YeOldPitGate Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 With how Thomsen has stepped it up this year Edinburgh are just a Rushden or Scott away at reserve from having a really good side even allowing for Sedgeman being the Aussie version of Klindt. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thanks to Leon and Sam for their efforts last night in knocking their own team out the cup. 😂 Workington have 5 points so even if they had scored 0 points each, Glasgow would be out with 4 points.

berry Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Well done to the Monarchs, by far the superior team in both legs! Dan T showing Glasgow management why he should have been the 8+ pointer retained. Hausl is terrible. I do wonder if he was picked based on that one good meeting/u21 SON. He wouldn't have been in the points let alone win in H10 if it hadn't have been for Bomber nursing him through - slowing and fending off Castagna. Hagon's inconsistently is beyond frustrating. This is the same lad that scored 10+1 against the same team last night! Honestly, I've never understood Hodder's retention. If it was from last year's reserves, Perry would have had my vote. Perry never gave up, sometimes to his detriment with more tumbles, but certainly more fire than Hodder. Bomber doesn't seem to have got going yet. Howarth seems to resort to driving dirty & Pederson only seems to look good coz the others are so shocking! Will we see changes in the coming week? Or will heads be in the same - leave it too late - and make changes when the leagues already far too gone?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 A great advert for speedway and a superb result for the Monarchs made even more incredible by the fact that this is their third meeting in three days and inbetween times Dan has flown out to Poland and back and Paco was probably still feeling the effects of that foot injury sustained a couple of weeks ago. The Tigers looked like they were the visitors to Ashfield today and I don't know where they go from here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted May 3 Author Report Share Posted May 3 None of our team were up to scratch today, totally deserved to finish bottom of the group. Hodder is tentative, Sam isn't gating, Mario doesn't seem to have a good setup most of the meeting. I don't know which of those problems you fix first. Big loss at home even though the ref was quite happy for Leon to take out an away rider in heat 5. Without that, Edinburgh would've hit 50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a five point rider who has yet to attain more than five points in a single meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracksideView Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 58 minutes ago, TheWellBehavedWorrall said: I’d love to know what conversations take place between management, riders and mechanics after yet more mechanical issues costing points. Absolutely no excuse; you’re beaten in the pits before the track if you’re unprepared, but it’s a massive issue. Juhl Pedersen has now had issues in every home meeting, Harris has issues in the last two, Flint this afternoon, etc. It needs addressed. It’s become a nightmare. We’re talking about a basic, non-complex motorbike. Where was KJP bike failure today ? His 1st heat ,heat 3 Sedgeman clipped KJP's handle bar with his elbow hence the awkward line into the 1st bend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I guess the result doesn't really matter to the home fans as long as they were entertained. Well done Edinburgh, joining Redcar, Poole and Berwick in the semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerIain Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 It wasn't as entertaining as usual today. Track was too dry and too dusty, but there was no sign of a water tanker coming out. Given that the Tigers couldn't gate properly at all today, not giving them a decent track to race on means Tigers have only themselves to blame. Poor performance all round from the team today. On that performance Tigers deserved to get put out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
