drew2 252 Posted October 9, 2016 As Somerset are using Connor Coles this afternoon at Glagow will there be a fight between them and Ipswich for his services this Thursday nah Ippo can have him back if they want!

spanner47 336 Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Well, I suppose if the Rebels can win at Glasgow with Rohan having a stinker, what's the chance of us fighting back? We'll need very bit or luck going. 1, Nico has to start the meeting as he usually ends it. 2, they get a crap guest at reserve and we get a good one. 3, Rohan has another stinker like today 4, Ben rides a lot better than he did at Rye last night Etc etc etc Clutching at straws? Let's face it, we need a bloody miracle! P.S. Can Bob not do his usual track grade during the interval if it's close, almost impossible to pass after his done his bit, it gets far too smooth.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 9, 2016 It's gonna be hard 47 but ya just never know. It was always gonna be hard for us, as we often struggle at Somerset. Something our team will have to overcome if we are ever to win anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 10, 2016 You are probably right mick and not prepare the track the only way tungate likes it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted October 10, 2016 At Glasgow Bates was a superb guest though.... will they have the same luck at Foxhall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Well they will have better than us probably cos they have more points to play with. And from what I saw of bacon on Saturday he will be better to. If they have bacon again. Edited October 10, 2016 by baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Blue 616 Posted October 10, 2016 Well they won't be using Bates but what other ringer will they be able to use with Wilson Deans average being what it is? I really can't see us using Coles again, if we did it would probably be suicidal and even if Hume was to declare himself fit he'd be seriously out of practice. Our choice of no7 will be crucial in us having a chance of overturning the deficit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,483 Posted October 10, 2016 I would have thought Rob Branford would have been a good shout for the Rebs in for BWD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted October 10, 2016 Anything our no7 scores needs to be considered a bonus. So the other 6 have to score 54 to be sure of securing a final place. Would need something like Danny 14 Nico 11 Ben 9 Morten 7 Sarj 6 Jo 7 Not gonna be easy but come on we can do this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,483 Posted October 10, 2016 Nah - go for 53 points so that we get the golden heats in - better value for money!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 10, 2016 Surely the scores will look like this bruv Danny 15 Sarj 9+3 Nico 12 Morten 9+3 Ben 13+2 Joe 9+3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spanner47 336 Posted October 10, 2016 You are probably right mick and not prepare the track the only way tungate likes it Is it worth preparing the track just to screw up one rider? Reading what the Glasgow fans have said, it didn't work for them yesterday. If we go with Connor at 7, I cant see him handling a rough track, he kept falling off when it was fairly smooth. Having said that, Danny, Ben and Nico should like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 10, 2016 Not just one rider. Don't think starke or wright would like it much either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spanner47 336 Posted October 10, 2016 Fair comment Balders. But most track curators never get it quite right once the weather turns. Getting the right amount of water in appears to be the problem, it doesn't dry so quick when it's cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
