dantodan 314 Posted August 11, 2016 I am a fan of Jason Garrity despite him getting the Boos at Brough. Our top guys should expect a tough time when Jason is in their heats. I cannot see any PL team beating us at home. I forecast the diamonds to score more than 50. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erniew 163 Posted August 12, 2016 I think Garrity is an accident looking for somewhere to happen, he spends too much time out of control by hanging off the bike, might look spectacular but it's dangerous. I don't wish any rider ill, but if, and when Garrity has a big off, I hope he doesn't take anyone else with him.. I would never boo him by the way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted August 12, 2016 Would expect it to be pretty close, with Bates and Garrity back. Howarth is capable of doing ok, jury's out on Stead,,, and the other 3, well,,, can't see them doing much, apart from having the beating of Phillips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dantodan 314 Posted August 13, 2016 Ah Well Jason is out! It makes the Newcastle task a little easier as he in "fine fettle" takes some beating. Er just thought Fine Fettle is maybe a Geordie expression that Sheffield fans don't understand. So lets hear from you Tigers on fine fettle, what does it mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew 125 Posted August 13, 2016 Fine Fettle= healthy ,not really a Sheffield saying as such lol No Jase,so Tigers to get around 33 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) rubbish, was looking forward to watching Garrity I don't understand why he's so unpopular, think it will be a pretty straight forward win now though Edit: lol it changed sh*t to rubbish Edited August 13, 2016 by Dandelion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingIvan 3 Posted August 14, 2016 Can only see us getting Hammered again. Newcastle to score more than 55 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJC71 388 Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Much better effort from Sheffield. Bates rode very well and Howarth had a decent meeting as well. Had Garrity been riding it would have been a good contest although still a home win mainly due to Stead who despite plenty of effort had another poor meeting here getting done for four 5-1's which would have been five had Kus not come off. Another strong performance from the Diamonds with Worrall a class apart. Danny struggled again though and doesn't really look like scoring. Can't be much fun for him and I'm surprised we haven't tried someone else. I see King's Lynn now have a match on Thursday. I assume that means we will once again be going to Redcar with three riders? If so then Lawson or Ostergaard, Robson and Garcia? Or do we take a put on Richie given he's in top form at the moment and forget the poor score the last time?

No. The King's Lynn match is a re-arranged match, so we get first call on Robert and Lewis. We will be without Ludvig and Victor though. Their Swedish team are in the play-offs. Simon Stead has apologised on his Twitter account tonight: "Felt I made progress over the last 2 meets but tonight was my worst in a long long time. Apologies to the club, our fans & my team mates." From what I saw of the meeting it seemed an OK meeting (I had a video camera in my hand/on my shoulder for the first time in about three years!!) and Josh Bates seemed to get used to the place and Howarth scored well at a track he normally struggles at. I feel sorry for Danny Phillips. They are trying everything to sort it out, but nothing seems to be working for the kid.

ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted August 14, 2016 Very much like I expected, shame Garrity wasn't riding,,, some good riding from Bates and Howarth kept it entertaining, after a poor start Howarth done well,,, if he were ever to ride Newcastle regularly, I think he would he would crack it Newcastle top 6 solid again, apart from Matty's poor first ride and fall, we need a few points on the road to cement our playoff place, then over 2 legs, we will be in with a shout,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gobsmacked to be honest but there must be a reason we don't know about - it may come back to haunt us later on though. The lad has had a good run but at this moment of time is not Premier league quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chewbacca 653 Posted August 15, 2016 Sad to see Stead struggling so badly at Brough. I can remember him scoring maximums here in the past. Would have a been much closer if Garrity had been around but Bates did ride especially well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I see it you should persevere with Phillips - quite simply, there are very few others who might fit the bill. .
