Nick presumably drop to about 8 gives you 2.5 to play with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken from the updates site; His Morris's"Rolling average is 9.24His 2023 Ave' is 6.49, away is 5.20 and Yesterdays new green sheets has Brummies on 39.61, while Poole are on 39.87 !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough I know not had many qualifying meetings this season but thought drop more than that. Is it 10 or 20 meetings? Does anyone really know?

szkocjasid Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) It's quite hard to judge how good / bad riders are performing, only going by their scores. Many are suggesting dropping Joe T rather than James P. Based solely on their scores, makes perfect sense, however if James was at 6 & Joe at 7, would their scoring be different? At tonights match, Pearson beat Kinsley 2-1 but didn't beat any other riders, while Joe fell in heat 2, but then never met another reserve, only racing Oxford's in form top 5! I guess you'd have to be at the match to judge them better? Edited June 14, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you'd have to be at the match to judge them better? Pearson was miles better than Joe tonight (and Dan was pretty underwhelming too). However I would be very wary about reading too much into a single match on a very tricky track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I think the Thompsons may have reached their level, not seen much in the way of progress this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's harsh to judge Dan on this season, didn't have a Champ spot till now, which would be the correct level to judge his improvement in. Also did a decent job for Leicester as their RS, posting a better first season average than the likes of Jenkins, Plain, Edwards & Thomas did! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Latest GSAs (issue 13) show no changes yet so for example Morris is still 9.66 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very rare for a rider to peak at 19, unless they completely lose interest in the sport. I think it more likely they will continue to mature, adjust to being independent adults seperate of each other and their father and return to an upward trajectory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you've lost your only 2 home league fixtures both 36-54 everyone's going to have a low league average. However over all home meetings this season Nick is averaging 9.04 (8.44 excluding bonus points) but he's been a 5pt rider away. Justin Sedgmen is the opposite cannot win races at home only averaging 5.33 (5.00) but is an 8 point rider away. You've got to hope he can turn around his home form as he scored well last year and is performing well away and in the Premiership. The problem is 3 & 4 failing to produce anything and nothing special out of reserve. Got to give the Thompson boys a chance. The best solution might be to replace Wright & Pearson for a 7 & a 2 point rider but where are you going to find a 7 point rider? Hans Anderson rides Denmark but they have a summer break coming in July so maybe he's Birmingham's best hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
