ruckerroo 792 Posted September 4, 2019 A battle of 2 teams with injury issues it seems. I presume wright is out concussion and is there a doubt over toft ? EAstbourne have slight doubt over kennett and god knows who will be at reserve, if humes not allowed i hope its dan gilkes ( hoped it was him last week tho ) Lets hope the weather plays fair and we get 2 good meetings , whoever goes thru must be favs to win the cup really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waco 1,026 Posted September 4, 2019 Dan Gilks looked a class act round Kent on Monday. I would rate him only just behind Hume and Morley ,,with I expect plenty of improvement to come.an excellent prospect who looks ready for the Championship... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,099 Posted September 4, 2019 Teams for Friday (assuming Toft is fit) taken from Bears press release Redcar: Jake Allen, Kasper Andersen, Michael Palm Toft, Jordan Stewart, Erik Riss, Tom Woolley, Nathan Greaves Eastbourne: Edward Kennett, r/r for Georgie Wood, Kyle Newman, Lewis Kerr, Richard Lawson, Danny Phillips, Jason Edwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gringo 142 Posted September 4, 2019 MPT is due to guest for P/boro on Thursday ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erimus11 91 Posted September 4, 2019 Good choice of guest for Charles Wright - Jake Allen scored 13+1 from 5 rides when he rode for Scunny at Redcar earlier in the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheekycobra 159 Posted September 4, 2019 If Toft is out (I hope he isn't) and the Bears go for R/R, would it make a difference to use Allen as a guest for Toft instead of Wright? Or would it make no difference. Allen could cover for either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waco 1,026 Posted September 4, 2019 Danny Phillips really ,,Eastbourne are Weak at reserve now surely they could have done better.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gilkes was also class around Leicester last Saturday. First time I have seen him, very fast and never out of control on a track which catches many inexperienced riders out. Definitely one to watch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,099 Posted September 5, 2019 Adam Ellis guesting for the Bears at Eastbourne. Eagles using the same team in both legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruckerroo 792 Posted September 5, 2019 I cant believe eastbournes savvy management haven't at least used gilkes for the home leg, they've got a mountain to climb really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortythirtyeight 838 Posted September 5, 2019 Redcar look considerably weaker without Wright and possibly MPT so this match is in the balance. Eastbourne doing themselves no favours by having Phillips guest at Redcar, obviously a financial decision which shows the state of the sport. I think Redcar will need at least a fifteen point advantage from the home leg and I don't see that happening without those two but I do hope it's an all north east final. Then I'll get to see it.

Hackett 220 Posted September 5, 2019 Ellis is a great shout for the Bears - former Eagle knows his way around Arlington. The hole Wood leaves at no.2 is huge - r/r the reserve pairing is not strong enough to cover his rides - his rides were worth 4+1 and most of those were gifted. Eagles will need to keep it within 8 points for any chance ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
