screm 8,073 Posted July 9, 2016 Anyone really think Harris should be in. He's a laughing stock, total embarrassment Agree with, hopefully things are becoming clearer for Rossiter to, Woffinden, Lambert and on tonight performance Danny King are nailed on, the last place must be a toss up between Nicholls and Cook.

bruno 1,793 Posted July 9, 2016 Up till yesterday I would have gone with Harris over King but after tonight I've changed my mind again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 9, 2016 Anyone really think Harris should be in. He's a laughing stock, total embarrassment On GP form no, on league form yes. Do we know that Cook or Nicholls would do any better in the GP. I really like Nicholls but he's not got to grips with the home track yet either. As much as I don't like Tai, he should be the first rider on the team sheet. After his display in the British final and again in a strong line up tonight, King has to be in the team. For me it would be Tai, King, Lambert Then either Harris or Cook. I think Bomber is better under the pressure & usually gives 100% when its for 🇬🇧 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted July 10, 2016 Anyone really think Harris should be in. He's a laughing stock, total embarrassment 13 points for GB in some obscure SWC event at some hick country track last year and a consistent entertainer and scorer in the EL. Do you only watch GPs? Yes he's not performing in the GPs (Neither is a certain Niels Kristian Iversen by the way). but laughing stock? I've told you a million times not to exaggerate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted July 10, 2016 Anyone really think Harris should be in. He's a laughing stock, total embarrassmentReally? In what was is he an embarrassment or laughing stock? He's a very good rider who has been a great servant of British speedway, but what he isn't is world class.Can I ask if you are in the top 30 or so in your profession in the works, and if not does that make you an embarrassment and laughingstock? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted July 10, 2016 Danny Smith said Bomber was poor on Monday even though he scored 11 points! But, after last night King over took Bomber for that last position for me. Bombers performance was awful while Danny was overtaking some top riders. Don't know why some are 50/50 over Cook, for me he's a certainty with it being at Belle Vue.

Super Blue 616 Posted July 10, 2016 All about opinions I suppose but with my slightly personal bias as a Witches fan for King I would say if he's not in the team, just what the hell do you have to do to get picked? On current form I'd say Woffinden King Then maybe Lambert or Cook or both but it's take your pick really, Harris and Nicholls are both past it in my opinion. Not really that bothered on the U21 reserve as they can only be used for injury and not tactical cover anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really that bothered on the U21 reserve as they can only be used for injury and not tactical cover anyway. Surely Lambert should be nailed on, both on current form and with a view to future years, the last place IMO is a choice between Nicholls and Cook, both Belle Vue riders of course. I think the reserve argument is over, our reserve should be Josh Bates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,451 Posted July 10, 2016 Lambert and Woffinden, then god help us. Cook has reached his level as a decent EL second string and not very good around Belle Vue. Harris, well sorry after yesterdays completely embassessing an inept display no than you. Nicholls is also past his best so again no. King is riding well and after his efforts in the British Final and GP deserves the nod. So it looks like lambert, Woffinden, Cook and King. I think the reserve argument has now been completely put to bed with Ellis getting the reserve berth. Beating riders like Andreas around Lakeside proves he has got what it takes if called upon.

Bagpuss 10,841 Posted July 10, 2016 Bates is the British U21 champion and the second highest Brit in the World U21 standings behind Lambert so can feel very hard done by if he3 doesn't get the reserve spot. Like King he has produced in the big meetings this season, a good reason for both to be included. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be some second string with a 7+ average plus being the highest averaged Brit. Ellis beating Jonsson round a wee kiddies track means nothing.

ouch 1,200 Posted July 10, 2016 He is 9th overall on current stats. If he was only 0.27 higher he'd be number 1 at four tracks. He's no second string. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
