ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted April 3, 2017 Cook's pass of Lambert and Worrall in Ht13 was worth the admission money alone. Wow! Great meeting for a neutral and heat 13 was Cookie at his breathtaking very best!!! sublime,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Max 216 Posted April 3, 2017 So, on another thread I said our reserves wouldn't beat anyone of note and some replies suggested there weren't any reserves of note out there - outscored 3-8 yesterday and to fair could/should have been 1-10 this by a rider with same experience in league as Phillips and one with even less! Looking round Peterborough's reserve flying, Redcar's two reserves scoring a hatful for other teams on Saturday, Scunthorpe's get 8 at Glasgow (granted had a mare at home), Glasgow's reserve scores 6 - that's before you consider Branford and Riss at Sheffield/Edinburgh. We had better keep fingers crossed that top 5 keep fit and on form Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamonds54 5 Posted April 3, 2017 A very good meeting last night, but will 8 points be enough? doubtful when you consider our lack of strength at reserve, no trump cards to play this year but one must live in hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dantodan 314 Posted April 4, 2017 Yes I agree, but is not a surprise. Our 2017 team was built to keep the 1-5 from late last year, which meant 2 x 2point reserves. Fingers crossed we will not have to go with rider replacement featuring our reserves until the lads improve with experience. Speaking bluntly Danny Phillips needs to become a better rider quickly otherwise he should be replaced. Connor is going ok and I think he will make the grade but will he be able to get the points from reserve that the team needs in 2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Danny has been to IOW and is riding at Kings Lynn, which I believe are flat out tracks, similar to Berwick. Riding at Brough is different and when it comes to using the throttle, he loses his botttle,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to see another Danny in instead of him, mainly for the entertainment and crowd pumping... But I doubt averages would allow that... Think Connor looked nice and smooth and in a few months time he could solidly score 3 or 4 point a meeting, as long as he's put in the number 7 spot!! Every team should have a 2.00 reserve in anyway, imo .....Darryl Ritchings and Dan Greenwood looked good when I saw them last year.....
