Ommer Mon 381 Posted September 23, 2015 The Brummies must fancy their chances. With Ellis out injured and Greavesie still missing it does weaken the top end which is the last thing you need against Brum. They look to have beefed up their reserve positions too. Glad to see Tyler hasn't broken it. It looked bad at Brandon. We need a couple of good performances from Max and Matt and they have both improved a lot this year. Looking forward to it, sunny and dry around here at the moment but it will be on the cool side tonight I think. Ommer em Cradley! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex2000 266 Posted September 23, 2015 I think you shouldn't be able to change your team for the gold cup especially if it's replacing someone who can ride anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted September 23, 2015 On the subject of injuries it begs the question what the nature of the season ending injuries to the two Brummies riders are. Needless to say the fans have been treated as mushrooms again on this matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattJ81 51 Posted September 24, 2015 The cynic in me says the nature of the injuries is just about sufficient to ensure the Brummies can book the best available guests (Jack PB is a fantastic prospect) even though Wilson completed all of his rides in the recent under 19 championship. Brummies reserves scored 11 last night and both looked impressive - I would say they probably scored perhaps 6 or 7 more than Wilson and Banks would have in the meeting. Having said that Brummies were the better side as they have been all season and especially after losing Clegg in his second ride there was only ever one result on the cards. Brummies were quicker generally out of the gate especially early on so no real complaints over the result. Neale had I think his only real off night of the season, which says a lot of the progress he has made. We'll just have to win the cup instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ommer Mon 381 Posted September 25, 2015 The main thing is that Cleggy doesn't appear to have broken anything. That's incredible after his crash. I'm still trying to work out what happened. Did his chain go or did his footrest get caught in the fence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did his chain go or did his footrest get caught in the fence? It's strange, he seemed to just catch the fence which I guess would indicate as you say that his footrest caught it - we stand on the entry to the first bend and look straight down the straight at that bend and the amount of times that you could swear a rider is about to clip that fence is amazing (unfortunately a few times this season they have - Mikey, Nathan and now Max have all come a cropper there). I was amazed that Max jumped up so quickly after the crash, adrenaline I suppose. As you say it could have been a lot worse, hopefully just bumps and bruises and a few days rest should sort it. Thankfully his bike missed everyone else as it bounced across the track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
