I think this works both ways, barker would never ride for Poole, middlo or with Lawson

 Yes he is definitely going much better now and unlucky at Plymouth, I said the other day it was strange Zach was going much better for Belle Vue but not tonight.

I still think Zac rides different machinery for BV than he does for Poole. Mind you he did manage that fastest race time around Wimborne Rd this year recently, that was a bit out of the blue. Does that mean he has machinery that you could be using come the sharp end? or am I just dreaming? 

I wasn't a fan to begin with but Kerr is now critical to future Pirates success this season.

Well apart from Lawson  and Cairns they have all had a up and down season, maybe niggling injuries, I know Anders did but rode well tonight, Zach has been riding better for Belle Vue but not tonight, he is now a big worry.  Kerr was very good tonight so that is good, even Toby has not been that good lately although pretty good at Plymouth. Hopefully they can all click on the same night in the play offs.  Glasgow look like its theirs to lose right now, Leon was very good tonight.

OK so it's ultimately the riders who have to go out and perform I get that, but surely Middleditch has to shoulder some responsibility for how the team "go" too. From the outside Speedway seems set up as "all turn up on the night and see how it goes". When do riders get to practice, trial set ups/equipment, and do team managers do more than decide who rides when, or do they help people manage as well. IMO a bit of team managing could go a long way towards sorting individual riders issues and to delivering better team performances.

Zach lodges at Middlo's, as does his brother still, and they are all in their own WhatsApp group.

Unfortunately it seems not all the riders like the same track prep and once in gets in your head it can affect your performances and your set-ups- especially if riders are carrying niggling injuries as well.
