Know his sister and grandad said wrist and hip before he was taken off in ambulance but not seen any updates today They hit the fence with a right ‘thump’ in front of where us Sheffield fans were standing on back straight, poor Dan sounded in a lot of discomfort before he was seen too by St. John’s and taken off in ambulance. His sister and grandad obviously left to help sort his stuff out before going to hospital, fingers crossed it’s not too bad an injury and he’s back on the bike soon 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jez 4 Posted August 22, 2023 Just seen on Bend2BarmyArmy FB page that Dan Gilkes suffered a broken wrist last night, so looks like a new Rising Star needed, Ace Pjiper, Ashton Boughen, Jason Edwards?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4BM 116 Posted August 22, 2023 See on Facebook that Adam Ellis has recently posted this, don’t know about week off as Sheffield have Leicester away and Wolves at home in next 7 days, unless he’s been told he’s being replaced “One to forget yesterday. Struggle for speed and the second bike blew up on the stand Just not happening at the moment, week off to get things sorted and decide where to go from here.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Ellis has his detractors (am indifferent really) but 4 ducky eggs is not a score expected from him so clearly a bad night! Stead’s demeanour and body language clearly showed he wasn’t happy last night when being interviewed. Tai and Gilkes excepted I suspect they all got a bit of a ‘bollocking’ last night!

Hamish McRaker 601 Posted August 22, 2023 Nobody has mentioned the possibility of Howarth being let go, so far (along with Ellis) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew 125 Posted August 22, 2023 Well it would a shock if Kyle was dropped.He's been with us since 2016,is the team captain and is one of the very few riders on our asset list! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct but sentiment shouldn’t come into it. If you want to win anything you have to make sacrifices and his form has been inconsistent like most others in the team. If his average fits to make the team stronger then he has to be dropped. After all it’s a numbers game and Steady and the Bates know that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easier said than done but they need someone to do the job as a third heat leader, Adam isn’t doing that and neither is Josh they are both up and down with points scoring. Josh, Kyle and Lewi are all solid second strings (or strong reserves) so the reliance on Adam with the way the team was built was massive and unfortunately over last 18 months he’s just not performed consistently 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
