  1. Bit like all the brits in the Poole teams over the last five or so years, only had them at reserve because it was a rule.
  2. The team should start around Cam, Nathan & Danyon but Please no Kyle Newman as he is one that keeps giving us MR INJURY & MR RR. Too many crashes over the years and locks up too much at Foxhall.
  3. Ipswich should get shot of Stephen Foster after he interviewed Nathan before heat 13 last night. Nathan looked like he had got his head clear again and was riding better after the heat 6 crash. Then he gets interviewed by Foster and the prize idiot asks him about the crash, what happens next he goes through the tapes in heat 14. Yes the record books will show that Peterborough won the KOC but it shows why they didn't make the playoffs as they only beat a team comprising 2 heatleaders, 1 second string and 2 reserves over 2 legs by 4 points after we lost Rory & Danny after 1 race of each leg. The Ipswich team can hold their heads high for the way they kept on battling.
  4. We had up to 9.01 to replace Rory and go with Ty Proctor on 7.38. Should've gone for Nick Morris 8.72, Richie Worrall 8.58 or Richard Lawson 8.62. Ty Proctor has scored 7+1 from 5 rides and 8 from 5 rides in the two meetings this year, need a bit more tonight if we stand a chance.
  5. Looking at the official averages there really isn't a lot of choice for a replacement for Connor. Apart from Sarj, Josh Bailey looked the next best. Is James Shanes' Premiership average too high now to replace Connor?
  6. We certainly like doing things the hard way. Lets hope that's Danny's poor meeting out of the way and he's back to all guns blazing for the final. Well done Rory and to the reserves on their contribution.
  7. Except in the last GP when Zmarzlik did exactly the same thing. Ref made a brave & correct decision. Just because you missed the start you can't go turning into someone in the hope of a rerun with all four back. I think they wanted to hit Edinburgh hard from the start knowing they couldn't use the TR so didn't matter if they went more points up. Backfired a bit with a good ride from Erik Riss to get a 3-3.
  8. They did mention that, just not your one at Foxhall. I'm just glad none can be used in the playoffs.
  9. No mention of the TR on the Edinburgh report which helped them win at Foxhall. I think a lot of fans are happy that there are no TR in the playoffs.
  10. Are Wolves really going to release 4 of their riders for the meeting at Somerset. It doesn't matter to Somerset as only Cam from the two teams rides for them and he is currently injured. If Edinburgh are at full strength then I hope Ipswich will be or it will be a total farce. Would be nice to get some clarification from the Witches camp what the line up at Edinburgh will be.
  11. So if Cam is ruled out of the play-offs we should go with RR for him and get a guest for Justin, as Justin drops to fifth in the averages on 6.17. Going with RR for Cam allows Rory to have an extra ride. Looking at the averages two riders stick out as potential guests Jake Allen 6.08 or David Howe 6.17. Other options are Ryan Douglas on 6.08 or Bradley Wilson-Dean on 6.00 but not sure how fit he is at the moment. IMO one of the first two would do a decent job. Cam should only come back if he is fully fit as we can't afford to carry riders if we are using RR.
  12. They add 5% onto the riders average when using a guest at home, but not away. Cam's average is 6.93 but at home they can use a guest up to 7.28. Lewis' average is 6.95 so they wouldn't be able to use him away as his average is more than Cam's.
  13. Go back to 6 rider teams & 16 heats. That's 18 less riders needed.
  14. Probably been in his spank bank thinking about Jack Holder.
  15. If as he states that his shoulder hasn't been right since the early season crashes why didn't he get it sorted earlier. Why has it only been brought up in the last week if it has been going on for so long. As proved on Thursday he is a danger to the other riders as he can't handle a speedway bike at the moment and shouldn't be riding.
  16. The rerun of heat 1 was a bigger jump than the original start. We were all surprised it wasn't stopped and Bomber Excluded. Have to agree that it did seem to be the rider in white jumping all the time. Surprised more weren't called back.
  17. After the meeting last night Danny did a few laps on Sedgmen's bike and it didn't look fast and sounded a bit flat. If Sedgmen can't handle riding the outside line with his shoulder he shouldn't ride at all as he is a danger to the other riders. We can't afford to carry him in the playoff as it is an existing injury if he pulls out during a meeting we won't get the injury rider replacement option. I would rather go RR as both reserves are doing a decent job at the moment. As I've said before if they are beating the oppositions reserves they are doing their job. Connor is improving and looks a lot more smoother in his riding & Nathan never gives up which is all that the fans want from their team.
  18. The only good thing out of this is Peterborough won't win the fours tomorrow. If Ged has taken a payment from Torun, it proves he is only thinking about his own pocket and if he is still promoter at Peterborough next year the fours should be moved to another track who's promoter cares about these shared events. What he has done has already affected the crowd level by what some fans comments on this forum are saying, which affects the payments to all the other clubs in the Championship and he is getting reimbursed by the Poles.
  19. After we lost Kyle in heat 1 I thought we would struggle to win, but credit to the rest of the team they battled to secure the win and stop Glasgow taking anything from the meeting. Both reserves done their job again, as long as they beat their fellow reserves to me they are doing their job. Thought Nathan should've got MOTM. Lets hope Kyle isn't out for too long as he was one of our form riders at the moment. Off to Peterborough Sunday, can't see us winning it but who knows after Plymouth's win last year, as long as Peterborough don't win it.
  20. Agree Sedgmen should be moved to number 2. Not looking forward to this meeting with what's gone on, we could get absolutely smashed. Lets hope not as we can't afford anymore dropped points at home after last week.
  21. But you can change 1 rider like for like, but not 2 how is that simple. You build your team average up and have to lower it to bring two riders in, only in speedway.
  22. Maybe it was Wilkinson & Jacobs 5.12 & 4.67 = 9.79 Sedgmen 6.69 & Mountain 3.18 = 9.87 As I said why you can't replace riders up to the averages of the riders being replaced doesn't make sense, but why make the rules simple.
