stevebrum 6,835 Posted September 22, 2015 No doubt batch was thinking ahead to the Gp, at the weekend. Can't see why he would bother. He us only making up the numbers. Which is one of the reasons why the FTR draft is a complete debacle.. Is it? So teams never had strong reserves on ridiculously low averages that benefited the team all season before the FTR? Reserves have always been key to the success of any team .In fact I would say they have always been the key ingredient. So nothing new here then. The only major difference is assets being protected which naturally favour those with the strongest assets. What is the answer? Stop bleating about other teams having the best reserves and do something about it. Invest in youth, team up with a NL team , and make younger riders assets to protect them. I would hazard a guess that it's those without assets whining about those who have. Shop playing the green eyed monster and do something about it. We need a clear progression and there are plenty of promising youngsters out there waiting to be encouraged. Don't wait for them to fall into your lap through the draw. Do a bit of homework .

Tsunami 10,219 Posted September 22, 2015 It is best to ignore the ramblings of Roscoe Why. Because he is telling the truth like it should be. If he masked it, and did a cover job, the same folks would be on his back for not telling the truth. Can't really win with whining fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gresham78 215 Posted September 22, 2015 Congratulations to the Aces - they were the better team in both legs of the semi final and deservedly go through to the final.Best of luck against the Pirates. Batch has come for a lot stick after his performance last night and given he's club captain its hard to defend. IMO he's looked out of sorts all season, the injury he sustained in the opening league fixture at Blunsden against Poole seemed to dent his confidence and he's never really recovered it. Personally, much as i like the guy, I think it would be in the best interests of both rider and club if he moved on elsewhere next season. I think he's got stale at Swindon and needs a new challenge to get back to his best. Best thing from last night was seeing the lovely Sophie Blake in the Pits!

SCB 15 Posted September 22, 2015 What Batchs crap performance does do is make me realise Swindon probably didn't fiddle anything to get Ward in. He's just a bit rubbish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theblueboy 960 Posted September 22, 2015 What Batchs crap performance does do is make me realise Swindon probably didn't fiddle anything to get Ward in. He's just a bit rubbish. To be fair, you have all been told. Some people who have probably not even been to Blunsdon once this year have been making all sorts of allegations of skulduggery, however, us regulars have noted that he does not attack the corners when he is chasing other riders and when he misses the gate is just damn right poor. I said last week he should not be at 1 as he does not lead by example nor is he a leader of men. He is a good rider but just not good enough to do what we want him to do, which is win heat 1, set the tempo for the rest of the meeting and regularly score double figures home and away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted September 23, 2015 You know, this meeting reminded me of the early 1970's, with even the most experienced riders partially free wheeling into the corners and turning on the power mid corner, not like today, throttle on the stop, with the rear wheel spinning constantly for 4 laps, patchy tracks and modern day riding techniques just don't match... A slightly grippier area and the rear tyre bites and the rider arrows in a straight line!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted September 23, 2015 What Batchs crap performance does do is make me realise Swindon probably didn't fiddle anything to get Ward in. He's just a bit rubbish. Hes been awful all season. I don't think I have seen him pass one rider this year at Blunsdon. Complete opposite to Summers who has ridden his nuts off for every point since he signed despite the fact its put him on a stupid average for next season which means he will find it difficult to get a place anywhere. Batch will be prob be in demand on his average and he has put in minimal effort this season whereas Summers will be looked at as too risky. Its just not right! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have seen meetings on in a lot worse both here and abroad. If anything in Poland & Sweden don't they sometime delay the start after very heavy rain but still try hard to get it on? @AdverSport: PK slams Rosco and Batch after play-off let down: ROBINS rider Peter Kildemand has laid into captain Troy Batc... http://t.co/HZebCZv4zq I'm no fan of Rosco & Batchelor but I think Kildemand shouldn't just be blaming them. The fact he couldn't stay on the bike over either leg was one of the biggest problems Edited September 23, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never been Ward's biggest fan but really hope he has a full recovery and think it's very sad what had happened to him. I noticed there are a few on that same thread who are posting things about him getting too much attention which is terrible. There also seem to be a few who have all joined July/Aug time on the play off threads who seem there mainly just to stir. Have never seen them before but now posting all the time with exactly the same opinions. Is KKS the same one as before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
