Shaleshifter 177 Posted September 26, 2021 The Pirates return to action on Wednesday in the K.o.c after securing top spot in the league after last weeks victory against the Redcar Bears. Leicester have a 8 point league from the fist leg up at Beaumont Leys and we will need to hit them hard from the start to unsettle them and bring the tie level. Leicester have a top 4 that are strong home and away and if they all click then it will be a tough night. Since Stefan Nielsens injury, we have struggled at reserve having to use a guest each meeting and this has put pressure on young Danyon Hume to deliver the points. Fingers crossed the weather forecast doesn't change for Wednesday as this look's like the best day of the week Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ray c 2,299 Posted September 26, 2021 with a guest in place of stefan and if basso is out the task will be a lot more difficult Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) If no Ben Basso it will be pretty unrealistic to expect us to progress. Edited September 26, 2021 by Steve Shovlar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time for Schlein to shine, get his focus back on it and kick the Lions ass! Lions av 3 weak links in the Twins and Kennedy as they will soon look green on the Waves of Wimborne, Pirates will deal with them and altho Andersen is back on a familiar track he's riding like a cow's backside at the moment......well behind!! WIN WITH A WORRALL, YOU ONLY WIN WITH A WORRALL, WIN WITH A WORRALLLLLL WE SHALL OVERCOME! #PIRATEPRIDE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many people questioning it as it gives Howarth a ride in heat 8 and Kennedy can take the rest. He has had 3 meetings in 2 days; Edinburgh on Friday and 2 at Leicester last night. But so has brother Joe ..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Average fixing (failed) at Edinburgh and an August “sun-off” that resulted in Glasgow needing a referee’s consent before they could call off a meeting come to mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
