SUPERACE 440 Posted July 15, 2008 Rosco? Then who? Cant keep swapping every time we lose. Its not the manager its the riders simple as. We are a worse team than last year thats why the performance was poor. Nicholls going backwards having poor individual season Bomber gone backwards from last year. Richardson is not a world class rider and wont improve. Steady struggling to make the break throught no better than last year Allen not good enought yet at this level. Kennett see above Tai Way too young to make impression. So seeing as the top 4 and kennett were last years team you can see why we performerd worse than last year. Not Lynchs fault.

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 15, 2008 Who would Rosco blame when things go wrong, in 2006 it was the Swedes Peter Ljung, Jonas Davidsson and Seb Alden who were to blame, in 2007 it was the turn of the Poles who were to blame and now in 2008 it's Aussie Travis. One thing you will never hear from Rosco is "I think it's my Fault". The man is as passionate as they come but even David Blaine couldn't get a World Cup winners medal with the riders we've got.

rabbit 1 Posted July 15, 2008 Why would it have been a flood of tears ........People said swindon would be bottom with the team thay had and look at them now maybe he could do the same with team gb . Rosco and woffinden are the only hopes for gb speedway . When I saw your post from last night, I thought, bless him, he's pished again. But seeing as you've posted this early evening, you really are serious aren't you? Or was it early finish again at the Noodle King?! I love Rosco to bits, but Team GB manager? Not sure world speedway is quite ready for that although strangely I don't think you're as bonkers for saying that as I thought you were last year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bazaar3 0 Posted July 15, 2008 I love Rosco to bits, but Team GB manager? Have to agree. Like Rosco, but don't think he is quite ready for the role tactically and obviously the BSPA and myself actually amazingly agreed on something.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted July 15, 2008 Think Havelock should be in the pits with our boys Thursday night! Yes, he'd be a really good role model, having to nip out of the pits every few minutes for a cigarette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,353 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Why doesn't everybody just give Jim a chance. He's been thrown in the deepend, but now im sure he will have a good look at things and take stock!. The way forward is to give the kids a chance, but you still need that bit of experience thrown in. I also agree on another thread what Bob Dugard allegedly said,we should run the World Cup every two years, and just run a couple of test meetings to give and bring the kids on!. I said quite a while ago the future of British speedway looked quite rosie, with some of the kids on the upgrade. But these kids now need to prove they can step up to the mark and prove they have what it takes!. Neil did his best with the riders that he had at his Disposal and was unlucky not to win a World Cup, Now its time to give Jim the backing and let him start looking to the future!. We also need to have money put back in to Briitsh speedway, wheres we have regular training and practice facillitys, the Poles and Sweds and Danes can do it, why can't we!!. The Academy League works well, but it mustn't stop there!. Edited July 17, 2008 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodneyparade 0 Posted July 18, 2008 What good is it critcising the manager ? After all it's not him who races. The riders just aren't good enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
