So...... Exceptional Panthers performance and Stars complacent? Average fiddling? A stage managed 'happiness is 46-44'? Answers on a postcard.....

Wheres Mulford?

For me if you're going to allow RS's to move up into the top five then you have to allow R/R to cover for them if necessary, but I can see the other side of it too.

Far too simiplistic to say that, there is an element of 'poor team building' but Kildemand and Thomas getting injured were blows as was the Iversen situation. I actually think the team looked very good early in the season but too many meetings were lost in the last couple of heats. The team is much better than last year but it hasn't quite clicked at times. Maybe those two guesting yesterday hasn't had a bearing but it looks horrendous and further erodes what credibility is left.

Horrendous luck for Glasgow.

Aga do do do......

If it was a 'lack of shale' then there must have been umpteen other similar surfaces this season so why did the tyres not disintegrate on those? I know you are desperate to beat your club with every available stick but the logical explanation is that the batch of tyres were particularly crap.

Sounds like a dodgy batch of tyres to me.

Or not.

Pickering helping Wolves tonight too now! Very difficult to actually give a monkeys nowadays unfortunately.

Not really Klindt or Sheffield's fault but more the regulations. Daft really.

Think they've woken up

Wakey wakey Aces!

With a round to come at his home track in Torun. He looked a completely different rider last night to Cardiff and but for a couple of pieces of misfortune could have had better gate choices in the semi and final. Needs three more rounds like that. SWC is at Wroclaw in 2023 I believe, no reason why we can't win it with those three spearheading. Exciting times for GB.

Well done Dan and Robert! Up the Brits

Trouble is if you let the dirt go wide too early in the meeting you end up with one line right round the boards later on in the meeting which isn't good for the racing. Grading is a nuisance but sometimes it's required to keep the track good for 15 heats.

New fans! They might become regulars

Oh Scunthorpe.....

Say no more

Where? The Play Offs are long gone, it's about riding into some form for the cup final IMO.

50mm here in West Raynham since 5am ish.

League Cup?

Add to that Brennan has scored major points in World U21 events this year and is riding regularly in Poland albeit the third tier. His career is only going one way at the moment, exciting to see how far that will be.

Should be remembered that Brennan missed a season through a broken leg, add that to the year that everyone missed through Covid and he's not doing too badly for his age. He has improved greatly over the last 12-18 months and I think he can be much better than he is now, whether that is to the level that Lambert and Bewley find themselves remains to be seen but he certainly has something about him. Also worth chucking in the Jason Doyle example of a late developer too.

It got stuck on the way
