The Voice Of Reason 2,124 Posted April 7, 2016 If Rob Mear struggles (yet again) then surely Ben Morley is a better punt for future home meetings? With all due respect to a bloke who has always given us 100%, constant 0's is basically making us a 6 man team from the outset. I truly hope that Rob hits some form and improves; but he currently looks so off the pace, it's extremely worrying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waco 1,026 Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Kennet has been in great form at Rye,why are they not using him??? Surely he could replace Bridger ? Edited April 8, 2016 by waco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daytripper 1,123 Posted April 8, 2016 Kennet has been in great form at Rye,why are they not using him??? Surely he could replace Bridger ? Because he has five early season fixture clashes with his PL club which would mean missing Lakeside meetings if he wasn't doubling up with Richard Lawson. Jon Cook said they were going to get those out of the way first then review the situation depending on form so Ed might yet have a full team place instead of Lewis. Very difficult decision because Lewis on his 2014 form is a match winner, but he needs to get the Jawa going properly. His actual riding looks good to me but as others have said the bike doesn't seem to be delivering power in the way that it should. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hornsey 29 Posted April 8, 2016 I agree with that assessment of the riders except Hans is usually a lot better than merely ok, in fact I would be delighted to see him as second heatleader for the Hammers. Despite Davey's form, it must be a good few years since he scored less than 7 at Lakeside, and the track suits his style perfectly. It is undoubtedly his best track apart from Poole. I woukd normally expect Hans and Daveyto score about 19/20 between them if Hans has 5 rides and Davey has 4. It is an interesting balance. Poole are widely predicted to finish top and the match is a must win for them if they are to establish an early advantage over Belle Vue and the rest. If they fall short of a win it will give some encouragement to the likes of BV. Lakeside are widely predicted to finish bottom two, but if they can see the Pirates off, or at least keep,it close I doubt that any of the others will beat them at home, and they will then have decent prospects of moving up the table. So there is everything to play for. Very difficult one to call because both sides have riders with question marks over their form just now but in paper I would say it's Pooles to lose. What, higher than topping it, you mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy wins for him in NL league as more of a development league. Wouldn't PL have been better for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I have moved 20 metres in45 minutes. I can see the bridge but its complete car park. Just non moving traffic the whole way. Got two hours to go less than 4 miles but I am begining to think I wont make it. Riders could also be caught. Left hand tunnel is closed. Edit. Just moved 5 metres.
