Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted May 14, 2014 What a load of b0ll0cks. Keyboard commandos who clearly have no idea, especially surprised at El Addio who up to now I thought was quite a sensible poster. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 413 Posted May 14, 2014 Davey Watt can be a great rider to watch when on form but he does have Kasprzak type tendencies as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,354 Posted May 14, 2014 Sorry Dave but you have been a good servant for the Hammers but it is time to move on. His scores wont improve away from home so come on Cookie and Duggo sign Sundstrom and get him in the side for the tv match vs Kings Lynn on Monday. Sorry mush, but i really do think your being a little harsh there. Where you've calmed down and seen the light of day you may like to re-concider you post. Davey just had a mare at Poole, which is very much un-like him. And if you travel half way round Europe and ride like he did at the weekend which was the best i'd seen him ride for a fair old time, i think you'd be slightly tired as well.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Custom House Kid 45 Posted May 14, 2014 A Lot of post's about Davey but no mention of Mikkel. Has the dreaded heat leader position caught up? Or is it Just that Heat leader scores are problematic across the board in this current format ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,821 Posted May 15, 2014 I think both Bjarne & Davey will have their reputations tarnished for how they've rode against Poole which is a shame as both have been loyal servants to british speedway but their just ain't no co-incidence with it. Is anyone really surprised that Watt performs poor against Poole? Its about as blatant as you can get. I cannot believe some are using the `poor thing must be tired` tag. Really????? Professional rider that does this for a living shock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E I Addio 15,845 Posted May 15, 2014 What a load of b0ll0cks. Keyboard commandos who clearly have no idea, especially surprised at El Addio who up to now I thought was quite a sensible poster. If any 2nd heat leader in the country on a nearly 8 point average scored 2 points on a track he had ridden for years there would be questions asked. We know that Peter Karlsson is having trouble getting his bikes sorted and KelvinTatum has been in the Lakeside pits with him so there is at least a reason and attempts are being made to get it sorted. As far as Davey is concerned this is not the first time he has not fired against Poole with no explanation given so fans are entitled to ask if there is something more than mere co-incidence. FWIW I don't go along with all this rubbish people post about him giving up just because he is at the back. We have seen him come through the field in quite specular fashion at times, but when a rider is a decent gater on good form, able to come through from the back, and then he suddenly has a match where he just drops further behind, who wouldn't ask what he is doing? Bottom line is he let the club down. It's not unreasonable to expect a rider of his calibre to score 5or6points. If he had done that Lakeside would have got something out of the match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedwaysliders 176 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Poor blokes knackered after flying all over Europe with 2 rain-offs and no money!! Dont worry think hes guesting for K Lynn at Birmingham thursday night, riding at number 1 instead of NKI!!! Edited May 15, 2014 by speedwaysliders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 956 Posted May 15, 2014 If I was in charge I would have to let him go, most of the time he tries his best and does a good job but he just can no longer be trusted to perform when it might go against his parent club and it would be such a shame to get to the play off only to lose because one rider has a hidden agenda even if it's only on a subconscious level.

dump that clutch 630 Posted May 15, 2014 Saturday Germany (fenced by Pedersen), Sunday Poland, Monday BV, Tuesday Sweden, Wednesday Poole. That's why he scored badly, the man is knackered. i agree, just like NKI who scored 15 last night....

Eagle727 21 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Doesn't anyone remember the season Watt rode for Eastbourne when... over the last few weeks of the season... scores of 0, 1 or 2 were commonplace... and his average plummeted to such an extent that he was just able to be fitted in to the following seasons Poole team... Just a coincidence...? I dont think so... Edited May 15, 2014 by FromRebelToEagle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEITH M 850 Posted May 15, 2014 If Watt can't be ar*ed he won't try at all.. I Remember when he rode for Newcastle he never tried at meetings at Stoke and Exeter (maybe scored 1 point in total if he was lucky) We lost both meetings by few points and ended up losing the league on points difference... Bitter ..... Too right I am, would never have him my team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted May 15, 2014 I think both Bjarne & Davey will have their reputations tarnished for how they've rode against Poole which is a shame as both have been loyal servants to british speedway but their just ain't no co-incidence with it. TBF to Davey he doesnt have a bad record against Poole. He's just a rider who when he's not in the mood doesn't give a rubbish and score sod all - regardless of opposition. He's no Bjarne, who just doesn't give a toss against Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
