Walking along singing a song walking in a Pirates wonderland

What other heat would you have given him Gav? I’m assuming by saying it should have been 7 and 3 rides so you’re taking out Flint for Pawlicki? That was done in heat 12. You could look at heat 4 and say there’s an opportunity, but only three heats had gone and Birmingham were 12-6 up. Would you take Flint out of his second ride that early in the meeting? You also have to factor in that Pawlicki wasn’t expected to be in heat three but was brought in when Cook went through the tapes. I’m not sure giving Pawlicki three on the trot and three of his potential seven rides by heat 4 would have been wise with nearly 3 quarters of the meeting still to run. He couldn’t replace Flint in heat 8, leaving his next opportunity in heat 12, which the manager took. Pawlicki had four programmed rides, a fifth replacing the excluded Cook, a sixth was to be a rider replacement ride and a seventh was to be a reserve replacement for Flint that was taken in heat 12. If Pawlicki hadn’t have been replaced in 14 then it would have been exactly as you said, a 7 and 3 rides for Pawlicki and Flint respectively. Now the whole issue here is Pawlicki being withdrawn for Flint in 14. Had Pawlicki won the previous heat then you might think he’d have taken his last programmed ride. But he seemed to have tailed off as the meeting progressed and had just done 3 on the bounce, so a conversation between manager and rider must have taken place and a decision then made based on that. Was it fatigue? Machinery? None of us know the answer but you can bet there’ll be one. I don’t see the issue here it’s no biggie from where I’m standing but we all have different opinions. -

Preview for the second leg where Witches hold a slim advantage on home soil. -
Doyle out for the season then. Who can the Ipswich management persuade to come over for the 2nd half of the season?

Shouldn't have got to that situation....big balls-up by TM's! B'ham were lucky that Scott blew his engine in his first ride, otherwise this would have been a walk-over! Fair play to Sedgemen....I've not supported his signing due to last season's poor home displays...but he seems to have hit a purple patch! Don't understand why the the track wasn't prepared to the same standard as the previous 2 Home meetings? No wonder there was some below par performances....no consistency!
