    Zagar? 

    Will do a reasonable job...

    Double figs (including bonus), most nights off five rides I would say..

    One win and maybe one last per night, with the rest in scoring positions..

    He would keep the score at least closer than maybe some..

    As Wolfe said, he is a one track pony in the UK these days. Huge difference between his BV average and his away average.

    Would struggle for double figures imho.

    A decent meeting with some excellent speedway. So good to see someone other than Zmarzlik winning.

    Lambert sadly went backwards in his last 2 important heats but well done to Holder.

    Track got rougher as the meeting went on and glad that gate 4 came good in the last 2 important heats, Freddie made good use of it in the final.

    Woffy looked completely disinterested pulling up when at the back is a pet hate of mine.

    Bewley has speed but gets lost in traffic.

    Stop talking sense, that's not allowed on here.

    He must hit the ground running and be able to ride tracks he's never seen before from day 1!! Tut tut.

    It's not his fault that Birmingham have been build so poorly, he's a solid rider but to be thrown in the deep end at number 1, partnered with Tom or Steve (two experienced campaigners) and against the likes of Jack Holder, Tai Woffinden, Maciej Janowski, Emil Sayfutdinov, Jason Doyle, Chris Harris. He's never going to score to his assessed 7.50 average now is he? He should be at number 3 or 4 (against the Josh Pickering, Nicolai Klindt, Charles Wright, Danny Kings of the league) with a solid team around him.

    Yes sadly Birmingham had riders assessed UP when most teams want riders on low false averages.

    Unfortunately for the Brummies he has come into our league which is at its strongest in 12 years or more so it was always going to be tough for him.

    That said he is a very capable rider.

    Adapt?

    Not sure I'm buying in to that?

    Great rider?

    Not sure about that either?

    What has he done to merit being 'great'?

    I'm not knocking your opinion...but I would swap 'great' for maybe 'capable'?

    He's had 5 meetings and been 'sh#te' so far !

    I'd say he's a trier...but nowhere near good enough to be a Premier Heat Leader from what I've seen!

    He hasn’t ridden in the UK in years so of course he needs to adapt to the British tracks.

    He scored 8 in his 2nd meeting so he certainly wasn’t sh#te in that one.

    He rides in the top flight in Sweden and had ridden regularly in the top flight in Poland (the 2nd tier in Poland is not much different to our top flight) so it’s without question he is more than a decent rider.

    He is definetly a racer and a trier and I’m delighted he is back in British speedway. I hope he stays and is able to settle.

    Yes… in the Polish bottom league!!! No where near premier league standard. That’s his true level unfortunately 

    It’s not the bottom league. It’s a very high standard league when you consider the standard of riders. Similar to our league.

    Milik is a decent standard in Europe and needs to adapt to UK tracks before he starts scoring well which he will. Great rider.

    Sorry....I got lost in the 'chat'...I meant Riss is better than Lampart?

    Like I say....why arent Bham snapping Klindt up in place of Lampart?

    Klindt is arguably better than Worrall/Millik/Cook and Lampart???

    Riss definetly has room for improvement on that average, but he has never looked like being better in the top flight than Klindt.

    Klindt for Lampart or Worrall is an improvement.

    Using what logic because he isn’t. Klindt has out averaged Riss year in year out and is a decent dependable 3rd heat leader whereas Riss is just an average second string.

    Lampart maybe had the potential to be a hit in the UK (although evidence suggests not so far!) whereas little improvement in Riss.

    Totally agree with these comments, Ross for Kerr, then decide who to drop when Kerr returns, seems an obvious solution.

    Id agree with that so this decision is barmy? Riss is a downgrade on Klindt so the only sense is another change coming as well?

    the season is barely a month old tho!

    I said earlier if the Brummies could'nt win this with this team they would struggle to win a meeting all season, 5-1's from the Leicester reserves against so called Brum Heat leaders is not what the fans want to see, Tolley has 2 choices carry on and lose shed loads more, or put his hand deeper into his pocket and get a true No1, Milik is finding it tough, Worrall is not a heat leader right now he aint a very good second string, Flint flattered to deceive against Sheffield, hard as it may seem Lampart, Milik or Worrall have to make way for a proper No1 goodness me Nigel Tolley needs to bring in quickly a proven experienced team manager that knows who to sign and what he is doing, their was one kicking his heels down in Swindon but Tolley has placed his faith in the wrong people yet again.

     

    Not sure what you mean Tolley is losing shed loads of money.

    Crowds apparently have been decent, certainly was when I was at the last home match and plenty of Wolves, Cradley and Cov fans enjoying the racing too.

    If anything I think he will be more than happy with expenses from much bigger crowds than they have been used too.

    As expected tho the power of the Lions top 5 was on show tonight. Or just against poor opposition it’s hard to make out. 6 points from your top 2 just isn’t good enough.

    Brummies were poor out the gate and was a big let down.

    Nicholls was awesome and Brennan did good, particularly his last 2 rides however the rest were very poor.

    Milik had one good race but gating was awful.

    Lampart looked quick to drop it in heat 10 after minimal contact with Harris which cost the club points.

    Flint failing to beat the rookie 16 year old in heat 8 was a big let down.

    Worrall was woeful and Cook only slightly better.

    If you can’t beat a team without their number one then it’s going to be a long season.

    Crowd was decent with a fair smattering of Wolves and Bees fans plus a couple of old Heathens.

    A couple of decent action races but the majority of races were strung out.

    Disappointed with Milik who I really like and looking forward to seeing Pawlicki later in the season.

    Oxford really never looked like losing.
