Should definitely not have Lahti at 5 but we are going to thrashed anyway so probably doesn't matter.

Hope he rides like that for us tomorrow.

Timo at 5 is stupid haven't they learn't anything, just because he won heat 13 at Swindon doesn't make it the right thing to do.

No that is the problem, when announced Worrall for Kurtz i thought oh dear he is nowhere near the ability but he has been very good and currently our best rider, if there was a way we could keep we would i am sure, a shame the way things have worked out, if we had got Kennett as a injury replacement for Kurtz and got worrall for KK i am sure we would be a lot stronger but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Thanks for the info, yes it would help if a couple of our current line up could perform better!

But when several posters seem to have a very similar style then you are bound to come to the conclusion they are the same personAs we haven't heard anything, is it safe to assume there haven't been any last minute changes to the team. The last i heard was that it was unlikely there would be further changes to the current team but i haven't heard that is definate.

Matt Ford dropped him before his average dropped so we could get a reasonable rider the problem is nobody reasonable was available so we got Kennett, knowing that his average was going to drop bit of a strange decision as at least KK has the ability to get a decent score! So he should have kept and re-jigged the team to the 42 point limit wirh him in it on a 5.5 average so another mistake. or KKS or any of his other aliases!

Even at 5.51 would be higher than Lahti and I don't think the rules allow you to bring back a sacked rider.

Swap Gomolski for Kennett and Jacobsen is 6.50 divided by 1.2 for a 5.42 average to swap with Lahti but I don't think we will replace Lahti as Matt Ford said he was showing signs of improvement.

I would think we could get Gomolski as a straight swap for Kennett and maybe Nicolai B Jacobsen for Lahti maybe worth a go.

Oh right think I was confused with Krystian Piescek.

I looked Krystian Plech up and he is a rider.

I don't know if it is possible as Ritchie Worrall was an injury replacement but I would keep him and this would be my team. Brady Kurtz 8.76 Hans Andersen 8.35 Ritchie Worrall 7.26 Jack holder 6.20 Paul Starke 5.31 Jan Graversen 3.44 James Shanes 2.55

Is he any good? Don't know much about him.

Over zealous security has always been a problem at Swindon.

I think Ritchie Worrall should be considered at Wolves, really rode well there for Poole.

Absolutely correct, dumping Lewis Kerr was a bad start when riding well, dumping Kyle Newman, a rider who loves the club, lives here and always rides with his heart on his sleeve was a terrible decision and dumping KK hasn't exactly worked either, I think most would agree with dumping KK but Kennett really! no point in changing a rider for the sake of it, if no one else of reasonable ability was available couldn't we replace KK with Ritchie Worrall when Brady returns, Ritchie is riding pretty well. I know hindsight is wonderful but Matt ford messed up.

It isn't worth a go no point.

Apart from the fact Jacobs is not good enough, the only track he can ride is Belle Vue.

6.5 divided by 1.2.

Not to say Matt Ford hasn't made mistakes because I think he has made one or two hasty decisions like Lewis Kerr and Kyle Newman but the team isn't bad just performing well below its capabilities. I fully understand his feelings though, he has poured a lot of money in to getting riders and building a good team. The trouble with Ritchie Worrall is he is now our best rider and due to get dumped!

Nothing to do with hindsight a few said it was a mistake to put him at 5, I said it was like a lamb to the slaughter and it was. The Dane in question is Kildermand I believe.

Timo Lahti has been a let down, came in seemingly on good form, now terrible form only scored 1 in Sweden Tuesday and isn't anywhere near what we need. Jack Holder has taken a dip in form too and now Hans goes backwards when needed. No idea how we can turn it around. Could get Nicolai Busk Jacobsen who has just signed for Berwick for Lahti. No idea what else we could do.

Don't see how Woffinden can replace Kennett when Kennett has a lower average.

I agree we are not good enough, the home riders were having more trouble with the track when it was bumpy than the away riders so it wasn't giving us home advantage at all. all riders want a smooth track, taken a long time for Matt Ford to realise that.

Does look like a lamb to the slaughter, he only scored one point last night.
