I’ve no interest in streaming . Why Tennis on all Eurosport channels? Speedway is clearly an after thought by the channel.

Someone clearly didn’t see heat 13 from last week either. Expected comment tho.

Howarth is a good scorer at Monmore. On paper a better replacement. But yea Holder usually scores 6!

Good result for Wolves. Holder is pants at MG so Morris was an improvement. Howarth missing is a strange one as isn’t he scheduled to ride tomorrow? Howarth is always good value at the Green. Wolves definitely benefited from him missing.

Yet some teams can get away with a guest all season long or until the end of the season. Total nonsense. Vatcher, clearly penalising one club and letting others get away with it. Just wrong.

Sadly people were joking about it’s likely to be a tactical call off just before it was announced. Sensible speedway fans can smell the bs from miles away. Its not like anyone is even surprised!

I’m not at all. Whenever I’ve seen him racing abroad (and his last terrible stint in the GP’s) he was doing it loads when in traffic. certainly not a new phenomenon from what I’ve seen from him.

But it’s precisely what you get with KK. Nobody can be surprised!

As I said, it was the flip side of the argument.

Could be harsh if you have a free scoring reserve who might take up to 7 rides to then be penalised to only allowing a guest to only have 4 rides. Just the flip side of that argument.

Chris, not Jack.

And one of the track staff confirmed track was very wet from the weekend rain.

It’s a given, Craig is miles ahead of Ben as things stand. It’s a no brainer replacement if possible. Must admit I wouldn’t really want him anywhere near a team of mine however if he fit at wolves to replace the other Cook it would be a no brainer.

I’m surprised anyone has even suggested that but if there is a Poole rider involved of course there must be a discussion.

Definetly Jakobsen at reserve should have ensured a strong reserve all season. Even he has been a little disappointing.

Injured.

I see it a different way. When you have a team of 3rd heat leaders and second strings you are going to have matches when they all click and you do a great job and a good score (last week against Wolves as an eg) but you will have more matches scoring 30 or less because of no real genuine solid scoring. This team was never going to threaten the top 4 imho.

Nothing suspect. http://www.wolverhampton-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3663

When compared to the Emils, Doyles, Lamberts (which I did) he isn’t in the same league. On the world stage he is a bang average rider. SHOULD be doing better than he is, and you know it.

The problem is Fricke isn’t really a class number one like Doyle, Sayfutdinov, Pedersen, Lambert, Bewley. That showed up in the GPs. Yes he won one however was literally no where else in the others he competed in. Plus this exposes the Lambert for Fricke switch in the play offs. A world class rider replacing a bang average rider because his average allowed.

Awful news.

Routine Aces win I’d imagine.

IF averages allowed Nicholls for Cook is a no brainer. Seems unlikely tho because averages have increased and Scott probably won’t want a full time top flight position. Wolves are in the same position as last season. Strong top 5, weak reserves. Having a strong reserve wins you league titles every time. Wolves will probably lose at home if one of the top 5 has an off night (as evidenced last season) and those will be the costly mistakes that might prevent them making the top 4. Only really 5 teams looking like a challenge for the top 4 this season so winning at home and collecting bonuses are the key.

At least I’m consistent, which is something KK will never be. ;-)

It’s typical KK scoring tho. 2,0,15. You just never know what’s next!
