SharpenRake 1,512 Posted July 9, 2015 Well it seems like ages since the last home meeting and back to Sunday afternoons - prefer evenings myself. For Tigers David Howe is still out and with Viktor Palovaara on World U21 duty we've got a guest and thanks to the new averages we can get Nike Lunna who impressed when up with Scunthorpe. Workington are along the usual lines though they've replaced Nicki Barret who nearly always does well at Ashfield with Matt Williamson. Matty Wethers is a potential problem as when he gates at Ashfield he's good at holding riders back. Anyway a home win by around 6 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD 1,323 Posted July 9, 2015 This should be a great meeting that will go right to the last heat. Worky have no recognised No1 but have strength throughout their middle order where Glasgow are fragile. Still no solution to David Howe r/r, can't understand why, his shoulder injury won't heal itself, it kept him out of racing since April prior to joining us and a track return would seem unlikely. His 7 something average can't be covered by Palovaara, the mis-firing Berge and a twitchy Sarjeant! Wethers is a potential trump card at reserve, Crusty, Wells and Hansen will get among the points as well. Narrow home win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His 7 something average can't be covered by Palovaara, the mis-firing Berge and a twitchy Sarjeant! Although not a solution, with the new averages everyone bar Nick Morris can get a ride so could score as many as Howe would have done, if fit, at least at home. certainly can't afford any engine problems - remember what happened when Summers borrowed an engine from Alex Edberg!!!!

We also need Morris to come to the party before his third ride! He's not been that great at recent home meetings compared to earlier in the season. I read he was bringing one of his Swindon engines up so hopefully that makes the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george.m 3,063 Posted July 11, 2015 Any news on Nick Morris's "injury" after last night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharpenRake 1,512 Posted July 11, 2015 oh dear, Nick Morris out for a few weeks with arm injury guesting for Somerset . It's bad enough when your riders get injured riding for their country, U21 and EL teams but when its guesting it seems even worse!!! Can see Tigers losing this with Bjerre as a guest. Should be glad that Lawson Sergeant and Summers who all rode last night didn't get injured as well. No chance beating Sheffield on aggregate on Thursday either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Appears we can use guest for now - Adam Roynon guests - so its a Tigers/bears select against the Comets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted July 11, 2015 where,s that come from ? what a promising rider he is... big miss for the tigers if true. .. thought Glasgow were paying decent money to their riders.. sad.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,189 Posted July 11, 2015 Team being decimated at an alarming rate Kozza injured out for season Replaced by it appears a less than fit David Howe who i would be surprised if we see again Nick Injured whilst guesting for Somerset out for a few weeks apparently Dimitri leaves stating loss of confidence I would imagine Stewart's phone will be red hot in sourcing replacements for David & now Dimitri by my reckoning we will have 12.14 to replace both albeit we can use guests for Nick major headache for Jose Whoever he can muster up will need to hit the ground running or the solid start we have made could all go pete tong. where,s that come from ? what a promising rider he is... big miss for the tigers if true. .. thought Glasgow were paying decent money to their riders.. sad.. Now on official site to be fair the past few weeks if Dimitri didn't gate he really didn't look like he had the confidence to pass when he gated he was very quick virtually impossible to replace him though on the average he is on with a rider that could get even close to the ability he has. Remember that he is very young and had a really serious injury last year seems a very shy young man and homesickness must be a factor he will be a big miss and we are looking weaker & weaker with every passing day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
