ThinBlueWitch 21 Posted June 1, 2023 I think it’s time Joe is dropped. Not just for the team but it cannot be good for his confidence and development being thrown so far out of his depth. we need a RS change and time to drop King. Is Pickering worth a punt and able to fit in the team? Riding with Doyle may help him recapture his form from last year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbend 53 Posted June 1, 2023 Witches management need to take action fast. Bring back Riss so we can use his average. Get rid of King and Riss. Giving us 12.93 to play with. Bring in Lindgren and possibly Castagna. Change the RS for anyone preferably Kemp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about 12.93,,,unless that's what we would have to play with to get back to or under 39,,, you can't just pick 2 riders and add their average together,,, can't have Lindgren unless one of Doyle or Emil left,, as only allowed 2 riders from Polish top league in a team.

szkocjasid 3,045 Posted June 1, 2023 Gotta say that was a bad defeat for Witches, against one if their play-off rivals is a 6 point swing (including bonus point). Certainly think their first strengthening should be a new RS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if Kemp was only available for 28 days I'd still sign him up. Could just say to Joe you're resting him for a month to work on his form in the Champ & NL, with a view to coming back in a month? He's hardly in a position to argue he's scoring enough points to warrant keeping his team spot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have to snap him up before Belle Vue swoop in! Signing him will also help Danyon who has been taking so many rides of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not as good as Connor Bailey who scored 10+1 including 2 race wins, 1 paid win, on the rising stars list and available. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mentioned Bailey b4 as an option, he started the season slow but seems to be scoring well of late Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin bass 249 Posted June 3, 2023 On the subject of Bailey it was mentioned on the Scunthorpe v Redcar thread would he want to do a 4th league as he's already riding NDL, Premier plus rides over in Poland in U24 league, you would of thought as he rides alongside King, Hume and Riss when he's fit for Redcar one of um would of had a word with him or put his name forward to Louis as an option at RS.

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted June 3, 2023 Watching the SGP2 last night , CL mentioned he didn't know half the riders .... Why? But yeah Bailey would be ideal, also thought Albitt did well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah Bailey would be ideal, also thought Albitt did well I'm surprised that CL didn't know half the riders, that's a worry in itself, if CL doesn't know half the riders, then RH is going to know even less than half of that half lol Anders Rowe is what the Witches need at 7 I think with the likes of Doyle, Emil in the side it will bring him on leaps and bounds and IF he gets anywhere near showing his TRUPotential then he has shown in the past he can score points in the main body, so having him at 7 would be the best option but that's only in my opinion I'd change the RS first, have a meeting or two then if things are still iffy and Riss is nowhere near back within the 28 day period that Barker has come in to cover, I would have to take a look at a permanent signing, I think I am right but maybe wrong if that change had to happen now and Witches had to redeclare and be under 39 points then currently the side is 38.30 and Barker is 4.38, so gives Witches a total of 5.08 to play with to replace Riss as you can't replace Riss on a 6.14 as you'd be over the limit 5.08 riders.... Hans Andersen 4.96 Ben Barker 4.38 Cameron Heeps 4.18 Paul Starke 3.53 Craig Cook 5.05 Connor Mountain 4.51 Foreign Rider on a 5.00 which is unlikely For me Doyle, Rew, Emil, Riss, King, Hume, Rowe is best or Doyle, Rew, Emil, Cook, King, Hume, Rowe I know Danyon has done incredibly well at times this season but if he has these arm pump issues and can't do 5/6/7 rides then maybe there will come a time when they may look at that, in that last side you could have Cook & Barker in with Riss & Hume out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
