But he's not, he's simply saying that he doesn't find Scunny a good racetrack.
Personally I think Belle Vue is way ahead of anything we have in the UK for racing, although Scunny has usually been excellent when I have been bar a couple of poor ones. But every track has those.
Apart from Matt Williamson there isn't really anyone any better than Josh on paper out there who fits. For me being below the points limit matters little as long as you have sufficient improvement in the 1-7.
Bailey is a home grown club asset, I don't see Lynn replacing him so early in the season and nor should they. In any case Hume rides for Brum on Wednesdays.
I agree about home advantage, over the years top racetracks like Somerset, Scunny and P'boro have all provided good home advantage when the home teams have been strong. As the season progresses this team will get better and better, particularly at home.
Just important to get off the mark tonight, any kind of win will do. There are no trophies handed out for tonking teams in April. This is a potential banana skin with Somerset likely to be right at home in their big, fast surroundings this evening.
