Had the rerun resulted in a 5-1 to the Tigers I think I’d have walked out 😄

I was hugely critical of Kye Thomson at the start of the season as I felt we weren’t getting enough from him. He’s been brilliant in the second half of the season - real aggression and speed in his racing. He’d be the first rider I’d have back next season. Great to see and made me eat my words.

It felt in hindsight a waste of Sedgmen on r/r but highlight is 20/20

I was surprised he wasn’t excluded for missing the two mins.

Yes the ref must have been quite relieved. Couple of interesting incidents. Why was ht1 rerun and not awarded? And then when it was rerun did VP try to come out on his first bike and get told that wasn’t allowed?

Saw that coming a fortnight ago. Did Sedgmen jump in the first running?

Neither set of fans confident 😃

Edinburgh need to have hit mid 80s by the end of ht12 or they’re knackered

Yes and Oskar Polis tbh. Not sure what your point is

Lots of pressure on Kye and Justin. We also need the reserves to not be running last places. It’s gonna be a tight one!

Yes and no. Injuries have always been part of speedway and unless we move to a squad system (obviously unsustainable financially) then guests and r/r will always be there. What should be addressed is promotions building teams with riders that routinely aren’t available due to commitments elsewhere.

😄. It was an odd choice of guest wasn't it? I'm sure he'll have his gating gloves on this Friday and come in with double figures. Depending on the guest choice i'd be tempted to hide him at no. 2 tbh!

Yeah it’s a fair point. I kind of had forgotten that it would be at no.2

I think I’d go with r/r before I picked up the phone to Jake Allen tbh.

I suspect I’m wrong else he’d have been suggested by now but doesn’t Nick Morris now have a low enough average to be qualify as a guest?

I think it’s fair to say that both those scores were outliers. Both bookings were a bit of a gamble

Not a good sporting weekend so far Gaz. Mine has been quite agreeable in contrast 😉

Can't say i expected to come away from that disappointed with a 14pt lead. I don't think it's enough but at least makes the return leg a contest which i feared it might not have been. Midway through it felt like 20 points was the minimum we would have as a lead and then after ht14 i'd have snapped your hand off for 14. That Grahn chain could cost us big time - not saying he would definitely have held off the two Tigers but it felt like a big moment.

Grahn snapped chain when in front

Needs to be 20 (which it now can’t be) for it to be really tough for Glasgow

Yeah very odd to have agreed to this date

Downpour 15 mins before tapes up. Nothing you can do about that. One set of riders has got on with it, the other set haven’t turned up yet

ABSOLUTELY RAGING Same for both teams
