Only in the Premiership, am I right?

My point is they wouldn't have got a 5-1 as Pijper didn't beat Andersen in heat 14.

Suggestions to cover injuries next week (if needed) @ Plymouth Tom Brennan (6.40) for Leon Flint (6.43) Jye Etheridge r/r Zach Cook (4.39) for Ty Proctor (4.92) @ Poole Leon Flint r/r Benjamin Basso (5.69) for Jye Etheridge (5.87) Or if Basso's riding in Denmark Danyon Hume (5.24) for Jye Etheridge (5.87) Dan (4.45) or Joe T (4.29) for Ty Proctor (4.92)

Would've made no difference, if Morris had won heat 14, a 4-2 heat advantage would still have left Berwick 4 points down after heat 14.

I think the opposite, wether he deserves a spot or not, I reckon Woffy would be 90% sure of a wild card if he finishes in the top 12!

I heard Plymouth's facility to replace Atkins has ended, so why have Belle Vue still got a facility to replace JPB?

Pre-season I expected the Colts to win almost everywhere, but so far they've not been good away from home. Hard to know how Leicester will so having no current form to judge them on!

I don't believe anything I read on here, until I see it on an official site

If it's illegal to discriminate against age in "normal" jobs must be in speedway too! Best way to do it, is invite highest averaged riders, regardless of age

Replacing whom?

Very few teams change their riding order once they decided on it. There's no reason why a TM can't move the riding order around based on their opponents. That being said, Bowtell has been scoring well at home, no not really a weak pairing imo

Heat 15 did matter, Witches could've gained 4 points!

Well 1) Brennan must've been fit enough to race based on his score 2) Aces would've won even with Bailey riding!

After 2 matches Basso has a 4.73 ave, current 20 match rolling aves for Andersen is 6.75 & Nicholls 6.56!

Should Aces have given Bailey a shot tonight? I know Brennan is happy to race, but if he's not 100% fit, could give a squad member a go?

If Rowe is ill does he not have to take a 10 day break for a "non speedway injury"? If so, just use Hume & don't announce Rowe is ill! Actually there's no advantage to saying Rowe is ill, just announce / tell Hume you're giving him a shot because you have faith in his ability / form. Would do far more for his confidence than saying "we're only using you because Rowe is ill".

Agree with all your points here!

Glasgow away will be tough for any second string / reserve, as they have no weak links. That said Edwards rode a blinder! But certainly Bowtell should be aiming to score more than 0.

I can only see one change worth making to strengthen the team: replacing Congreave with anyone who can average over 2.00. Can't see any likely signing that will be stronger than using guests for BWD. Certainly no one else in the team should he dropped imo.

With 2 guests for their missing Kiwi's, they'll have a chance!

After his performance at Glasgow, maybe Jason Edwards is the strongest option after all?

The outcome doesn't change the risk. I could run across the motorway blindfolded, if I made it to the other side, would you say there was no risk, over the top example I know. I agree it didn't cost Birmingham, but was a risk.

I think LR clearly made the wrong decision not giving Shanes an extra ride. If he really wanted to give Pearson 4 rides, he still could have put Shanes in heat 12 & said to Pearson "if we have win the match before heat 14, I'll give you your 4th ride". Unnecessary risk in my view leaving Pearson in heat 12 & none of the comments supporting it have changed my mind!

No offence to Jason Edwards, but surely they could have got a better guest at reserve? James Sarjeant seems an obvious one!

As Newcastle are over 3 points below the 42 limit, I don't think signing a new reserve is the answer to avoiding the wooden spoon!
