Guest options in May: B.Cook, Douglas, Masters, Becker, Lawson, C.Holder, Pickering, Brennan, Basso, Klindt, Tungate, Harris, Wright & of course Scotty Nicholls! 4 hours ago, AceBelle said: Are these guests on April or may averages ?

This has to be factored in when looking at guests. 5 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: Correct. Our next meeting on Thursday, only Belle Vue not racing. The one after that on Bank Holiday Monday, only Sheffield not racing. Drastically reduces guest options. R/R or a Temporary signing probably the best way to go. There will.always be one team not racing, if you can't get a good guests r/r is always available. Ben Cook at Leicester? Josh Pickering at home to King's Lynn?

Chris is no mug, there is an extremely good chance that he's already pencilled in replacements having browsed the fixtures... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesB 109 Posted April 29 (edited) I think it will probably be r/r for Thursday and Monday as the options look very limited, although maybe B Cook for Thursday. Generally, r/r should be OK for home meetings but more troublesome away. Edited April 29 by JamesB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MP78 21 Posted April 29 (edited) I feel like we can cover R/R at home fairly well... Doyle getting an extra ride is appealing and you could stick him in heat 5 up against the opposition's number 1 perhaps... Away from home, I would definitely prefer to see a guest *EDIT* Posted just after JamesB, but as you can see I agree with him!

siggysigalos 31 Posted April 29 I agree on B.Cook for Thursday, i can see that happening for sure.But i think you will all find that they will be bringing in a Replacement for Danny asap. Probably in for King's Lynn on Bank Holiday Monday, might be wrong. Chris and Ritchie might also be waiting to see if any other team does another Panic decision (Klindt) and see if anybody becomes available, but i'm pretty sure they will replace Danny in the septet. Tough meeting at Leicester this Thursday, and am already looking forward to the drive to support the boys. You never know Chris may already have Danny's replacement already lined up. Roll on Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesB 109 Posted April 30 I know that we have started the season well but from what I have seen so far I am not convinced that this team is as strong as some are making out. Jenkins has been struggling probably through being in the main team, although his lower scoring has been compensated for by Thompson’s impressive start. Can he keep up this start now he is the main team? The greater concern has to be Rew. He was never intended to be in a reserve position which is forcing Jenkins and Thompson into the main team. Rew is the key to success particularly if we are going to be using r/r for a while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starting a point below the limit, they could've gone with Riss or Cook instead, but that's easy to say with hindsight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
