Lord Lucan 375 Posted August 7, 2013 When we were only 2pts down after 4 races I thought things were looking good, went to work and have just got back and saw the calamity that had unfolded in the meantime? What a total shambles this is, I have read as many posts, both here and on updates, to try and glean some semblance of how this has happened and from what I can gather it just seems that Worky simply weren't at the races and didn't ever look likely to be from Ht 5? Only Kyle with any credit, Ht leaders disinterested, reserves nowhere after Ht 2, what the hell is wrong with this team away from home against top sides? These guy's come to our's and race well yet we go to their's and!!!!!! . Yes it's only one match, and we are still top and we will "probably" qualify for the play off's, but so probably will Somerset, and probably so will Edinburgh and very probably Ipswich and Newcastle, doesn't look good does it, cant ride any of those track's lately yet they can race ours? Something serious needs to happen soon to get our form back away from DP, to be the best you have to beat the best and we are not very likely to be doing that any time soon based on this fiasco.. . Just wondering whether a bit of "average manipulation" is at work here with a view to next season, get the pts down now, blitz the play offs, not do too much damage and be ready to go nxt year on a tidy mark, would like to think so but possibility is that some could just be looking to move on, bit stale now, fresh challenge needed etc, some certainly seem to be riding like it!! It's not looking good for us at the moment but, we have to remain positive and hope that we are just hiding our light under a bushel, fooling the opposition, sucking them in or... are we just fooling ourselves, we'll see, wont be long now!!!

whowasthatberntpersson 108 Posted August 7, 2013 Some truly breathtaking blasts around the boards last night. Very very fast racing. The Comets were made to look ordinary, particularly by the Rebels top four.. Nick was very close to bettering Leigh Adams track record in heat 3, what an achievement that would have been (Alex wasn't far off in heat 5 either), an indication of just how fast the track was riding. The boys had to hang on for dear life...but what on earth was Aarnio doing in heat 11? Not the time or the place to be looking around for your partner, and very very fortunate he and others weren't badly hurt....spectacular crash. Watching the Rebels top 4's reaction to Gary May's heat 15 selection was quite entertaining too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brooksy 120 Posted August 7, 2013 Can't believe these were the same Comets that took us to a last heat decider just a few weeks ago (well 6 of them did)?? And who'd have believed 3 Rebels would score maximums and Doyley wouldn't be one of them?? Not what was expected by anyone I imagine. Nevertheless, a great performance all round by the Rebels again - hitting form just at the right time, as they enter a very busy period of 9 meetings before the end of the month. If they can stay injury-free, they're going to take some stopping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,859 Posted August 7, 2013 Not a good show from the Comets but fair enough Somerset were the much better team. Similar thing happened when Ippo came to Worky earlier in the season and got thrased then came last month and won at DP... Oh well whilst we are still in the Play offs, we are still in with a chance of winning the League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could probably have something to do with the fact that several Rebels fans have posted that the Comets "were" really bad!! You can only beat what's put in front of you and last night that wasn't much by all accounts? It's easy to rack up a big personal score when your opponents show little willing to fight you for it and unfortunately, from your point of view, that means the Rebels probably wont get the kudos you feel they deserve, sad but that's generally how it is? . Mind you, there could be times when you ride really well and "lose", that's even worse!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 340 Posted August 7, 2013 Some peeps who havent been mentioned were the tractor staff Ez Curtis and his helpers top effort and the rebels spent a lot of time saying how awesome the track was praise well deserved. Amazing performance by the mighty rebels and far from worky not being up for it was more a simple case of Rebels far to good on the night.Me thinks we might just be hitting top form and long may it continue.......bring on the devils Well said!
