Arthur Nutley at Eastbourne...was passionate about bringing on young riders helping to make "The Eagles" the success story it was back in the early seventies.

Rotten is too harsh a word but we should have closed out both the Poole and Plymouth matches and one of Glasgow ones. If we want to make play offs these are matches we should be winning. Last night hopefully should help confidence wise even if Comets didn't show up. The Polis replacement and a decent no 7 will be key to the season and Paco who is  so unpredictable in each beating. 

Whilst we filled our boots tonight,  the reverse could happen at Worky. Leon Flint who is going through a purple patch, replacing Zischke, imo strenghthens the Comets considerably. Remember the scores when we last met Worky in the  2018 KoC semi:- Edinburgh Monarchs 59 Workington Comets 31 Workington Comets 61  Edinburgh Monarchs 29 No time to be complacent, with North Side being a new track to both Swedes & also a raw number  seven who is  unlikely to beat any Championship reserve, barring non finishers.

Unfortunately we're mainly a team of riders in positions that they shouldn't be in. Tate and Anti aren't heat leaders, the same as Jay and Taylor aren't second strings. So we find ourselves with 2 second strings and 4 reserves. And Troy, who to be fair needs to pick up 15 points per meeting to even keep us competitive. Which he'll never do, unless he makes 5 worldy starts. 

Would've been hard if not impossible to achieve that team building with a 40 point limit. Another strong heat leader would mean weaker reserves needed. With Bowes being on a 5.00, but the Kennedy's & McDiarmid on 4.00 (or 4.27 for Zaine) it was easier for them to be at reserve.

Like I’ve already said Mark is only in for the Workington matches that’s it, Mark also knows this. We only needed someone to fill the whole for the weekend as the factory was up for Max. So your pound is irrelevant.
