GiveusaB 1,105 Posted May 5, 2019 How has Paco gone from being our best rider to our worst in just 2 meetings ? strange one that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argos 262 Posted May 5, 2019 Don’t know but at least he’s an asset, worth bugger all, but never the less an asset, Nice to see Danny win heat 2, just shows how clueless Rogers is 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,105 Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) I cant workout why he didn't use a T/S in heat 9 and left Paco in ??? Another 'woeful/inept' display by all ! Well done Danyon ! Edited May 5, 2019 by GiveusaB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argos 262 Posted May 5, 2019 I can hear the post match report now “some of the riders did well, not the result we wanted but the team spirit is second to none even on the Track walk,Which really means the Team Spirit is good but we’ve got a rubbish team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdsalBoy 181 Posted May 5, 2019 Zaine Kennedy proving to be a real find for Sheffield, only a handful of meetings done at owlerton but he is only going to get better and better. Quality rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Im sorry that i have to say this, but the warning signs are out for the Brummies already even this early in the season, History shows that Brummies fans have never supported a losing team, and this present Team are going to need strong shoulders, because they will be holding the rest of the League up for sure, they either need some more investors or need to unearth a talent that no-one is aware of..

Cue Ball 413 Posted May 5, 2019 Any news on Drew? Birmingham surprised me for the first half of the meeting by keeping up with us, but the second half was a different story and having heat leaders made the difference for the Tigers. Made me chuckle when the announcer before heat 13 said something about the battle of the big guns and I overheard a Brummie supporter complaining because they didn’t have any!!

Well done Danyon ! 7 out of 7 loses and only remotely close to getting anything in just one of them meetings. I get the impression that most Brummies fans must be public servants because the word culpability or responsibility seem to be taboo words . Personally i think we need a manager with a winning mentality to squeeze a few extra points out of a team that will struggle to compete. In terms of making team changes well only Zach would be safe . Every rider has been so inconsistent that it would be struggle to decide who gets the chop. I would probably see who we could get in first and take it from there . our averages will be so low soon we can probably make any changes we like . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quality With him never having seen a lot of away tracks, there's going to be some disparity between his home and away scoring this season, mind. But he's certainly enjoyable to watch around Owlerton, that's for sure. Re Drew, he's riding today for Kent, so he must be alright to some degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However the official referees scorecard published on the British Speedway official website gives it as Hume in 3rd and Kennedy 4th so I presume this will be the version that goes down in 'Speedway History' and will be reflected in Kennedy's CMA (won't affect Hume as he was Guesting). Personally I'd go with Heathcote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
