Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted April 24, 2018 7 minutes ago, Matt Ford Fan said: Szczepaniak 18 points from 17 rides this season is poor considering he has faced both the Swindon and Wolverhampton reserve pairing's already this season. Spanner hasn't been in the UK for around 4 years, and has been to wolves. Starting ave 4.54.....After 4 meetings it's 4.24. Should at least do his average given more than 4 meetings. Woryna was 4.65 (at reserve I think). Now 4.89 riding in the team. Already up and he should improve even more. Shanes was 2.88. Now 2.46. I wouldn't say "He's a dead weight". Will probably do his average given a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,049 Posted April 24, 2018 6 minutes ago, Bleeds Pirate Blue said: Agreed. Szczepaniak has exceeded my expectations to date. He's been solid or better in every meeting to date. Fans who thought Woryna and Szczepaniak were suddenly going to be 7.50+ riders were extremely optimistic. Szczepaniak has along with Shanes done his job, its the top end thats the issue. And we was told in no uncertain terms how good Woryna was going to be because of how good he is in Poland. So far he hasnt shown anything to make me think he could challenge for a heat leader role though that may change in time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As we know to well, a riders form abroad don't always follow then here.. It's Gosh, Linus that have dropped the most I believe. I think Kurtz will be ok .Only had one bad meeting.

I think he's doing ok. Just like football when they leave the pits its out of Neils hands. Believe me, he does his job in the pits. There's only so much you can say. And before some smart Ar-- says its not football its speedway, fooballers leave the tunnel its out of the managers hands.

They probably would win the Championship... ...The problem is they are riding in the Premiership. Time to drop back down to a level they can compete at?

Owenbros 38 Posted April 24, 2018 If Middlo has lost the passion to get the team going why don't Poole go for Stewart Dickson former team manager at Glasgow? In a lot of people's opinion one of the best managers in British speedway and would maybe relish the new challenge. Was he not going to be stand in for Middlo the other week, I read somewhere that Matt Ford had asked Dickson to take the team as Middlo was on holiday. Yous could do worse 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
