IronScorpion 1,407 Posted July 28, 2021 16 hours ago, eric i said: Ellis average drops from 9.74 to 7.92 from 1st of august....... Straight swap Theo Pijper for Josh Auty, might be harsh on Theo but I think it would make us stronger. 15 hours ago, Ryan555 said: Yeah as much as it’s an interesting option Theo has been brilliant and has put a lot on his average and doesn’t deserved to be dropped 14 hours ago, Ryan555 said: Bit of a left field one here but we could drop Simon Lambert for Auty and Macdonald for Kinsley. In my opinion Kinsley really deserves a championship spot he’s smashing the national league and was thrown into an impossible job with Kings Lynn Ellis average was expected to drop but he was brought in for his away scoring which he has done. It is just his home scoring which could improve & see him nearer 8.5. Pijper has done an awesome job & has increased his initial average by 1.06 which does not include 17 bonus points protecting his partner in front. Aarnio & Jorgensen, by contrast, have increased by 0.05 & 0.43 respectively. While Auty was struggling with set ups with the new tyres, admitted by Peet, Lambert was scoring more than expected reaching above 6(an increase on around 1 point) but his scoring has been lowered, slightly, riding with a true no1, which, no offence to Auty who is still a heat leader but not at no1. Also, Lambert has been an excellent captain with team spirit probably as high as never been seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eric i 617 Posted July 28, 2021 Was there something more to Josh Auty's sacking, a disagreement between riders perhaps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he didn't get his head around the set up issue before, whose to say he would on his return. His injury to his neck might be more serious than we all know so his confidence will have really taken a blow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was no fall out Josh just had a few things going on in his life that he needed to sort and Speedway was getting in the way... However Josh may be back sooner than you think...
