Gazc 6,976 Posted July 24, 2019 1 hour ago, Sidney the robin said: I hope the lad stays and gets a long prolonged run Jenga, because he has made huge strides.My point about the vulnerability of young riders who have a certain average is that teams that often have strong top fives often have a vulnerable rider in the 1-5 or one who is expected to be the senior reserve. Simple solution increase the team building average to there rightful level of 42.5, it will go a long way in protecting these young riders. The current stupid level is doing these young riders no favours whatsoever. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drew Kemp is a prime example of what you are talking about Gazc , he has dug in really well in the top five .When really he should of been a second reserve all year learning his trade i was chuffed with his U21 WTC performance at Belle Vue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst that is very true Kemp will probably benefit from it in the long run. There is a balance from allowing riders to develop in time verses giving riders too easy a time at reserve and taking away the grit and determination required to make it.

Totally agree but not all will be as good as Drew and. some will have there confidence shot to pieces after a while.Also at NL level an example young Wirtzfeld at the IOW already in the top five and Wildman at reserve that is not right changes need to be made. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't argue with that. No way that Widman should be blocking up a reserve berth in the NL. Riders like him and the other non improvers are a big problem with that league. Not sure of the answer maybe increase a riders minimum average in line with number of seasons completed in that league? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted July 28, 2019 The question is should Laurence "whats the point it makes no difference " Rogers be Team Manager in 2020 ? As the Majority of people have said nice guy but tactically woeful . How to vote is; Like= New manager Sad = LR to remain in 2020. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted July 28, 2019 I was told that Aarnio had ordered a special cast for last Wednesday to help his wrist but it hadn't arrived, so he went with heavy strapping. He did have a fall at Birmingham and again a few nights later, maybe its a new injury or an aggravation of his wrist problem? Talking of Wednesday, I thought Garrity was outstanding for someone who'd just come back from injury, struggled out of the gate early on but soon found the dirt and produced the fastest time at PB this season, twice I believe. I do think Agertoft is getting there slowly, gave Harris a good run for his money and deserved a few more points. Remember he is 17 and on his first venture to England. Good to see so many families with kids around, especially on the centre green, and credit to the promotion for trying to reach out to more people. Track was good and I'm told there is more shale on the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it will matter what 'fans' vote for....Peter/David are extremely happy with LR in charge of team affairs.... I'd like to think that as nice as Lawrence is......with a bit of luck, he'll stand down and let someone else have a go next season? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
