The kangaroo is here to stay haha I'd never get angry at someone for having an opinion on someone I'll just put forward my opinion too Also, on a side note this "NEWCASTLE – "It's a situation we have to rectify as soon as possible." Boss George English bemoans a lack of sparkle from the Diamonds on the road this season." was on the round up thingy on the Speedway GB website, could that mean more changes ahead? Or will George just get more angry in team meetings? I wonder... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Max 216 Posted June 13, 2017 agree but would still do a job in the lower league,robbo for ludde and liam carr for hopwood I guess you are using Rathbone's calculator to replace a 2.00 rider with a 3.00 rider ? Yes And damn... A lot has happened while I've been gone Think Greenwood is a good option tbh, mentioned him in the past only for people to take the p*ss Won't be much better, but he can't be any worse, and he has a little more experience, so maybe he will stop on occasionally!! Good luck Connor for the rest of the year, maybe you can come back in a few years when you're ready As for Ludvig... Everyone knows my opinion on him, but if for some reason we HAD to replace him... Rene Bach please... Robbo and Kus would be good options, but Rene even better... Out of the three the only one allowed is Robbo, so keep on drooling, sorry dreaming!!

Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted June 13, 2017 I'll keep this brief. To my mind, for different reasons none of Robson Kus or Ostergaard would improve the team if Lindgren were - God forbid! - to go. Let's see how we go with Greenwood and Hopwood. I like Hopwood, he has the makings of a very decent rider I see Greenwood averages 7.70 in the NL which isn't too shabby.

Let's see how we go with Greenwood and Hopwood. I like Hopwood, he has the makings of a very decent rider I see Greenwood averages 7.70 in the NL which isn't too shabby. I think the only name that would improve the team would be Rene (yes, this is me saying that Rene would be better than Ludvig) but I would still prefer Ludvig over Rene... I would hate to see Ludvig go, he'd be the last out of the 7 riders I'd chose, being our team captain and for how long he's stuck by our club for... I think Greenwood and Hopwood will do at reserve, if both can score at least 2 a meeting, they've done their job... I think that our 1-5 justifies that... Just with Connor scoring nothing most of the time, it wasn't doing the team or him any good at al... The only other rider I would think would do well who I KNOW would be on a 2.00 average would be Nathan Stoneman, he's been very solid for Kent so far this year... So if Dan doesn't work out, or god forbid either of our reserves get injured or retire (as a lot of young 2.00 riders seem to be doing as their confidence gets knocked) Nathan would be a good shout... I guess you are using Rathbone's calculator to replace a 2.00 rider with a 3.00 rider ? Out of the three the only one allowed is Robbo, so keep on drooling, sorry dreaming!! Out of the four (Ludvig, Rene, Kus and Robbo) Ludvig would be the one I'd prefer to have in my team... So I've got no problems and I don't need to keep dreaming Just a passing comment as everyone seems to want Ludvig out...??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondGlory 58 Posted June 13, 2017 If anyone was curious, Connor top scored for IOW tonight, with 11 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted June 14, 2017 If anyone was curious, Connor top scored for IOW tonight, with 11 points. He'll go on an unbeaten run now, including guesting for CL and PL clubs... Maximums all around 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted June 14, 2017 If anyone was curious, Connor top scored for IOW tonight, with 11 points. gotta earn some corn somewhere, as it seems he's running out of places to do it,,, hope it works out for him. was Dan brought in unexpeftedly last time, after a 'cheeky' move to bring in Robert Lambert on a 3.00 (albeit probly within the rules) was blocked by the BSPA ???,,, maybe it'll be better this time round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Accident waiting to happen. He has the brain of a hard top rider but lacks the skill set required to complete half the time and a step up a league would see him out foxed by more experienced guys and straight onto the injury list. Big miss was not securing a deal to get Bacon from P'Boro he looked sublime at Kent the other night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben might soon have a 3.00 ave. so if the lads try and gift him points, maybe by team-riding and stuff, once he has a 3.00 they could shaft him and try and get Carr... might sound harsh, but no room for sentiment 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
