Well that was pathetic. Wanting to make Sheffield a fortress and the Sheffield riders were up for getting revenge against Scunny. What a joke. Tigers are like a poor away side on their own track. Scunny won at a canter. Fair enough we got near mid match but again a poor start and a poor finish did us. We have riders who look defeated as soon as they start and either no power or worst still no confidence to improve. Simon S. looks like an individual who just goes out to win by as far as he can. Taylor looks like he will never reach the standard that he had before his injury. Leigh would be ok as a second string in a better side. Andre maybe the years have caught up with him Ty, not there tonight, but must be one of the worst 9pt rider signings we have ever had. Simon N tried his best but not much sign of being any better. Josh now an assett , but not looking like an under-21 champion at the moment. Bottom of the League, out of the league cup and probably out of the KO cup, where do we go now. With the world cup now on unfortunately there is nothing to get me excited enough to get down to Owlerton. No entertainment and no enjoyment. £17 will now be better off staying in my pocket and go towards finding other things to do on a Thursday. For me tonight was a sad night, as after being a Tigers fan for 45 years, i think thats it for me.

The BIG news ' Uncle signs nephew ' wow, thats so inspirig for tonight. One thing that is puzzling me,.Scunny recently cancelled a meeting because one of their riders (Klindt) was missing, yet are willing to take on a team with a rider (Proctor) missing. They must be so desperate to get to play offs. I have no doubt they will win big against the Tigers as they have beaten full sides twice at Owlerton already. Dont think we are a strong side ,even when Proctor rides. Steady reminds me of a captain of a sinking ship. Plenty of brave fighting talk but can't get his crew to save the ship from going under. Still, I'm hoping for a miracle and we get a 46-44 win. BTW its a brilliant day for speedway

3 of the 4 home meetings postponed have been the KO Cup tie v Berwick, so that only counts as one match to re-arrange plus the Workington match

Unless a different Proctor turns up I think we may struggle to win at all. After last week there needs to be a massive improvement. Gets a bit boring watching Stead win races by a mile whilst his team mates struggle. Home meetings so far 1 win by 7, 1 win by 2 and 2 defeats so we need our biggest win of the season so far (including 16pt win at Redcar). Good luck boys.

I just wish Simon Stead would look for his team mates. Winning races by a mile is ok when your points in front ,but when we are losing just remember it's a team sport and not an individual. On a couple of occasions tonight he could have tried to help in races where we needed the points.
