TheScotsman 2,483 Posted October 11, 2023 Tough gig being a neutral on this one. Is it .............. "Come on Weegies - get the title back to Scotland." or "Come on Pirates - keep the Weegies' trophy cabinet empty." This fence is full of splinters! Reckon Complin could surprise a few tonight - could get half a dozen points. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Complin definitely riding well so could surprise , not sure Ace will trouble the scorers and hope Cami Brown makes a howler which is is capable of doing!

Steve Worrall’s comments, FYI. Nothing that any fan hasn't already said! Hardly controversial. 52 minutes ago, GiveusaB said: Surely Glasgow can pull this off! If Scunthorpe can get a draw, then I can't see why Glasgow can't hold on..... Basso/Harris/ will do the damage! Scunny riders are good at Poole though, plus they gated all night long, Glasgow have to do that. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruckerroo 792 Posted October 11, 2023 I like pooles chances, track will be slick as hell coz of the fc and i think pooles reserves will stuff complin at home . I know glasgow are a better side than before but theyve been shocking so far at poole and its gotta concern them. Tigers cant have 2 or 3 riders below par like previous visits .

Skidder1 7,637 Posted October 11, 2023 While Poole are used to big home scores, I can see this being very close and going to a super heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me everything depends on Tarasenko.Nowak got zero the their last visit.Think his replacement will do better!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not saying it’s controversial, but a fan making that statement is entirely different from an opponent doing so. If I’m Tarasenko, I’m wondering why a Poole rider is speaking about me to the media, especially Worrall’s suggestion that his unfamiliarity with Wimborne Road might be a weakness for Glasgow. It doesn’t have to be controversial to motivate someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much like Poole did on Monday our last visit to WR I think we were level or just up over the last 7/8 heats. It's hard to say how much or that was Poole having it won and protecting averages or genuine improvement. As you say they talks all been good seem fired up but we just do not go the track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 11, 2023 What a meeting this is shaping-up to be. I just hope the track affords the fans and cameras some good, quality racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure every morning Tarasenko wakes up and the first thing he thinks is "what is the Bournnemouth Echo saying today" 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted October 11, 2023 It's really very simple and a good Team Manager would stress it. Every 3 - 3 is a step to victory. If you can't win a race don't finish last If you get a lead just ride to win the race no messing about. If you're tailed off keep going you never know what will haoown If one of the opposition is miles in front don't chase him, hold back and ride tactically to get your team mate in to a 3 3 position Use any gate advantage to your advantage e. g Ace may not get a point but if he can be a mobile chicane for a few laps he can help the team. Cliche I know but one race at a time 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
