Edinburgh Vs Berwick Fri 8th

[Dekker 239]

Don't expect the most pessimistic Edinburgh fan or optimistic Berwick fan saw that coming. It's a shame it'll count for nothing as Glasgow will top the group and the Monarchs will surely strengthen by the time the Bandits return in the league

 

Not surprised at all, until Dan and Jye find their feet the team will be prone to such banana skins, although Berwick really should have buried Edinburgh even with Theo and Wethers flying.

What on earth is up with anders mellgren?

Wet grippy track + he's either rubbish or bust at the dale, was bust tonight.

Wet and grippy at Worky on Sunday and he didn't like that either. Can see a change coming there if he doesn't pull his finger out

Confidence seems shot to pieces - hasnt recovered properly from that shocking crash a few years ago, such a shame

We win at Armadale, and still there are unhappy people?

I couldnt give a toss about the result, was wondering why a former fans favourite at my club has suffered such a poor start to the season

i am told he has changed his pit crew this year,maybe that has not helped.

Does Etheridge remain on a 5 unless he goes above his assessed average? Or will he be at reserve in the not too distant?

Speechless. Seen too many hidings at Armadale and even a few defeats off them at Shielfield. Really did not see this coming, even though Edinburgh are obviously weaker this season. Still thought they would have enough with Masters, Riss and Wolbert at home. Bit concerned about the form of Anders Mellgren, four poor meetings so far, but that won't spoil my mood.

.......Monarchs will surely strengthen by the time the Bandits return in the league

No they won't......their diehard fans have intimated on here that they'll give Bewley and Etheridge loadsa time to find their feet......lol

Probably waiting to be told what to say.

Can't drop below 5. So unless Clegg gets his rolling average over 5 at some point (and can't see that happening any time soon from 3.8) then Etheridge stays in the 1-5 on a 5. And as the rule state you can't drop an assessed rider Edinburgh are stuck with him!

 

 

 

 

16.3.2 Riders with assessed MA’s (other than an assessed 3.00) cannot be removed from a PL team re-declaration.

 

18.6.2.1 No rider with an Assessed MA, other than the Category 4 rider, can drop below 5.00 at any time during the Season.

Bearing in mind Armadale has a micro mentality, sorry climate, does this mean there'll be no meeting now at Armadale on 20th May? Just asking.

Nice to see we please the Edinburgh haters (although im not sure why they hate so much but if it keeps them happy)

 

A very good meeting and credit to all the riders who made a match of it despite the constant (but light) rain throughout the night. And all done and dusted before 9 (why not do that every week).

 

I didnt expect a Berwick win though we would have just enough to scape a win but fair play to them they battled away and deserved it. Really solid scoring from Pijper and Doolan aptly backed up by the rest (Mellgren apart).

 

Monarchs just didn't perform. Masters was sublime and Clegg did make a few great passes and very entertaining to watch. Riss/Wolbert/Fisher all had their moments but need more than just the odd good race. Etheridge and Bewley as expected but was nice to see them putting some laps in after the meeting. They both have potential but I think we will see both struggle for points for a while. To early to say we should drop either but if no improvement im sure replacements will be in (all within the rules of course ).

 

Only going to get worse next week when a fired up Glasgow come calling. Win or Lose I will be there (when wife/job allows) cant have success all the time.
