I am aware of that - but I could only find one other home Birmingham meeting in which he rode in 2022 (which ended after heat 10, so Josh only had 3 rides). I was querying why he was being called “dreadful” on the back of such limited activity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the hobbit 153 Posted May 10, 2023 Can’t remember but it was enough to see that he looked like he was way out of his depth and was struggling badly so much so that he’d struggle even at reserve on that form so, as I said, I’m not at all surprised he hadn’t got a team place he came to one of our mid season meetings and was interviewed in the interval in which he said he was hoping to “ be back soon”. Most fans really hoped that didn’t happen as the guests were scoring far more than Josh had been doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most fans really hoped that didn’t happen as the guests were scoring far more than Josh had been doing For a variety of reasons, many not his fault but bad luck and fate, a massively unfulfilled talent. However he can walk relatively speaking in to retirement, and hopefully he won't come back and risk his long term well being.
