PhilTheAce 498 Posted May 2, 2022 What a day that was. That was the best team Performance I’ve seen in a long time. It’s actually the biggest aces score in the NSS history (not including colts) sometimes it’s easy to say it was because Peterborough were so poor but I honestly think it was just that belle Vue we’re so good. The gating. The passing. The speed. The atmosphere. The team did everything right. I’ve not felt a crowd like that in a long time. Before during and after there was a real buzz. special mention to Brady on his first aces max and what a way to achieve it. Brilliant pass of MPT 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,054 Posted May 2, 2022 Expensive day for Scott Nicholls with two blown engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted May 2, 2022 I think its important not to get carried away with the result of one meeting, Belle Vue look very good on paper of course but Panthers just had a bad day, it happens and I'm sure they will better next time out. Basso won't score many ones, testing an engine for the U21s next weekend perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,226 Posted May 2, 2022 I'm not worried about Scotty Nicholls because he's been putting in some good performances at Home. Scotty's just having a bad run on the road at the moment that'll he put right. Huge concerns over Hans Andersen for me. Hans hasn't been good at all apart from Ipswich Away. I'd actually look at replacing him now before it's too late. Hans' scores this season @ BV 0, 1*, 0, 2 = 3+1 @ KL 1, 0, 0, 2* = 3+1 @ Ippo 3, 2*, 3, 3, R = 11+1 Ippo Home 0, 0, 0 = 0 KL Home 2*, 1, 1, 1* = 5+2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M.D 463 Posted May 2, 2022 Just now, PhilTheAce said: Not sure on that sorry No worries, I was just interested as I know a rider who started the season on Godden and switched back to GM and his results improved overnight. Thanks for the reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a very rare sight that we see an aces team battering anyone so that played a part but I also thought the racing was good. Some good races knocking about and some very fast action Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
