How can our form have dipped off so badly?!?! 3 home defeats on the bounce, are the riders purposely riding like this to ensure their averages are suitable for next season? Sorry, but with the exception of Lakeside then Scunny and Redcar are teams we should be ironing around Owlerton. Stunned. You are obviously hard pressed to come up with anything positive to say. You sound In Creasingly frustrated Nice for the Bears not to be the team getting tonked for a change. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 413 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Hats off to the Bears, they out gated us and when they didn't, they out rode us. Yes, we had a few mechanical gremlins and lost a few points as a consequence, but not enough to have changed the outcome. We just never looked like being able to win from heat 1 onwards. Remind me, why did we get rid of Berge....???? Edited August 9, 2018 by Cue Ball 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graz gp 184 Posted August 9, 2018 That did not surprise me at all. The Bears we well up for it, we never looked like we could win the meeting,out gated out fought. When did the Tigers last lose three meeting at home, I can't remember. Something's not right. Earlier in the season we were OK at home so what's changed. We have two home meetings left, Newcastle and Edinburgh its to be hope we can win those two meeting, but if we ride like we have tonight no chance.utt.

graz gp 184 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) No statement yet from the tigers, Bjerre tweeted it this morning asking if anyone saw Paul Bates sack him in the bar last night. Very strange. Utt Edited August 10, 2018 by graz gp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlieboy 410 Posted August 10, 2018 If true that will leave us well short then tonight? Another hammering on the way then ? Last night was another poor show it feels to as though we've lost harmony in the camp.I wondered how this season would pan out without a proper number one. Kyle is a good rider but not quite a number one in my eyes.When josh was here last season and needed to win big races you could rely on him but Kyle seems a little inconsistent .kyle makes an ideal 2 ND heat leader and was awesome when paired with josh in the big heats Lasse and Charles are quite similar. I find it unbelievable as to how poor we've become in the last few weeks. The inconsistency of every rider all at once is incredible,I think it will have give our promoters plenty to think about for next seasons team.Hope we are not rained off tonight and tomorrow I think the sooner the season is over the better ,apart from winning the pairs it's been a crap stop start season.Perhaps the bspa could regionalise the leagu next season and just have 5 at home and 5 away and save some more money ?????????? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 61 Posted August 10, 2018 Getting rid of Jan was a bad move in my opinion. Sure he won't be hitting the double figures but as seen last season if you give him a place and let him stay there then he can come good as a hard-hitting reserve or even a number 2 which could also move Kurtz into a number 4 role where he should be (imo) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
