The thing with Tai is,he does it on purpose.Im sure nobody cares when it is the heat of the moment stuff,like Thomsen last night.

Kurtz missed the meeting after the GP he got injured in.He made his comeback Friday which is fine,now if he doesn't turn up for the Lynn meeting on Monday that is not fine.But he hasn't really done anything wrong yet.

He looks very uncomfortable, the track has claimed two riders tonight who unfortunately were the passengers to others hitting that awful bend 3.

There seems to be a lot of empty seats looking at the tv screens.But then if you reckon about 12,000+ that is quite a few empty ones.3,000 shy maybe then?

Some people do seem to have it in for Kurtz.I don't see a problem,he had a bad crash,adrenaline got him through.He missed his next match then come back.

Individual glory or not,this is the exact same scenario as Kurtz is it not.It didn't take long for a certain posters to jump on Kurtz back.They both had a crash,they both completed their meeting,they both took their next meeting out from their British clubs then if Jenkins is back Monday they both return to speedway 5/6 days later.Now if Kurtz don't return to Belle Vue after the weekend then all the flak he is getting is justified,but not until.

Will Jenkins be fit,he done a Kurtz on Wednesday didn't he🤫.Fell,in his first done 2 more rides and then pulled out of Oxfords next match.Just saying🫣😉😆

I agree re Iversen,but as you say they may have to be ruthless at some point.And if they did make a change, whoever they got rid of you could probably make a case of why him.

I agree if anyone was to be replaced it would have be one of those two.Even though NKI has been consistent we need that little more from him imo.Klindt is very frustrating,so inconsistent,he can lose you a match as well as win one for you.They need to make a change soon though if they are to make one, with Birmingham and Leicester away coming up.Those matches are must wins if they want to make the play offs imo.

NKI has probably been our most consistent rider tbh.It is really only his last two matches where he has gone off a bit.Only 2 last places up until the last 2 matches,now he has a further 5.

Would have left him in 4 just to get his rides out early doors.So that would have left Kvech in ht 6.At the end of the day he should have only got 3 rides once we had the chance of a ts imo.

I think Lynn could have possibly won that had those changes been made.Kvech RR in ht3 instead of Klindt,then a tac sub i think in ht6 for Harrison and Klindt RR in ht14 to partner Kvech.All it's,but's and maybe's.I think Rob must have been thinking we will be 6 or more down by ht14 that's all I can think of why he went this way about things.

I said that to a friend about 15 minutes ago.It is unusual for Rob not to be on the ball.He usually uses the tactical as soon as he can.I also would have used Klindt RR in ht 14 to partner Kvech.This would have only given 3 rides to Harrison who by all accounts done well though.Still I would have took a 4pt loss before the meeting,but a bit frustrated too that we didn't take anything from it.

Me too Blobby,we got dusty up on 3rd bend Friday night,but I didn't hear anyone complain because they were treated to a great night of racing.

No,not really imo.Done the same at the fanzone in Manchester Friday.Thing is he actually means to do it.You don't see any other sportsmen go out of their way to swear when being interviewed,not intentionally anyway.

Having listened to the podcast today,I didn't realise Hawkins was such bad loser.Shake hands win,lose or draw c'mon sort yourself out.Well done Louis though👍

Can't see Kvech getting near what he got Monday,his gating isn't the best and Sheffield are so strong at home.

I would say pure adrenaline would have got Kurtz through Saturday anyway.It's afterwards when the adrenaline subsides is when you seem to feel the pain.Just because he rode an extra 2 heats doesn't make him fit or else the same could be said about Doyle.

Looks like you have missed someone off having the tactical🫢

Sheffield R/R for Pickering,Lynn R/R for Cook.Harrison is the rising star. Unfortunately I can see another defeat for the Stars on the road.Sheffield are weaker without Pickering but are so strong at home that I can only see a home win.Would have been nice if Lynn could have got a guest for Cook,this would have put a lot less pressure on the reserves.Harrison will have to take 4 rides now.

Well it obviously stood in 2023.Anyway that wasnt my point as I said earlier,I was replying to you when you said if Lynn got a no1 then they would have to have a 3 pointer.This is clearly not the case as of this month anyway😊

The final issue of the averages of that season had him on a 7.81 average.If you was to take of the 2.5% Brit reduction that would leave him on about 7.61.Anyway regardless of that i was just pointing out that Lynn wouldn't end up having a 3 pointer at reserve even if they got a no1 with an average of 9.

The team is under the limit by 1.40👍

Lynn wouldn't have a 3 point reserve.If for instance Lynn got rid of Cook and Iversen that would give Lynn 14.27 to use before month end,that's Zmarzlik and a 5.27 rider😁.Cook/Klindt would give you 13.90 that's a 9 pointer and a 4.90 rider.None of them nowhere near a 3.If they were to tempt Lambert(which they won't )they could have something like 6.66 or 6.29.Or actually if Cook was to ride you could bring Lambert in for Klindt.So they could quite easily get a no1 in without having to get a 3 pointer.When I say easily,I mean on the average fitting idea,not actually being able to convince a no1 to come and ride here.

At this present time you only have about 7.54 to play with to replace Cook,who is apparently back next week anyway.You wouldn't really get a number 1 on that average imo.Lambert would come closest though on around a 7.61 I think.Lambert could replace Klindt? Good all round performance last night in the end,with only Iversen not performing.He'a had a strange season stat wise,only 3 race wins until he wins 3 at Oxford on Thursday,then he had 2 last places all season until he gets 3 last night,without his 2 exclusions oʻ🤔
