Seconded!!! Ps. The English riders did well, but the English team were just not as good as the Aussies, Poles and Swedes. England should be proud of what England achieved, even though England ultimately failed... oh well, maybe a Brittish team will do better next year.

No it wasn't... but you are a Gers fan, so your lack of tactical nous is excused

Jasper, I am not talking about being burnt out after one meeting. This is a well known concept that 'long term' affects all sportsmen. How many promising young footballers have been simply flung into the big time and because they shouldn have been nurtured a little more ended up with no moral and subsequently flunked... I will tell you, Loads! Speedway is not a big sport like football, there are not the hundreds... thousands of hopefulls who will vie for the few top places. For that reason, it is important to make sure that when you do fling them up a level, you do it gradually in order that they can grow with the experience rather than suffer from it. King and Woofy obviously got a lot from Monday (and deservedly so, they were superb), but why push it to demands from them both by keeping them in tonight... once is an experience, twice... or even more, is starting to demand from them and in my opinion maybe just a little too much too soon. Hell, let them enjoy their success for a little before putting huge pressures on them! I stand by my asertations that the balance was to extreme towards the youth side.

Well done to the lads, absolutely brilliant effort guy's. The only criticism I have is of Rob Lyons. In my opinion, he is short sighted and not a particularly good manager not to have recognised that an away meeting in Lesno requires some balance of experience with youth. I absolutely agree with Lyons that to input some youth to the mix is good and indeed, it payed off at Peterborough on Monday night, but to ask so much of both Woofy and King was simply a lack of understanding of how to motivate young up and coming stars so that you don't end up burning them out. This is the same in any sport, football, tennis, rugby etc. I said before that if Scotty Nicholls or Edward Kennett had been brought in for their experience, then this was the way forward... I think the decision that Lyons should have made was either Scott or Eddie in for Either Woofy or Danny... ...End of!

I agree, that is probabbly the team. But if it is not this, I wonder if we might even see Woofy replaced with Kennett, purely for experience factor particularly away from home?
