greyhoundp 990 Posted May 7, 2014 Well done Brummies and well done Danny King. Morris no suprise to me, has laboured in the PL for two or three seasons now and I don't see him going too much further in the sport personally. There are two things with Ashley,1st he is an inconsistent gater, which will always mean struggling in some races, second and only my opinion, he either doesnt have the best equipment or its not set up right, those two combined will see Ashley struggle, plus with Tai, Proctor,Ricky and Jacob and a none english speaking Pole, where does the experience come from ?.

Guest GiveusaB Posted May 7, 2014 What a difference a week makes.. Completely different atmosphere on the terraces lots of enthusiasm, same on track you could see and feel the difference. even our presenter was showing more enthusiasm!!!! Slickly run meeting top marks to the promotion. A good nights entertainment. King back on form but needs his bum kicking for ht 8, riding shot gun for Nico, keeping Wells back he then clears of into the distance leaving NIco vulnerable so letting Wells pass him... what happened to team riding? a win for Nico would have been a big confidence boost. Nice to to see Nico back, rather watch him any day giving 100% than Gordon Bennett. Barker was putting in some laps after the meeting. "You meet the nicest people at Birmingham speedway" I presume that Danny didn't trust Nicole in front of him? And I have to agree with his judgement nico was great entertainment, but I haven't seen anyone go that low since Mike Broadway's! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waiheke1 4,295 Posted May 7, 2014 Average suggests so, but better to have a 4.5 guy scoring 3 than a 6.5 guy scoring 3 and use those 2 points towards a stronger change elsewhere in the team (replace King with a 9 pointer for example). A six pointer scoring three from a heat leader spot is arguably doing a better job than a 4.5 guy scoring 3 as a second string.As for a nine pointer - who do you suggest that brum can afford and that would be willing to ride here? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont think so... he put in some laps after the meet and practice starts, so I assume he was trying different set ups "You meet the nicest people at Birmingham speedway" Edited May 7, 2014 by Nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for a nine pointer - who do you suggest that brum can afford and that would be willing to ride here? Still rather have the 2 points for more options for changes, in any case Kennet would have ceased to be a heat leader at the recent averages so that point is no longer valid. Second question is less easy to answer, but Belle Vue pulled out Zagar when faced with the same problem. Edited May 7, 2014 by david2905 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted May 7, 2014 Piotr Pawlicki is the only rider holding Wolves together and all of you moan because Piotr cant speak English. If you want to blame someone blame Woffy. Tai Woffinden was the best rider in the World last year. What's changed? I'll tell you what. Pawlicki. You try doing something with someone babbling in your ear in a language you don't understand, it will distract and put you off. Speedway is a dangerous enough sport as it is without being unable to understand what your partner is saying to you during a race. I'm sure Pawlicki means well and he certainly tries hard, but the negatives outweigh the positives I'm afraid. I'd make him sit an A Level in English next month and if he doesn't pass I'm afraid he should be shown the door. I suspect Ty Proctor is also struggling for form for the same reason as Woffinden. The only rider that seems to have improved is Ricky Wells, being American he sees anyone east of Berlin as Russian and is determined to prove a point that USA is best. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon he would average minimum six. That said covatti should at least average 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,826 Posted May 7, 2014 Wolves should drop Woffy and bring back Fast Freddie in my opinion. it would not surprise me to see Fast Freddie back at Wolves in the very near future. Funny, you should mention it more often. And if it was not for Pawlicki then Wolves would be the worst team in the league WRONG, Wells and Thorssell have improved and the rest of the team are covering for lack of points from Woffy. Plenty of spirit about the Brummies tonight and lead superbly by King who in truth was untouchable. If he stepped up like this from the off Brum would stand a chance in most meetings. Nermark certainly the other bright spark and is more than doing his job. Adam likewise was consistent. Wolves again were let down by no fire power from our number one. Jacob really shouldn't have been 3rd in what was one of his easiest rides in heat 12. Other than that the rest of the boys kept the pressure on the home side. Pawlicki took 2 races to get dialed i but yet again was our top man. Joe and Ty did there job in the 14th. Despite all that Brum were the better side and deserved their win, thankfully our efforts resulted in a point back from ones already dropped at home. Thought the meeting and racing was dull and lack luster tho. Brum Sqora - consistent . 3/5 Nermark - Did a grand job 4/5 King - World beater on KK type bikes. 5/5 Covatti - loved by the locals and at least added some points. Dont really expect more points tho from him match on match. 1.5/5 Barker - not really at the races 0.5/5 Starke - Excellent showing and, along with King, turned this meeting into a win. 4/5 Lambert - one good scrap and battle - 0.5/5 WOLVES TAI - Just not quick or committed. 1.5/5 JACOB - expected more. 1.5/5 RICKY - well deserved heat 15 and was quick and pacey throughout. 3.5/5 TY - Much improved after a slow start to the meeting 3/5 PIOTR - slow start then pulled off 2 big wins late on. Nicked 2nd after pressure in heat 15.3.5/5 JOE - 2nd good meeting on the bounce. Excellent Week for him. 3.5/5 MOTM ASH - Glad to see his costly engine gremlins didn't resurface tonight. 2.5/5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
