Probably a bit premature to be discussing a guest for next Week v Poole.....but I'm not sure whether Pickering has fully recovered from his recent injury, so, with that in mind, I'd go for Danny King or Craig Cook !!
Very disappointing last night....BUT....some of the best racing I've seen down there in a long time.
Harris/Vissing/Complin/Bowtell saved the day!
Sedgemen poor yet again!!
Harris, Brennan, Basso, Vissing ???
I think you'll edge it by about 4/6 points....
It's a great feeling tonight for us home fans, because I think it's the first meeting this season where I think we can say that we've got a chance of winning for once!
The luxury that I can see from this move, is that Bowtell can be used '7' times if needed (reserve)?
Can only hope that Nielsen comes back with no ill effects?
Starke/Nielsen are a far stronger pairing than D/J.Thompson, so it definitely strengthen's us.
Very happy!
Roll on next Wednesday!
Unfortunately he's not 16 till end of August!
I wonder what points/ave are left after Starke signing ?
Could Ashley Morris be returning, or may be Shanes ?
I was only teasing mate....I totally agree about the venue/viewing etc....
Must be quite satisfying going to a meeting that has a good atmosphere (Oxford..)
I don't think it would have anything to do with Dan's efforts....I would assume that it's all about juggling averages etc....
Besides, Dan was only signed on a 28 day term....
The manager has been signed to improve team performances, not to develop riders. It's about time we had someone that shows a passion for the cause.
That's why Poole are so successful!
Clegg rides well at PB....but I'd go with Starke if he fits.
I'd like to see Dan given a chance, but he's a Championship reserve at best, atm..... IMO!
Not sure I can see J.T coming back in to the team....he doesn't quite have it....I think Hagon is a stronger prospect (more bottle...)
Not saying it's something I'd do/agree with, but just looking at options and if there's not a suitable replacement for J.T, then the manager would have no choice but to look at other avenues.
From B'ham forum...new averages from July 1st gives us 4.78 for a replacement for the injured J.T (out for 6 weeks and not likely to make much of an impact on return, based on previous performances...)
Paul Starke on 4.44 ???
Agreed! ....I was just adding a touch of humour, but now you mention the other areas, I think we can also add Handsworth/Lozells etc etc etc...... proper rough!
