At reserve would be a no brainier.

How much do we have to play with tho? Ricky is 4.52 and Ash more than a full point less on 3.44.

 

The latest rolling averages on speedway GB site add up to 40.35 so 2.15 to play with. Ashley now 3.32 and Ricky now 4.42 so should easily fit if these figures are correct

Interesting to see if Wells gets the sack then!

Maybe he just needs to get his confidence back at a track he knows well

your welcome to him but don't build your hopes up lol !! its not 100% we will sack him ? lemmo is pretty loyal we don't do many changes as a rule ? but the fans are unsettled i'm sure he reads fans forums etc and we need a winning team for attendances at NSS losing team will result in lower crowds which we can't afford sadly !!

If they are not performing they have to go, it sometimes does a rider good not to ride in the top league for a while and get their confidence back or change to a different team. Change can work out for the rider and the team. Wells has always been good at the tighter tracks so in my opinion riding in the wide open spaces of the NSS was never going to suit him.

our main aim was for away tracks but he has failed sadly !!

That's the problem, we tend to be very loyal aswell, I don't see us dropping any of the top 5 or Becker. Ashley is the obvious choice but options on replacing him are very limited

here's a weird idea - how about clubs stick with riders and support the 1 to 7. Too many changes - no loyalty, no continuity. One of the many problems

And you've had exactly this with Ben Barker this year - a guy who has done very well for the Bears in his time with you, but obviously had an issue that the Redcar management felt was too much for their loyalty to him to continue.

It is a very good point you make - it would indeed be an interesting season if clubs could only change a rider when one is injured ….. and even then there would probably need to be something in place to check that any injuries were genuine.

I expect Lemmo's loyalty only remains with a rider if he is not able to sign one he feels would improve the team - Wells' place maybe safe only because of the maths at the moment. Lemon soon sacked Justin Sedgemen when Rohan Tungate be came available - and I'm not sure that replacing Jye Etheridge with Mark Riss will go down as one of Mark's better decisions!!

I'm not suggesting NO changes - there are just too many these days, far too many. Obviously, injuries and teams occasionally need to strengthen but to squeeze riders in and out based on averages like we are is awful. Once you have a culture of win at all costs you're knackered because not everyone can win!

We've been loyal to Barker - it ends in tears every where he goes.

I expected he would have been gone now after that shocking effort at Swindon.

Bellego has been taken, there really isn't much out there.

I can only assume that we may ride on the back of the upcoming KL changes.

Proctor will be free potentially

There are limited options these days for making changes and it’s likely there isn’t anyone better on his average to replace him with.

As for Wolves they are usually loyal to riders but have been more ruthless in recent seasons.

Its all speculation anyway if it may or may not happen anyway.
