Anzum 250 Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Morris has had bad crash at Peterborough. Was knocked out but now conscious. Being put in a neck brace. He is on his feet though. Edited June 23, 2017 by Anzum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,963 Posted June 23, 2017 If he was knocked out that's almost certainly our top 2 out next Thursday against Wolves....I dread to imagine the outcome and the crowd figures for that think I'll bear Eastenders instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anzum 250 Posted June 23, 2017 Batch or Hans will come to the rescue if Doyle doesn't ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted June 23, 2017 Batch or Hans will come to the rescue if Doyle doesn't ride. That's a pretty cr@p deal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Batch or Hans will come to the rescue if Doyle doesn't ride. If Nick injured or just had concussion not sure if we can have a guest for 2-5 rider or if it has to be r/r for him. Adam Ellis scored 3,1,3,2 9+1 as reserve for Somerset tonight.

Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted June 23, 2017 Adam fastest time of the night too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anzum 250 Posted June 23, 2017 Updates say Nick has concussion. I know that is bad enough but hopefully nothing broken. Adam has had a good night as well as scoring 9+1 . He has his own thread on the championship part of the BSF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,971 Posted June 24, 2017 There was a time when we didn't use our other asset who almost won the world championships last season.... Yes & that was a ridiculous decision as well. We couldn't use Steve as you picked before us in the draft. Everyman and his dog had him down for Belle Vue. We most definitely wanted him, in fact we purchased the Worrall's to protect against losing out again. You could've protected him but didn't & he only signed for Belle Vue the season after he rode for Swindon I think?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,963 Posted June 24, 2017 Not the best of weeks Doyley and now Nick getting injured and losing out on Rohan...from expecting to see those 3 lead us out against Wolves almost certain none of them will! Arrgghhh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,200 Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Yes & that was a ridiculous decision as well.  You could've protected him but didn't & he only signed for Belle Vue the season after he rode for Swindon I think?. You're right we could protect all our juniors including Steve by signing them up at 16 but it's not something we generally do. We signed Steve as an asset at beginning of the 2014 season after getting our fingers burned on the draft.  http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/11361398.Worrall_s_future_is_looking_Ace/?commentSort=score  We should have done the same with Stefan, it was assumed by all including Stef that he'd be back but Rossco stepped in again. I think he taps our phones. Lol. Edited June 24, 2017 by ouch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny as now Steve regularly beats Richie & is probably the biggest success of the draft system.  Richie not being allowed to do it has held him back & Steve is certainly better than him now.

ouch 1,200 Posted June 24, 2017 I alway thought it odd how two literally identical riders could be treated so differently by the system. Richie has been shafted this year by the horrible anomalies of the average system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Have no idea about injury replacement riders rules, as it seems that Nick is likely to be unavailable for our meeting with Wolves through concussion. If a replacement is an option we could have Batch, Craig Cook or Hans, in fact any rider apart from Lindgren, not a bad choice.

Tommy Sweetman 480 Posted June 24, 2017 Not sure about rules,but if Doyle is fit to ride,would have thought r/r applies.But obviously Morris would be a much bigger loss than Howarth would be for Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would think guest like Batch would score far more than r/r as those apart from Jason still need to up their game. Against Wolves we need all the fire power we can get. If it was Poole we could get away with r/r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
