teaboy279 1,038 Posted December 22, 2019 It's a stronger team then they may have had just a couple of weeks ago. If riders dont perform they ll be replaced anyway. With 6 sides making the play offs any side going unbeaten at home will qualify regardless of away results unless they are very unlucky. Never like to see teams written off before a wheel is turned, it's not the strongest team on paper, but nothing is ever won on paper in speedway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justgotmecpc 1,059 Posted December 22, 2019 Can't understand why keyboarders say things on here rather than to people's boat races as I'm sure most know who THJ is as he seems to be taking a lot of flack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On big fast continental tracks though, they will find the tighter tracks over here a bit more tricky certainly to begin with. Personally I rate Smetana and IMO he could become a very good scorer for Newcastle over the next few seasons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2 11,150 Posted December 22, 2019 Out of interest, who was the last assessed rider to make a 7 point average in his first season? That’s what one of them needs to do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neila 1,162 Posted December 22, 2019 Don't know if this has been said but Smetana rode in gp qualifier at Glasgow and scored 6 points and looked like would hold his own in most races. Good luck to the diamonds you still have a team to support, unlike me over on the west coast 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he will probably score well at Berwick after the bends are taking in so there will more chance to attack entering the corners now rather than having to go high up on the line to cut back on the inside for a pass... Should be better racing now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
