ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) So looks like changes are on the horizon. Judging by the fact the manager is discussing team plans with Morris & Batchelor, my guess Musielak, Bellego & Smith could be goners. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/16358050.team-changes-nigh-at-swindon-robins-following-heavy-defeat-against-wolverhampton/ http://www.swindonrobins.co/_mobile/news.php?extend.3139.1 Edited July 16, 2018 by ReadingRacer2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seen that, think his average would convert down to 2.17 (if it’s 60% of his chanpionship average). Would give 5 to replace Bellego as I don’t think we can use RR with so many matches coming up.

DC2 11,150 Posted July 17, 2018 There’s no way we should drop anyone, other than perhaps Jack Smith as he is not an asset and has not performed well enough. The only thing we need to do is replace Bellego if he will be out for injury for longer than we can manage. We should stick by all the other riders and show some loyalty, regardless of how that affects our chances of winning the title this year. I do not want to adopt Poole’s approach of buying the title with mercenary journeymen who have no connection with Swindon. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think those are the only changes we will make, we've lots of matches coming up so IF Bellego is out injured I don't think we can carry RR. A 28 day replacement would be a better options IMO. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can only redeclare or change individual riders with another with a lower average. Edited July 17, 2018 by Steve Shovlar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might that be this week’s change? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 17, 2018 I don’t want Tobi to be replaced & would look at a 28 day replacement for David & see if we can squeeze Conor in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
