Redcar v Lakeside 24th may

Can't see the Bears being able to live with Morris and Lawson so heats 13 and 15 look tough.

The Bears need points contributions from every team member to have a chance of winning this one - looks a tough ask.

 

Morris and Lawson have shown hints of inconsistency lately. Alfie Bowtell is still on a learning   curve, so Lakeside are to all intents and purposes a six man team. They have it in them to win but recent form suggests they could fall short.

Morris will have to be a lot better than he was last night at Rye House, he only got 4 points. Hopefully that was a one off bad night and normal service will be resumed. If Lakeside are serious about being title contenders this is the sort of match we need to take something from.

If this is normal service bring it on

10-2 up after two heats and still lose by nearly 20 points, four heat wins at home - another shocking performance.

How long can Kus get away with his shambolic efforts?...and Barker may be trying but our number one has now one TWO races in our last four home matches, again just not good enough. The Anderson bros, Busch and Stewart are the backbone of a really good team, but the shambles around them is not helping in any way.

This team is not even competitive at the moment, we have a great promotion but they have to act before people stop going - you can't have a home team barely winning races...

The only downside is Ben's injury - here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Considering the Hammers were 10 - 2 down after two heats, a truly remarkable result. Adam seems to like the track and could have had a full max had he not tape touched.

I'm normally one to be positive but struggling tonight. Stewart, MBA and Barker aside I dont think anyone could complain if they lost their job. A meeting of two halves - Bears still very much up to heat eight but a pretty pathetic end to the meeting.

I don't want to take too much credit away from Lakeside - Morris and Lawson were as expected but both Ellis and Zak were excellent. Far too easy for them though.

Plenty of rumours about changes floating round the track - although I'm not sure who is around to come in. Would love a Jorgensen type to come in.

Lastly, best wishes to Ben. Was a very nasty looking fall, and if he has got away with just a wrist injury as has been reported then very lucky indeed.

Didn’t go tonight so can’t comment on tonight’s performances but I can’t see how , based on their performances this year, Busch and JBA are the backbone of a really good team. Both have been inconsistent at best. JBA seems to have gone backwards imo.

Always thought we would struggle away but it’s not acceptable to capitulate so often at home. A team with so many under performing riders on a home track that holds no fear for any opposing rider is a recipe for a very difficult season.

Backbone - as in those four would be the reserves and two second stringers....we are just missing 3 heat-leaders...JBA is being asked to take on a role he shouldn't be...

Not bad for a team of home track specialists. Another win on the road. Hopefully bens injury isn’t a bad one and will be back soon.

Have to admit - I tend to agree. Busch has had 1 good meeting so far, but has been riding lawnmowers ever since. I do like JBA, and don't think he should be in the third heatleader spot but he has not had a great start either. Its a tough spot, as I dont think many could complain with being replaced but I'm not sure who is out there to come in who is in our budget.

To be beat by 16 points after being up by 8 is absolutely woeful changes have to be made kus and jba are not heatleaders and have to be replaced  pipjer has been a poor signing and how many times has busch had bike problems he had them last year keep barker and the 2 reserves, surely the promotion knew that this team  was poor after a great season last year , brian havelock got a lot of stick but this team is heading for the same place bottom

JBA was dire tonight and on this seasons performances has Definately gone backwards. Heard he wanted a move away from Redcar during the winter and maybe it is showing.

If he wanted away why has he returned and brought his brother as well? Redcar insults it's fans with this team and it insults them with the ridiculous statements it's team manager makes before and after meetings.

A great result for the Hammers in the circumstances. Best wishes for a rapid recovery to Ben Morley. He's had a very solid start to the season and it would be a real shame for that to be disrupted due to this injury.

Going 10 - 2 up and then losing like that at home isn't good enough. I'd be very concerned if I were a Bears supporter.
