Hunters 210 Posted June 8, 2017 For a team that were predicted to finish 7th they're doing well You should know by now they are always underestimated. Year after year they were placed bottom of the Elite League by all their detractors but never ever achieved that distinction. Some people never learn! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GWC 495 Posted June 8, 2017 Looks like there will be some pretty one sided meetings at home with the new declared line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted June 9, 2017 Looks like there will be some pretty one sided meetings at home with the new declared line up. You could be right but the great thing is that Knight, Baseby and Wood are out-and-out racers. Bates, Brennan and Powell are know a thing or two about overtaking. As a result, I predict plenty of entertainment even when the Eagles are scoring big. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted June 9, 2017 With Knight in the team, they are IMO the only team that Lakeside have to worry about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a nasty tumble Georgie had in heat 2. You can see why they thought it was serious. Pretty good coverage all round and nicely laid out so you can watch individual heats. Good on them!

Hunters 210 Posted June 17, 2017 Difficult test for Hampshire tonight but if he shows up well I think he will be given the permenent position in time for next weekends two away meetings, when we need at least 4 match points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted June 18, 2017 I genuinely think this team can go all the way 3rd time lucky for the Eagles. First year second. (Won gold cup - guess like a play off) Second year second. Third year??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevec 300 Posted June 19, 2017 I genuinely think this team can go all the way 3rd time lucky for the Eagles. First year second. (Won gold cup - guess like a play off) Second year second. Third year??? Yeh, with Jake back in the team we have a really strong top 5. My only doubts are the second reserve spot as Jake picking up points alone may not be enough. We need Jake and the reserve to pick up more pints than Connor and Kelsey would have. We really need to pick up the points next weekend. If we do, then we will be right in there.

Moleman27 31 Posted June 19, 2017 Jake will consistantly pick up big points though, where as Connor and Kelsey you were not sure how they would do each meeting. Is better to know we have 10+ points coming in rather not knowing going into ameeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will probably have Bates and Powell swop at the next average changes which could compound the problem. Could make Bates do what Andrews did at the end of the 2015 season , regaining confidence and banging in big scores, my only fear is you'll never know whether he'll get 1 or 12! Makes you realise the strides Powell made this year as you now expect him to get 6/10 a meeting. Edited June 19, 2017 by gazzac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
