Spl77 337 Posted October 16, 2019 To clear it up Harris and King were disappointing. Niels had some bad luck. We need some gaters next year along with someone who can ride the inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
89buttons 749 Posted October 16, 2019 Fair enough all matters of opinion, from my perspective niels was winning two races that were rerun, in both reruns the opposing riders got big flyers that should have been pulled back particularly Musielak, and as we saw last night those that got put in front mostly stayed there.

Falcon1983 557 Posted October 16, 2019 This team has obviously rode above themselves most of the season so their averages will reflect that for some anyway so based on current average I'd keep Allen NKI but doubt he wants it The rest I would let go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Jason Doyle apart, I expected him to dominant proceedings. That was an average performance by his standards. I like him and want to see him excel. But I was disappointed tonight. But for re runs Niels would have had 14............... He doesnt really like Foxhall where as Swindon have top 5 or 6 that all tend to go well at our place I though Niels did fine last night King and to a lesser extent Harris were poor last night Edited October 16, 2019 by Gavan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No offence, but as a neutral I viewed his signing as a means to make something of the season at a a very late stage. I guess making the final is a measure of success but has NKI really sparkled? Last time I saw him ride, he made the final in the GP in Torun alongside the best three in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted October 16, 2019 It's as simple as this If NKI can gate and lead a race which is then stopped then he can gate, lead and win the rerun, no excuses really So none of this "would have scored 14" he didn't score 14 and was poor but not the worst rider If that was a grand prix final and he had a world title on the line you'd expect him to jump out the start no matter how many restarts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But how does that mean he wasn’t ‘up for it’? To me that phrase means he was not motivated and didn’t put the effort or commitment into his riding and I just don’t think that is the case at all. As I’ve said on another thread there isn’t necessarily a direct link between effort and points, especially on a track where if you miss the gate you are more often than not screwed.

siggysigalos 28 Posted October 16, 2019 Its been a very good season,dont think many of us expected to be in the Play Off final when our original 7 was announced,havent been to many meetings i will admit,but the few i have been to have been enjoyable,and although we didnt really do very well last night,it was still nice to be apart of play off final night at Foxhall. I do agree that 2 riders in particular were poor last night,Harris and Danny for me were well below par,Neils,for me was unlucky in a couple of heats,but sadly in the end Swindon were just better,apart from Batchelor,who again was very poor. I agree its a bit early to pick a 7,but i do love reading all your points,and i know i will get totally shot down here,as i believe it wont happen,but could we tempt Jason Doyle to Foxhall,or am i being stupid,speaking to some Swindon fans last night,they said he wouldnt be with them next season,i know its far fetched,but just putting it out there. I hope Jake Allen is retained,as Danny King and Cameron Heeps,and i also believe Richard Lawson has had a decent season,James Sargeant,Chriis Harris and Neils(for commitment reasons)would be the 3 id change. Great Crowd last night,brilliant to see Foxhall packed,well done to all supporters this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,241 Posted October 16, 2019 With the news Poole are applying to drop in to the championship, we’d be daft not to quickly contact both Klindt and Grajczonek considering how well both men ride Foxhall. They won’t be short of offers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bash 496 Posted October 16, 2019 I'd add Tobiasz Musielak to that list as well as Swindon will need to release riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a 1.6 multiplier set to be in place and possibly a 38 point limit if there is an increase in teams good luck with that..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
