bloom89 496 Posted June 27, 2019 I think in a way as daft as this sounds we have to praise the promotion for going down a totally different route regarding team building obviously the team was going to be different until circumstances changed before the season started. Most fans wanted wholesale changes which we got and fans still aren’t happy? Why would you bring Lindgren back when the majority wanted rid of him last season? It was a risk signing TJ and Bjerre and unfortunately so far it hasn’t paid off. But I actually don’t think we are far off being a good team. I can’t really see many changes being made.

Some fans are never happy. As with previous years, we are near, but not quite there as a team, perhaps one rider away from being a good side (who that rider is though is anyone's guess!). High 30's+ on the road at the majority of tracks, a couple of early home defeats as riders got used to new surroundings and beaten by the best team in the league at home. I think we are in a false league position. Plus we have a Semi-Final of the KOC to look forward to against a team we seem to do well against on their track.

IF it goes up to 40 (not sure about that, but no doubt someone will know!) we have 2.03 on the July averages (see my post earlier on this page - I wish the posts were numbered like they used to be!!!). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither can I. Unfortunately. Bjerre was a big risk with his previous dodgy attitude. Which by the way has not changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His dodgy attitude was primarily with his fellow team mates (Redcar, Sheffield). i've yet to see any of that this year. In fact the very opposite. He's lost points trying to help his partner this season, without any real tantrums. He's not the first rider, or likely to be the last, to appear to give up when last. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but the good ones pop a few 'wheelies', to keep some folk entertained Not just looking down and pretending they've got machinery issues Edited June 28, 2019 by ruffdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if we're one rider away, why don't we be a bit ambitious for once and have a gamble... We're clearly carrying too much now, and if we do nothing, the season will be over VERY soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
