Absolutely, and tonight makes it all the more frustrating seeing him be a third heat leader at home. Leon would have got 5 or 6 tonight likely setting us up for a last heat decider to win the meeting rather than the aggregate point. On the positive side Sam Hagon is doing a decent job at reserve and Pearson looks like he'll hold his average at home. If they could help Starkey find some speed we might be more solid overall.

It did seem harsh…..but I’ve got to say that he didn’t exactly make an effort to get to the tapes quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would have struggled to win that tonight without him , signing Flint was always a project as he has never been impressive at Glasgow , but I am sure he will improve at his new home track under the supervision of his mentor.

How Bastion only got 5 rides must be questioned unless he wasn’t fit enough. Etheridge is always going to be a weak link away from home. Heres hoping his home form improves.!!! Track changes look good. Wasn't at home match so can't comment on how good the riders looked, but Etheridge only lost to Glasgow's top 3, while Borke didn't beat any of Glasgow's top 3. Also Borke dropped points to Pearson & Starke, Etheridge didn't. So could any more be expected of Etheridge & did Borke only score well because he met weaker opposition?

I think Etheridge did everything you can expect from a sub 6.00 rider away from home. 4) Finished behind Worrall but ahead of Pijper 6) Finished behind Harris but ahead of Pearson 9) Finished behind Vissing but ahead of Starke 13) Finished behind Harris and Worrall Not just on about this evening. He’s proven over the years hes spent with Berwick how inadequate he is and frankly I find it baffling why he was given another go this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,113 Posted April 19 Was surprised that we never asked about Borke as it was clear he couldn’t get to grips with Armadale. From memory he was very impressive at Glasgow last season and again tonight. Berwick have won a watch getting him this season, Kemp very impressive also it was the heat leaders that let them down tonight. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
