Speedway World Cup 2017

[SCB 0]

Lambert at 4, Ellis at 5. Sack Rosco now as that's a shocking decision.

[Trees 2,814]

May be because of rider psychology?

[allthegearbutnaeidea 1,732]

WTF

[mdmc82 2,878]

Not sure what Rosco is thinking. Why put Lambert in the top 4 when he could have been at reserve. Ellis has been struggling in our league so would be eaten alive if had to ride in the SWC.

Shame King isn't in the team

Honestly what on earth is he thinking picking Adam Ellis over Danny King/Scott Nicholls effectively, load of f***ing sh*t

Ellis his mate

[Marksman 528]

Shocking indeed, no logic in that decision at all. Ellis obviously only in at 5 because he rides for Swindon.

I see Mark Lemon hasn't made that mistake with Max Fricke!

Because he is a wise guy, Rossiter is not!

Morris has concussion which he picked up on Friday, is 8 days enough time? Clearly so as he is in the Aussie team, Lambert also injured his wrist tonight at Newcastle, I see Czech and USA have taken advantage of the U21 rule as well...

[Woz01 3,589]

I thought we had half a chance beating Australia at Kings Lynn with Lambert at 5. Ellis will get points if called upon but it's a big ask for him to beat the Australians.

What's the rules with the reserves this year, it seems to change every year

Start at page 1 of this thread and you will find it.

It's a Middlo type call. Taxi for Rosco.

[ray c 2,299]

nicholls or king lambert reserve poor choice rosco time to go i think

[Trees 2,814]

I reckon he did it because there is the chance that Robert wouldn't actually get a ride as reserve, but deserves his place in the team proper as such. Rider psychology?

[mdmc82 2,878]

Bates rides Kings Lynn well and is averaging more than Ellis so is the Swindon connection the reason he got it?

Think King or Nicholls are miles better than Ellis.

 

Think Poland should walk it looking at the line ups.
