  1. He had a decent meeting but he ended last season pretty poor.
  2. Suspected broken wrist for Fritz. Go with guests or make an early change?
  3. Rob Parker is signed. So the Devils will always have 2 useful reserves with a superb number 1, even if the 2-5 looks suspect.
  4. Thanks. At least this way the guest doesn't ride for a rival club in the same league.
  5. Can a rider guest when he's not in a declared line-up in that league?
  6. Bates seems like a rider who hits a good vein of form and then gets injured.
  7. I think it's fairer to say that there's no home track advantage tonight. R/R probably does slightly strengthen the Heathens and I can't see many points coming the way of the Brummies bottom end, especially Leek & Hay. Heathens to nick it by a couple of points imo.
  8. If they'd have signed him though, what 7 pointer is out there to effectively replace Compton?
  9. Unfortunately that was proved last season.
  10. Bates over Extance probably strengthens them at home but weakens them away. However I doubt there'll be much difference between the two. It's nice to see a like for like change though.
  11. Knight seemed to have enjoyed himself yesterday by his comments on social media.
  12. Resorting to insults then and ignoring everything else I said. Did you see him make a genuine pass? No. How many times was he passed? 4. Is that typical of a rider second in the averages? He wasn't involved in the action like Holder, Starke or BWD. Admittedly he wasn't poor, but I never said he was. 7 from 4 away from a rider who should be averaging 8.00 overall is average because he's hitting his average!
  13. It seems strange to be discussing team changes after an away win! Give them all chance to get used to each other and ride as a team (and perfect the team riding). If BWD rides like that every week then he'll be in for a great season. Lambert looked off the pace but I think his fall last week and on the first bend of the first race today affected him. So give him time and he'll be back. Hansen looked abysmal but he was always going to be like that away. Holder, Starke and Bacon were also all impressive in their own ways. The one I'd be concerned about is Ostergaard as he ended last season poor and seemed average today. Imo he should be the one stepping up to number 1 in the short-term whilst Holder gets upto speed with the EOES, but I can't see that happening.
  14. So Aaron Baseby was there practising too. But on a 6.58 average, if he came into the side it'd mean another change.
  15. When he couldn't ride for the Warriors, it was said that he wouldn't ride at all but I guess time will tell.
  16. It's fine. Morrish is insisting on using his 4.14 from about 2006ish when he rode for Sittingbourne. Despite him being declared as a 3.00 at Bournemouth in 2010 and 3 riders all being given 3.50 reassessments last season when they'd been out of racing for a similar length of time to Cook.
  17. Campos scored 9 from 4 which is technically a 9.00 average yet Hughes is on 8.67 (which will be weighted higher in home meetings than away meetings anyway). So Campos out scored what you would statistically have expected Hughes to get. Also thinking about the opposition, would Hughes really have won half his races, to outscore Campos, when facing Ayres then Greenwood, then Perry and then Ayres and Perry!?
  18. He's not riding for the Warriors unfortunately.
  19. It'll be a kick in the teeth if you're right.
