johnyson66 40 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Been saying all week that 12 points would be enough , seems to me the second half of the meeting some of our riders seem to fall off the pace , rather be 12 in front going into the away leg than 12 behind going into the home leg , Newcastle will give it a go but with Riss and Wright and probably Adam Ellis I feel we have enough with our big boys to bring the cup to Teesside, UTB Edited October 12, 2019 by johnyson66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coraldon 54 Posted October 12, 2019 Hope I am wrong tomorrow, I have always said its the reserves that win matches, heat leaders normally cancel each other out, and I think the Diamonds 6 and 7 will have too much for our two!,. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamonds7 112 Posted October 12, 2019 Bears will be too strong in my opinion with Ellis in there and us doing r/r that lead will not be in any danger . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see Newcastle pulling 12 points back , Greaves will pull something out of the bag when we need it , can't for the life of me seeing Newcastle winning by more than 6 points at the most Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with what you say about the reserves, but Clegg needs to get back to a bit of form. With Wright, Riss and Ellis, you have potentially 3 riders that could go unbeaten by a Diamond, whereas as I couldn't be as confident about even 1 Diamond doing the same.

Get the 'Mr Sheen' out JD Anything can happen as we all know , but I think you will agree that 12 points is a handy lead and as a Newcastle fan you can't see how they can pull that deficit back , may get 6 to 8 points back but unless we have a disaster then we are firm favourites for the cup 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a bit like when you go somewhere, it seems a long way but its always easier to get back. Edited October 12, 2019 by ruffdiamond 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pablo133 49 Posted October 12, 2019 if newcastle all fire together they will win overall, but Clegg wethers bjerre and even worrall isnt the same rider these days are all down on form atm and with no guest for jorgensen anything can happen imo only ostergaard on form 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there again the bears top 3 + Anderson will do enough I think.. unless clegg can show his early to mid season form & worrall & bjerre produce at least 10 points apiece I can see us maybe pulling it back. But it will have to be by heat 6 to give us a chance lifting the cup but whatever the result let's hope it's a case of all riders put on a good meeting without any injuries,, at least the gems have silverware tho.. I hope the diamonds can do the same but it will be tough 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
