Edinburgh will win this tomorrow they are at this moment a far superior team to us and I expect them to reach the play off's , and heaven forbid they may actually win it with there big home advantage. We are what we are a mid-table side with aspirations to be more , big thing for me this season is the lack of leadership there is none , this has to be addressed with a team manager in place during the winter that is given free reign to pick the team and not the promoted fan we have presently. As for Bomber I think if we offered him a way out right now he would bite your hand off for it he is doing himself & Glasgow no favours , and as for Vissing it is just the same old from him, all in all the season has just been another nothing season really.

Think the writing was on the cards from our first home meeting when Richie went through the tapes in ht 1 and Sarj was sent out to replace him BEFORE the team manager had made a decision on whether he was going off 15m or not. Need either Stewart Dickson (and I was never his greatest fan after way Ian Steel was treated) or Michael Max (one of the most knowledgeable guys in speedway) as team manager as current one is tactically naive to say least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was clear from day one that another top heavy team with a very weak end would do little as it did the previous season. It turned out that the top end would be just as weak as the bottom. Harris has been utterly woeful and insulted the fans with his incessant mechanical issues and poor performances. By being allowed to continue he has by default made a mockery of the owners. It was widely speculated we tried to replace him during May and June but signing him in the first place was the problem. Worrall as it turned out wasnt strong enough to carry it at 1 or 5 all season, as Edinburgh will find out next year when they dispense with Wells and his 9+ average. Vissing is what he is, just like Sarjeant, we cant act all surprised when they perform like they do. I've been super critical of the team structure all season, in particular the reserve make up but look at the teams which have turned us over, they often have a decent reserve who outperforms at home, Lambert at PB, Andersson at Edinburgh, Pijper/NBJ at Berwick, Jensen/Campton at Worky etc. Why do we overlook this when building a team. We could have had Pijper on 4.23 at the start of the season instead of Sarjeant. Anyway yesterdays result has confirmed what we knew for most of the season. Now if we could just roll over home and away to Ipswich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,072 Posted August 25, 2018 I feared the worst about Harris for last night after his pitiful performance at Somerset's televised meeting on Monday . Even George Stancl could get his engines going more often than Bomber . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gr8scot 589 Posted August 25, 2018 A good night to be a Monarchs fan but I expected a more spirited, hard fought match from the Tiggers. Good job the wee bulldog turned up and got a bit of help from Starkey. Hope tomorrow’s forecast changes or an early call-off would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from being a Panthers asset who i'm sure they will be in no hurry to part with, but I'm sure Panthers would be interested in taking young Drew Kemp off witches in a swap deal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinderfella 865 Posted August 25, 2018 Just having a thought about last nights meeting Edinburgh, who of course own Cookie, must have been laughing when they agreed to let him race for Glasgow knowing he wouldn't be available for the derby league clash at Armadale and although being the highest averaged rider in the league the choice of guests would have been limited.

Young Master Kemp seems to be the latest hot prospect. I just hope that he is given time to mature at a sensible pace and not too much pressure is put on him. Look forward to seeing him in action against Glasgow. Edited August 25, 2018 by cinderfella 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly one for the future , like yourself I hope he gets the correct guidance and remembers how to react to the needs of fans, club and most importantly not try and rush things as having the gift and being able to apply it correctly are two different things. Looks a fine prospect to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
