Dandelion 775 Posted June 3, 2017 I agree which is why Ben has to much pressure he going be inconsistent at least he needs somebody who can at least average 3 and rotate the role at the minute if Ben struggles we struggle. Good news about rose but wonder how r/r work with both him and Ludvig on the same average hopefully Steve can have a ride could make the difference. Yep, someone like Jake Knight, imo, would have about a 3 point average... Jake and Ben would battle it out to be the best reserve, and it would get quite competitive, which is what we need down there... I would think that Steve could take a ride, I maybe be wrong, but I think any rider on the same average counts as a rider below, is that makes sense? O.o Not the rider above... Although I may be wrong (I probably am) maybe they well start narrowing it down to their averages to 3/4/5 decimal places, see who has the highest? I dunno... He can only take an R/R ride. Really? Didn't know that, that's a bit stupid, oh well, one ride for Lewis, one ride for Steve, one ride for Ashley and a ride for Josh... And give Ben Connor's fourth ride... Josh'll get 2 laps in the second half... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Diamond 51 Posted June 3, 2017 What rider order would people have i would be tempted give Robert pressure of carrying r/r and have Rose ride with Ashley who could have heat 1 anyway and give Steve heat 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd leave R/R at number 4 personally, but wouldn't be surprised to see R/R at No 2 with Ash switching to No 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Diamond 51 Posted June 3, 2017 I'd leave R/R at number 4 personally, but wouldn't be surprised to see R/R at No 2 with Ash switching to No 4. Its a difficult one with no correct answer i like Ashley and Robert together so it could stay that way. No doubt George will try work out what he thinks will get the most points.

DiamondGlory 58 Posted June 4, 2017 Sheffield away and Edinburgh at home next week. Am I wrong in thinking that we beat Sheffield away 60-30 last season? Edinburgh looks to be a home loss this time around. I hope the reshuffled team proves me wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DiamondGlory 58 Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) yeah... you're wrong Figured it out, it was at Brough in the KOC, we won 62-28. We went to Sheffield 3 times last season. 9 June PL Lost 49-44. 21 July KOC D 45-45. 29 Sep Play Off L 48-42. I just knew we'd hammered them, turns out it was at home. Whoops!

erniew 163 Posted June 5, 2017 I hate criticising riders, after all, they're doing something I can't, but If i was in Connor's shoes and I was struggling with the track (his entry to turn 1 is far too tight) then I would be practicing hard after the meeting to try to sort out the best lines around the 4 turns. Not doing this means you have to question his professionalism, especially if he wishes to improve and try to earn a living out of the sport. i wish him every success, but he has to work harder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard a lot of good thing about his attitude actually, but if I was Connor, I'd be taking a step back, drop down to the NL and start winning races down there again, get his confidence back and come back up when he is ready... He's getting nothing for travelling hundreds of miles and knacking his bikes when he crashes... Which he does a lot... He must be getting bankrupt soon... Or close to it...

diamond@heart 399 Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Maybe I'm bias because I used to live in Plymouth, and they're my second team, but I quite like Boxall Plus, he's only got to be an improvement on Connor, although as I said, I bet he'd come in on his 5 something average...At least Connor turns up week after week and gives 110% which is more than you get with Boxall. With the warmer weather coming, how many meetings will he miss with BBQ injuries. Edited June 5, 2017 by diamond@heart 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Ben will become our source of points from reserve, that's why I'm saying he should be out 'junior' reserve, at 7... And find someone else to be out 'senior' reserve... Where is Ludvig for tomorrow? And I do hope Lewis is fit enough to take his place... Well done Josh, that's what you need, NL time He'll certainly come in higher than a 2.00, which is all we have to play with. I agree with Steve Park tho, even on the of a barge pole he's too close.
