Aces51 2,778 Posted August 21, 2017 Obviously not much interest. Fricke still absent but Tungate is back and Cookie probably jet lagged but should get a good reception. Somerset turned us over last time but think we shall win this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevueace 912 Posted August 21, 2017 I would expect us to lay the bogey this time, latest forecast giving rain between 1700-2000 last 2 hours heavy so will have to see how that pans out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted August 21, 2017 Met office currently has heavy rain between 5 and 7pm followed by light rain clearing by 8pm. Hopefully, the drainage might be able to cope but obviously it depends on the amount that falls. Keeping my fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted August 21, 2017 Should be comfortable for the Aces tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gresham 928 Posted August 21, 2017 Should be comfortable for the Aces tonight. I'm not so sure mate...nearly a full side, plus they have RR for Fricke, Tungate coming back. Depends on how Cook rides I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We really do need to get Richard and Pat going. Cam and Wrighty competitive again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikec 412 Posted August 21, 2017 Tough conditions at the NSS for a third time running, big respect to the lads from both teams for battling on & putting on a show. Wright was really good, Heeps came good in the second half & Grajczonek was always a threat. Â Cook looks back to his quick & aggressive best, well backed by Steve Worrall. Good to see Tungate back, despite being plagued by bike trouble. Three valuable points nearer the playoffs, fingers crossed for some positive news soon on Max Fricke.

Najjer 2,882 Posted August 21, 2017 Closer than I thought Gresh tbh. We really do need to get Richard and Pat going. Cam and Wrighty competitive again. Hougaard has been really poor since returning from injury. Lawson's scores have dropped off badly too it seems. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both not performing to the best of their ability. Shame, as I can see the end of the season turning into a damp squib. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buttons 370 Posted August 22, 2017 Hougaard has been really poor since returning from injury. Lawson's scores have dropped off badly too it seems. Have to say been disapointed with Hougaard, and a few more points from Lawson would have made the difference last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted August 22, 2017 Having gone 10 behind in heat 10 it was puzzling that Somerset didn't use a tactical in heat 11, the last opportunity to do so. They had nothing to lose and it was that as much as anything that lost Somerset the bonus point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted August 22, 2017 Hougaard has been really poor since returning from injury. Lawson's scores have dropped off badly too it seems. 4 double figure scores so far this season (including the away challenge match against Sheffield) for Hougaard. I reckon the management and fans were banking on a better return from him to be honest. Â Personally, I get the feeling that he "just puts enough in". Certainly don't see him busting a gut to pass anyone, like messrs Allen or Wright. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Call me wolfie 677 Posted August 22, 2017 Having gone 10 behind in heat 10 it was puzzling that Somerset didn't use a tactical in heat 11, the last opportunity to do so. They had nothing to lose and it was that as much as anything that lost Somerset the bonus point. Not the first time the Rebels have made a strange tactical decision, They chose to use their tactical at Monmore in a heat against Lindgren and Howarth when the 2 heats either side of it were much better choices. Needless to say the tactical ride failed but they got 2 5-1's either side of it. Baffling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't last opportunity it can be used up to heat 12, but it was certainly strange it wasn't used in that heat although I would guess they would have put it in Grajczonek.

Correct Rob, my mistake, I just assumed they would use it straight away in heat 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
