StevePark 2,800 Posted July 17, 2015 So on saturday can we use rr for him at worky?? 5.54 Tero is not in the re-declared 1-7 until Sunday, so Konopka guests at reserve for Lewis R and Christian remains in 1-7 on Saturday, dropping to reserve for the match against Scunny on Sunday.

HadrianDog 291 Posted July 17, 2015 Not really the change I was looking for!!!, Does he make us any stronger, no not really. This reminds me of the Jamie Smith incident, I'm sure he got injured, was replaced and then didn't want to come back/didn't come back, hope the same does not happen with Rose as would be a shame to lose a good talented English rider from our team. Looking at weather forecast for Sunday, might not get to see Aarnio make his debut. Interesting to see the scores for Ludvig, Simon and Anton last night, clearly shows nothing wrong with them or equipment so to me clearly shows the track at Brough needs sorting out, looks like we need a bit more material on the outside line for them to prosper. We appear to have no home track advantage, further cemented by the Sheffield result. Exactly! I can live quite happily with the 'Rough Park' jibes, a home defeat however, much less so. This change seems to be a reasonable one. Henry should 'take' most reserves and Tero is a 'trier'. Has an unfortunate tendency to fall off at least once in a meeting though, so maybe sometimes tries too hard. A likable guy who should soon have the 'faithful' on his side scores permitting. Since I suggested him as a poss. candidate several matches back, I hope he has some success. If he can merely score at around Henry's average, then his placement will allow us to fill the minor places for more four or even five ones. Too many times this season have I seen a Diamond win a heat to merely keep the overall score as level as before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted July 23, 2015 Swindon Speedway @SwindonSpeedway 4h4 hours ago SWINDON reserve Lewis Rose has been diagnosed with a fractured scaphoid after further tests on his injured wrist. Rose is likely to be out for up to four weeks. Very sad this. Once again the 'Diamonds' are struck by injuries. Hope Lewis recovers well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HadrianDog 291 Posted July 23, 2015 Scaphoid is one of those bones with little area blood flow, with hence slower recovery times. Should give Tero a good go for the Diamonds though. I would love to see him have a really good month-or more- in our colours. Any news on Christian, anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Diamond 51 Posted July 23, 2015 Real shame fo Rose hope he comes back strong next season for the Diamonds, still think he has potential with a good reserve to remove some of the pressure. It also means promotion dont have to make a decision which would have been tricky, Tero has a chance to impress and he looked up for the battle last sunday despite lack of points. To be fair to him he but was never going find it easy just arriving in the country Rye House wil be better meeting to judge him. Also good chance for Simon after last week excellent peformances and Christian if fit to show they can be a strong reserve partnership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted July 24, 2015 After the news on Lewis Rose, it's not looking too encouraging for Christian, is that our secret weapon at reserve 'up the creek' ??? :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HadrianDog 291 Posted July 24, 2015 Well if Chistian's own posting proves to be accurate, it seems that our management have yet more head scratching to do. Where can they find a five pointer I wonder in the hope that young Rose returns on time. Short of him being a total flop, the obvious choice is keep Aarnio if averages will allow?

ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted July 25, 2015 Tero will drop to reserve next month, should help him get in the 'points', shame for Christian,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HadrianDog 291 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Yeah, Tero should prove to be very dangerous at reserve. But does that put a returning Rose straight into the fire at no2 yet again? Edited July 26, 2015 by HadrianDog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePark 2,800 Posted July 25, 2015 Yeah, Tero should prove to be very dangerous at reserve. But does that put a returning Rose straight into the fire at no2 yet again. Not with a 3.84 average it doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HadrianDog 291 Posted July 26, 2015 Checked out the new g/s averages and it seems we have 2.2ish to play with again { or around 6. if Rose is still out. When is the 'transfer' deadline this season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,672 Posted August 5, 2015 I didn't know this was set up,but what a great way of helping Lewis and his family at this very distressing time.I don't know if this has been put on this thread but I thought I would anyway.Lets give this as much exposure as we can. http://www.gofundme.com/d54vykh9fh9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackadder 280 Posted August 5, 2015 Checked out the new g/s averages and it seems we have 2.2ish to play with again { or around 6. if Rose is still out.
