in much the same vein as Sam McGurk and yet he is the reserve i would be concerned about least. Glasgow is a physical track and i don't see Perry as a physical rider. Pickings might be slim but personally i would have chosen Max James or Tom Spencer if given the head to head choice.

I agree re Max James mixing it more than Perry. I'm less sure about Spencer who at present is a better rider than the other but gets his points based on his gating. Based on the couple of times I saw Perry last year I was not sure how fit he was as he appeared to be struggling on the bike and his style was different to how I remember it being in 2023. He looked less relaxed and more ridged on a bike. Edited December 6 by SJA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video was a good idea but not up to their usual standard Harris Boughen D Thompson Flint Howarth Perry Hodder  That's got to be one of the weakest reserve line-ups I've seen at this level for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted December 5 Author Report Share Posted December 5 Brilliant getting cruz in the video. Happy with that team, what you'd gain at reserve you'd lose in top 5. I'm sure professor Harris will be holding several classes over the season with the particularly the reserves. End of the day if they can score 4 points a meeting between them that should be enough! 2 years ago if never have had howarth but has been very good last few visits so sure will provide the back up to bomber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish McRaker Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 Should have said goodbye to Flint and spent the points on better reserves. Dan Thompson will fulfil what Flint can do, so why have four heat leaders, it's not necessary and suppresses the 4th one. Brainless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon will kick on this year. Good looking lineup. Thought Hodder may have repaid the faith Berwick showed in him last year unless he was told he wouldn’t be returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainless I assume Rowe was pencilled in there but changed his mind and went to Poole. Leon was de facto no.2 for most of last season. Bit less pressure I'd say next year and if maintains his average with the hopeful improvement from elsewhere will have done his job imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 Cracking top 5..... Less said about the reserves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 Looks like a good line up to me. Doubt we will see many better looking (on paper) teams at the start of the season. Glasgow and Poole should be fighting it out at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he'd made the decision before finished up with us. Maybe wasn't enjoying the travelling who knows. Shame reckon he'll be near an 8 by end of season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2ohh Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 At worky in 24 seasom we had two of the weakest reserves and had shed loads of heat 2 reversals . then you had them pairing up with the number 5 rider . heat 12 and 14 were the same . all these pairings will curtail any heat advantages for Glasgow .     luck was on workingtons side when tate got going . P Starke gave us the points we missed out on early season .Glasgow will need points fron 6 and 7 in the playoffs otherwise is curtains looks good on paper , but .

He never said that, believe it was Godfrey just making up a reason for the fans instead of saying he turned Scunthorpe down for 2024  Plus if he flys up rather than in van with mechanic (his mechanics are Manchester based from memory) it’ll be quicker than the van journey up to Scunny from his Wiltshire home Edited December 5 by 4BenMoran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
