Expensive to fly in every week though. Garcia should be cleaning up at reserve but for whatever reason its not happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s just not doing the job considering average wise he is the strongest number 6 in the league just about... Wouldn't disagree with you regarding Garcia, he has flattered to deceive at times though the bottom line is he has improved his average and thats all you can ask for.

You'd think they might do better, with averages of 6.42 and 5.91 respectively! Club asset Coty Garcia is currently on 5.20 -- having (as Screm has gently pointed out above) increased his starting average. Bandits are above the 40 points, any changes would require to be like-for-like. After Saturday's win, these words were spoken in the Black & Gold: "Dany's maximum will hopefully shut the moaners up for a wee while, but all that'll mean is they'll start turning on Coty instead". Didn't take too long, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gappmaier performs at home but usually not away, Coty seems to be struggling everywhere nowadays, Leon has became an equal scoring reserve nearly every meeting home and away now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully having a decent meeting yesterday at a track where he recently had not scored, will kick him on for rest of the season. Strange thing is that Coty's average shows he is better away than at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't take too long, eh? No rider should be exempt from criticism if they are not doing what they should though the fact is both Garcia and Gappmaier have increased their averages this season, Garcia`s will come down a touch as his last couple of scores have been poor, three on Saturday and one yesterday. Gappmaier`s average is pretty much made from his home scores only as his away scores apart from yesterday and at Sheffield have been poor. My own opinion is that I am in favour of team changes if they are for the good of the team and make the team stronger, I have a feeling though at Berwick team changes will come down to the budget the club is restricted by and for that reason I dont see the team changing this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Match winner at home. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,732 Posted July 16, 2019 Everyone’s average is supposed to go up really...38 point limit at the start of the season means that probably 80% of riders will improve their average. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garcia has disappointed recently Its a fair comment from a lot of fans He should be picking up far more but I just wonder if that injury he collected several weeks ago when on fire has hit him harder than thought? Riders tend to try come back to early sometimes as it their living. I recall if not mistaken Barker doing that at Berwick when with club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

((In the previous meeting I suspect if he had raced against the Dan & Joe Thompson they both would have beaten him.)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
