stevebrum 6,821 Posted March 25, 2018 The money issue is nonsense, considering Woffy was coming until he was slapped with a ridiculous reassessed 9 point average. I love how people are trying to write Jacob off after one meeting. Made I titter tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not writing him off Stevebrum, first meeting or not he bottled it every time someone came close, not a good sign for Wolverhampton. We've seen it many many times with rider's coming back from serious injury, they're slow to get back any confidence and form and probably best not to sign for at least 12 months 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've seen it many many times with rider's coming back from serious injury, they're slow to get back any confidence and form and probably best not to sign for at least 12 months It's his first meeting in a fairly good standard line up. I'm sure he will be okay. Either way we have Woffy and Piotr waiting in the wings if it's an issue, using the Poole/Kildemand example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted March 25, 2018 If/when Jacob has a poor start how would it be possible to bring tai in ? Jacob starts on 8.64 ish now we all know that falls to around 8.00ish so how would it be possible to swap him with tai who would be on a 9.00 ? Now if you don't think he's average drops fair enough but just be hypathetical about the scenario ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone gets close he's moving over or shutting off. On a track like Wolves you can't help but be forced into close racing. While it is true Thorssell was poor today you could say the same about a number of riders in today's meeting in Torun, was he testing new equipment, was it a confidence thing, if its the latter the more time on the bike racing the better IMO and he should find it easier to win races in our Premiership. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolves could re declare and bring Woffy in place of Jacob if he struggles and use the points to strengthen at reserve. Woffy would return to his low 7 average, which is no different to what Poole have done to fit Kildemand in. Jacob will have time to prove himself and I think he will be fine anyway.

Thorsell will be fine, he is practically unbeatable at Monmore and was pretty decent away last season. y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly, ditto Hancock, Nicki P, Iversen, Freddie. It's definitely how you bounce back that's true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
