Gazc 7,089 Posted June 4, 2021 Just now, Mr Blobby said: We were truly awful tonight. Thankfully it was only Newcastle. Josh, Nathan and William not at it all. Don’t think it’s possible to ride worse than we did tonight this season. Bit disrespectful to Newcastle just maybe they had something to do with you being awful it might be they made you look like that. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newcastle were extremely average at best. Apart from Wright who was good value for money. however can only beat what’s in front of you as they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 681 Posted June 4, 2021 Maybe early days but I question why the promotion let James Sarjeant go and retained Willie Lawson. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al Stewart 398 Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) I do think Mr Blobby is being unfair to Newcastle (unusually because he is usually the wisest man on the BSF) because Mountain, Roynon, Clegg and Wethers as well as Wright were all good - too good for all except Masters and Worrall. It's true that we were bad though. Edited June 4, 2021 by Al Stewart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t think it’s possible to ride worse than we did tonight this season. I think that's harsh on 2 of the 3 names you quoted there. Without wanting to disrespect some of their riders too much, Newcastle are a team that has no top end, but does have a solid middle to bottom end. Against a team like that, I would expect the Edinburgh top end to completely dominate at home, but would expect the mid to lower end to have a harder time. The scoring was close to what everyone expected apart from one rider in the Monarchs team... After that, you can probably guess which 1 of the 3 names I think really didn't deliver tonight...If 4 points had been 12 points, the scoreline would have been far more like what everyone expected. Edit - I used "everyone" a couple of times when I probably meant "I"...Apparently I think my views are the views of the general population...and that's probably far from true Edited June 5, 2021 by HenryW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wee Eck 703 Posted June 5, 2021 Not sure what went wrong for Edinburgh tonight but just as well Kyle Howarth was a poor guest for Newcastle. At 36-36 after heat 12, Edinburgh were unlikely to lose as they should power to 5-1s at home in 13 and 15, which proved the case. The score that really shows what happened is the last places: Edinburgh won that 10-5. James Wright might have been top scorer for Newcastle, but he didn’t really beat anyone that he shouldn’t have. It was the strong overall scoring by Newcastle that kept this close with a special mention due to Adam Roynon on what I’d guess was his first meeting at Armadale for a very long time. Edinburgh management will have expressed their disappointment at the performance of some of the team so the return leg is likely to be a different story. I’d expect an aggregate Edinburgh win unless Newcastle can field a competitive number one. Even then, it’s likely to be close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
