Laobob 19 Posted February 3, 2023 No mention of Drew in either this section or the Championship. With few riders to be declared has he missed out on a team spot for either League? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deano 1,318 Posted February 3, 2023 This is why I have a dislike for doubling up. Fans lose out of some talent and get overdosed with other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haza 1,774 Posted February 4, 2023 In my opinion he thinks he’s far better than he actually is - hopefully the talent he had will win through in the end 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The issue is whether they have the work ethic or do they just want things to fall in their laps without effort? Has he believed his own hype & gained a stinker of an ego? Got to say that I haven't seen this "talent" people talk about. He certainly isn't up there with Woffinden, Lambert, Bewley at a young age. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biggest problem total lack of aggression,you have to admire anyone who sits astride a speedway bike,but unfortunately for Drew whether it's a lack of confidence or a unwillingness to dice with the opposition who knows. Adams gave him opportunities of an extra ride when the result was safe and the pressure was off,but for what ever the reason he always failed to deliver the goods.Good luck to the guy in future,but if he wants to progress in the sport his outlook will have to change.
