Yeah, Dickson left. RW was clearly the favourite.

7.57 is a bit of a shocker but with us having 11 league matches to complete, with 6 of those on the road ( though 1 at Arma) he should get it down that bit further for you.

The vast majority of Glasgow fans are patient and have got behind all season. At what point do you cut it off.

Aye, season long.

Think so

Just reading Palovaara has signed for the 0131 in place of Garcia. Makes them a whole different prospect. Anyone in at Ashfield Towers. Thats every man and his dog strengthened up bar Scunthorpe, Ipswich and us, and Ippo are actively seeking 2 riders.

The last one is a Sunday 3pm fixture against Edinburgh. Not good.

Thats a decent return for Harris, and why he needs replaced.

He clearly had more of an influence than the owners gave him credit for. Though you can see from the owners point of view that in the three seasons SD picked the team we actually moved further away from winning the league, so its a fair shout for the owners to pick their own team this season. Its their money after all which helps us outperform our crowd size, though they have got the structure and some of the riders oh so wrong. Add to this the track changes and the move to bring in an Assistant Manager were all designed to dilute SD's remit and influence. I dont see them going back or even contemplating it.

Said that when SD left, now ringing true. Money wont conquer all as we know.

At least there seems a bit of fight about them tonight. Same old result though. Wonder if some know that was their last ride tonight, they as well as us can see we need freshened.

A damning half term report card though this could have been written a month ago. The Lakeside meeting at home is crucial and I'm not confident. Richard Lawson will be back to prove a point and Nick Morris will love the widened track, so that's our top two negated on current form. Keep going the way we are and our season will be over at the end of August. By a cruel twist of fate our last league meetings are back to back against the 0131, and how they would love to be the ones to finish off our playoff chances, if we haven't done that ourselves by then.

Im sure he retired before the new style silencers came in. Be interesting to see how he goes.

Thats a fair point, we could be forgiven for thinking he's doing a phased retirement and going to pack in at then end of this season. He's been pretty poor so far, let down by a somewhat endless run of mechanical issues and a lack of sharpness. I don't think he likes the Glasgow track and seems we have become the least important of his priorities. However we need moves at other clubs to be able to replace him.

Willie Lawson for Ruml at reserve! I'm sure he was at Ashfield last week, filled out a bit if it was!!!

I wonder if Glasgow are paying too well or even have guarantees for some. We seem unmotivated at the top end with very little fight or desire to improve.

Our home crowds havent been good since Edinburgh thrashed us at Ashfield. We are shaky at home never mind on the road.

This is just one in a long line of many. I don't buy into the don't panic mantra of the owners, this team will come good when the evidence is overwhelmingly otherwise.

Bit of a pumping down at Sheffield. Nine points from the top two doesn't help especially when our 5 point reserve on a false 3 point average decides he's going to bang in a couple of race wins. Well done to Sarjeant from his biggest critic. Can see Harris in the middle order at the next set of averages. This team needs changes, matches like this expose us even more than normal.

Nearly choking here!!

Dont like his performances, nothing personal.

Will we see Jack Smith, just released from Sheffield replace Sarjeant?

He's also pretty head strong and may be chosing not to invest in his equipment or being selective in his efforts whilst the pay issues go on. Worky would find it difficult to recruit a replacement if they dropped him, they couldnt even find a willing guest on Friday, so have to stick with him.

Yeah, for the second season! There is nothing out there to replace Sarjeant on 3.37 so we are stuck unless there are a raft of team changes at other clubs.

All in perspective. Campton never beat any of the Glasgow 1-5 but did a 2 pointer learning his trade and a 3 pointer on the way down. Had your TM been on the ball he would have given Campton a Bickley ride as his seventh which would have edged Worky closer to a league point.
