Zengota supported Coventry in the 2014 semi between Bees & Robins (judging by his tweets) He is fond of both clubs. However it would depend on if he got average wise and money. As for Bjarne, he wouldn't be a rider I would rush out for. His UK form is usually shocking.

Would mean replacing a few riders. Which riders are Poole apparently getting rid of then as even after last night, they are still already over the limit? Personally think Zengi will end up at Swindon Rumours he's Poole bound. I make it only 7.46 points as Bates gets his average on 27th and KK for some reason is on an assessed average.

Good to see Garrity get another good score of 9points and his 3rd heat 15 already this season. He was very up and down last night. Looked very underpower & struggledin the race with reserves that you would expect him to win but then looked fast in harder ones and beat the same reserves plus Andersen and Buzz. He needs to get those bikes sorted though as has problems with them most meetings and has to borrow one.

Still can't believe we beat Poole last night 😄 It was amazing comeback from the team who really stepped up in the last half of the meeting. However questions still have to be asked about this team as the first half was one of the worst I have seen a bees team ride in a while. Really bad away from home too. We need a strong signing to replace Kacper so that King becomes a 2nd string as he is really struggling as a heatleader. Would love Zengota but would he come over.

Sarjeant is confusing. He can struggle all night but then comes out in every heat 12 and wins with ease, even against strong pairings like Poole & Leicester. Wish he could ride like that all meeting & away from home.

Harris also had problems with his bike in heat 15 so bad luck for both. Hans is making lots of excuses as to why they dropped the lead, saying they had lots of bad luck. Where? *They were granted a facility for Holder when they shouldn't have been as this fixture was in place first. They then use a inform guest for one who's struggled esp at Brandon- Lucky Freddie's "engine failure" was because he didn't put in enough fuel. That's not bad luck, that's rider error *Bates excluded after having his wheel taken in heat 4, first bend - unlucky for bees, lucky for Poole *Their duo jumped the start by a lot in heat 1 and most people thought it would be called back (including bees riders) but it's wasn't. - lucky *Bates had bike problems most of the night meaning he broke down or broke tapes, not getting it sorted till heat 14 - unlucky for bees not Poole. *Both Lindgren & Harris had problems in heat 15 I think instead of making excuses Middlo & Hans need to take a long look at what went wrong. We rode terrible in the first half and looked like we were heading for a huge defeat. Poole let a huge lead go and looked terrible in the second half against a team that aren't the strongest in the league and had to use reserves in most races, scoring 4 from RR rides. Add to that our number one had a off night. On paper Poole look to have no weaknesses but away from home On track it's a different story.

Completely agree. Get on the phone to Zengota, Neil Watson

Coventry only got 4pts from RR. Hopefully they will make a strong signing for Kacper. Need King as a 2nd string not heatleader

Sarjeant really confuses me. He has had some poor races but yet has come out and won every heat 12 at home.

WOW what happened! Up until heat 9 we were dreadful (with the exception of Bomber) it looked like we couldn't even buy a win. WHAT A COMEBACK 🐝🐝🐝 To win when our number 1 had a very poor night as well and we struggled for half a meeting is amazing. Lindgren was a good guest and scored 8 so he can't be blamed for Poole's loss. Watt on the other hand, he might be best sticking to golf ⛳️ Changes are still needed for the team though. We were still poor for half the meeting, Poole were just even worse in the second half

Why?

Terrible crowd tonight but can see why. Congratulations to Harris on getting the fastest time of the season This has got to be one of the worst Coventry teams I have seen in a while. The ref is having a shocker especially in heat 1 when most people thought it was called back when the Poole duo jumped the gate by a mile. So far it has mainly been Poole V Harris! Can't see it getting any better. Huge changes needed!

Think you need to read back through my posts. Where have I ever said that we weren't rubbish or that we were good? I have been one of the first to say we will be thrashed, just now it will be even more one sided. Some spots of rain and the sky is very dark. Met office has no rain forecast though & weather channel has 40% chance of rain.

I noticed, thanks, but not everybody looks at those threads. He is a huge favourite with bees fans. Such terrible news

Shocking news that former bee Kenni Larsen has been shot in the head and placed in a coma. Devastated and praying he pulls through 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I remember there being a draft pick last year so if you picked the strongest rider in tier 1 then you got last pick of tier 2. Isn't that correct? This year teams can have best of both drafts whilst others have 2 low ones

That's unlucky for Brady but a bit lucky for Pirates as Makes Poole even stronger

Holder has been poor this week and is inconsistent at Brandon, whilst Lindgren is riding well and scored well there only a few weeks ago so strengthens Poole. Meanwhile Coventry are having to use reserves to ride in place of a 2nd string due to new rules. This definitely weakens them esp with Sarjeant's lack of form. I think Poole would have won this anyway as our team is terrible but think the margin will be even bigger now. Predict 32-58

He has been scoring well so far this season. His recent away score at Leicester was 8 (3,0,3,2*) and he's been in great form at Glasgow. It's not ideal having to use draft reserves to cover for a rider in the top 5 I do agree about the Fast track draft being a problem this year though. Terrible when teams can just pick 2 riders near the top of the draft (or should be graded higher) like Poole & Leicester whilst some teams have been left with 2 riders low down making them weak. If it's not going to be done fairly then it should be scrapped and their should be a 2 Brits per team rule instead

Tonight showed again why the new RR rule for missing 2nd strings doesn't work.

Looking at new averages, it might be a while before Newman is in the main team. More chance of Ellis. I thought Kyle would be one of the first to move up in this protected format but it's been Auty, Starke, Kerr and Wright who have been adding to their averages.

Love it 😂 I have seen more comments on Twitter about the state of the track from people there than the quality of racing.

One that fit average wise. If the replacement rider had a higher average then the 2 lowest average riders would slot in at reserve.

The weather channel and met office are currently showing 60% chance of rain between 3pm - 8pm tomorrow night
