Of course they will lose away but over two legs I cannot see anyone beating them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of character for Steve, his head really did explode in ht15 when there was no need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazc 7,098 Posted July 30, 2023 3 minutes ago, MD said: Had Havelock reserve switched Newman for Roynon in ht14 and given Roynon either one of ht6 or ht9 for Newman to help get rid of his third ride, it would have been easier for Poole to pick up third place in ht14. Why he didn't is inexplicable. Having been in total command at ht10 with the TS dispensed and being 10 points ahead, the dreaded regrade handed the ascendency back to Poole who won four of the last five heats. I'm still lost why we do it when it isn't advantageous to us or why it has to be fixed to ht10. If we must have it, it should be when it benefits us. We never seem to learn our lesson happens most weeks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 30, 2023 I am sure the Fords won’t make any hasty decisions. First job is to see if Roynons lawnmower can be turned into a speedway bike. But considering we were ten down and to come back so well shows the team is still fighting hard. Well done to the Tigers tonight on the points. The playoffs are going to be fun this season. Four teams in with a shout of the title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The obvious time to give Roynon his 3rd ride was heat 9 against the Basso / Vissing pairing imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think the team needs any changes, Adam is never going to score many but he should have a bike that lasts four laps and should be quick enough to beat the likes of Coles. He needs to get his machinery sorted then he will be fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But would they pair them together if that was the case? I don't imagine Middlo would let any riders dictate to him where they race in the team. I'm pretty sure he'd tell them to "buck up" and race where they are told! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
