poole keith 911 Posted July 19, 2017 why?well i would imagine wolves fans will now fear they have the weakest reserve pairing in the league,team needs to be structered that a decent top 5 rider is always alternating with the highest scoring reserve,maintaining 1 quality reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,821 Posted July 19, 2017 Why the bleating on Perks? Great little rider with a future and better than Clegg and Greaves. He is a number 7 in the top flight, not a 6. He has done well this season and improved. I'd prefer greaves over Clegg this season. Clegg made a step forward last season but has gone backwards since. Greaves outscored both Perks last week and Clegg on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perton Wolf 396 Posted July 19, 2017 Why the bleating on Perks? Great little rider with a future and better than Clegg and Greaves. Well, he scored 0 at Monmore when Guesting for us vs Rye House. He's more of a no7 than a no6, although he should be able to pick up a few points away. Greaves is a 2pt average rider, not sure why you keep mentioning him........he's probably better than Clegg anyway who isn't good enough to ride in the top league at all. Yes, as long as it is an injury replacement. The objective now is to scrape into the playoffs. We are going to be very vulnerable. I looked at the table today and didn't realise how close we are to 5th place, our lack of away wins is starting to bite now. Thankfully, Kings Lynn are in a bit of a mess without Holder and Rye House won't pick up enough away wins to trouble us either. Swindon are the ones to watch now.

BWitcher 12,453 Posted July 19, 2017 There were a number of meetings we blew earlier in the year, especially away from home. Meetings we should have either won, or taken more match points from. Folk were ecstatic we won at Somerset with the poor guest bookings we made, stronger guests would have secured all 4pts. They don't seem important at the time, but if you pick up some injuries as we have done and hit a sticky spell, those extra pts here and there can be absolutely vital. We've gone from a team battling to be top with Belle Vue to one likely to finish 4th at best. I wouldn't rule out Kings Lynn. Batchelor is riding well, Holder is banned but he wasn't pulling up any trees regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before the mess against Poole, I was starting to think that Kings Lynn with the new averages/riding order could be a serious contender for a top 2/3 spot. Guess it depends if Holder wants to stick it to British Speedway when he comes back or whether he will continue his out of sorts form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,094 Posted July 19, 2017 Holder has had a bad season no doubt about it, not just here but everywhere, he seems scared to ride unless conditions are perfect, I am pretty sure it isn't machinery but the problems are in his head. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not seeing out a win at Poole and failing to advantage when we went Swindon are other results which could bite us. there is a very real chance we will miss out on the play offs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted July 19, 2017 Why the bleating on Perks? Great little rider with a future and better than Clegg and Greaves. Because at this point in time he doesn't have the scoring power of Mark Riss. Him being good in the future is no benefit to us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted July 20, 2017 Oh right.thank you i wasn't aware of that. Am i right though that he also doesn't seem to have the speed as he did earlier in the season. More likely the others have caught up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
