  1. My point is that it's only 2 losses in a warm up competition and the league hasn't started yet. Peterborough lost their first 2 LC matches at home and have been outstanding since. Wait till Barker is fully fit and banging in the big scores and see how you feel then. There seem to be 2 big differences of opinion in here........ - one wanting the team to win matches and perhaps trophies - the other wanting good racing I seem to remember you lost to Monarchs at home in April last year and then won the next twice against us at home. It can all change very quickly. It could be a lot worse, you could be Plymouth!!
  2. Folk still go to F1 in their big tens of thousands and pay a small fortune to do so. And all they get is follow my leader for sixty odd laps with very little passing apart from against a car that is 10mph slower. . Think folks are being a touch harsh. You have lost to Glasgow and Edinburgh at home in a pre-league competition without having your high scoring number 1 available or fit. Both of those teams are amongst the favourites to be at the top end of the league come the end of the season.
  3. Does seem to be a level of over-reaction. Edit - didn't mean by you Mr. B.!
  4. As mentioned before, no we are not worried about Cookie's EL form. Business as usual...... BERWICK 'K. Dixon Building Supplies' BANDITS...40 EDINBURGH 'Border Roofing' MONARCHS...50 1. Craig Cook © 3,3,3,3,3 = 15
  5. Yay - first away win nearly delivered!! Only 2 x 0-5's to avoid.
  6. No need to be embarrassed Gazc - I really appreciated your kind words!
  7. I don't expect us to take any points tonight. So I must be deluded. I remember this all too well..... Berwick Bandits = 51 1. Claus Vissing - 2', 3, 2, FX = 7+1 2. David Bellego - 3, R, 2', 1' = 6+2 3. Steen Jensen - 0, 0, 2 = 2 4. Matthew Wethers - 3, 2, 1, 2' = 8+1 5. Kevin Doolan - 1, 3, 2, 2, 1' = 91 6. Liam Carr - 2', R, 0 = 2+1 7. Matej Kus - 3, 3, 3, 3, 0, 3, 2 = 17 Edinburgh Monarchs = 39 1. Craig Cook - 1, 1, 1, 3, 3 = 9 2. Justin Sedgmen - 0, 3, 1, 3, 0 = 7 3. Max Fricke - 2, 2, 0, 3 = 7 4. Steve Worrall - 1', 1', 3, 1 = 6+2 5. Sam Masters - 2, 2, 2, 1 = 7 6. Aaron Fox - R, 1', 0, 1, 0 = 2+1 7. Derek Sneddon - 1, 0, 0 = 1 (Courtesy of Monarchs Chatzone) The saving grace is you don't have Kus at reserve!!
  8. Nicola will get you an early appointment - she works miracles.
  9. I think we've all answered though. No-one is worried about Cookie's lack of form in the EL which is all based on 2 away matches in 2 days. If he is still struggling in the EL in 2 months time I still won't be worried as long as his PL form is good. Equally, if he bangs in maximums (maxima really) in his next 2 EL home matches then I won't be going overboard that he will never drop a point in the PL. Pointless discussion really, but I have some spare time on my hands!! You should be worried about Tungate's away form and Hawkins' decision making (or since it's only 5 weeks till he's due at Armadale again is he getting everyone prepared for his absence?)
  10. Thought this was an Edinburgh thread? But if you insist - really looking forward to seeing the Fish again at Peterborough tomorrow. Or does he count as an Edinburgh rider still?
  11. 'Cos we all say so!! Form is temporary, class is permanent. Cookie rode well in the PL last season but his EL form dipped. So the two are not intertwined. He knows his gating is not at its best at the moment hence him practising after last night's match. Bit soon to ring alarm bells after 2 away EL matches is it not? But hey it's Cookie so he's fair game for everyone.
  12. One swallow and all that!! It certainly made a big difference that the 2 Geermans scored well. Hopefully Kaiser Kevin can keep it going and it will be interesting to see how Erik develops. Their form will be the key.
  13. I believe everything I read! But seriously, worky should have been able to score higher than they did tonight considering the team they put out. Especially with Palovaara at reserve. Plenty of Armadale experience.
  14. Much respect Mr Bruv. Not many people read every word in the programme! You'll have noticed the heat 1 sponsor too! My southern team was a choice from Lakeside, Rye House, Ippo, Peterborough or Mildenhall. From a racing preference it was between the last two and I opted for Peterborough. For some strange reason I have never seen a decent meeting at Ippo and very few at Rye.
