Let's all get behind Tom Brennan and not post any negative comments about his bad run of form, I'm sure that he feels down right now and that he could do with some support from the fans.

He will get out of this rut, It's just a case of WHEN and not IF.

I think Tom puts too much pressure on himself, he seems to beat himself up after a bad ride. He just needs to get back to having fun on the bike and hopefully the points will flow again

It’ll be when Lawson swaps with him in positions. Lawson will be number one next time around with averages. Bydgoszcz isn’t helping his confidence.

Unfortunately, some will require their heads to have a wobble. This team was put together in a couple of weeks through necessity. There are simply not enough riders to support British Speedway and that's a fact. At this rate the sport will have a day of reckoning if they don't listen to the likes of Richard Coleman. Mediocrity is not acceptable but the owners simply had to put together a team so deal with it.

Brennan is a class act & will continue to have my full support. We already have one eye on 2027 & he’ll be a key part of that

Can't see it for '27 unless his averages drops? They've already said next year will be different and they are in talks for a big #1. Big brennan fan but unfortunately I struggle to see that average fitting in next year? Around that average you'd have thought King and Musielak would be higher up the queue?

Only flow he’s gonna get is drifting down the river on a boat with no awes

Honestly think Tom would benefit from riding in the Championship for the rest of the season to give himself extra rides and boost his confidence, he’s lost his Polish ride so surely has space in his calendar now.

He’ll fit nicely in the Xmas advent calendar

Agree and he is going through a difficult patch but on his day he can give most a run for their money. Maybe a change of riding order but you cannot lose the faith in an accomplished competitor going through a purple patch. He will come good. Stick with him, he has talent.

He is still under contract with Bydgoszcz and needs to attend each match still, whether in the line up or not.

A few of them had an off night, sometimes that happens,, now if it keeps happening then thats different. Danny has been smashing the points in so far,, unfortunately he didn't tonight,, but he will be back on it next time.  

I believe you thousands wouldn’t

He can simply miss some matches over here...

Several riders have signed contracts with clubs who know their riders will be unavailable for Wednesdays and Saturdays...

And even Thursdays in the Premiership...

Tom B is probably the bottom No1 in the league...

A league of just six number ones...

Meaning he rides against his opposite number three times per night, if he takes Ht15...

Out of those six Number Ones, three are World Class GP riders, and one is a Polish top tier HL...

And then you have No5's like Bewley, Doyle, Kvech, and Pickering with C Holder at a three..

Both Brennan, and also Lidsey, made great progression riding at No3 with two World Class HL's at one and five in their teams..

With just five teams to race, and three of them having top level GP riders at No1, being a non top level GP rider, and riding against them several times a night, can be both an average and a confidence killer..

And Ryan Douglas as the other No1 in the league is a very solid rider...

With so few teams you won't be getting too many "easy" rides to increase your confidence should you need to...

And not riding in Poland regularly won't help...

Can a Championship side fit him in?...

Bit of a disaster but these things happen, in terms of what's needed for the league it keeps it a five horse race for the play offs - for now!

Lets hope the right people are helping Tom right now - form is temporary and all that! Agree with the comments from Mike above - he's having to ride against out and out no1s each meeting and that's not helping right not but he will get there!

Can't see that happening, his current converted average would be 10.69!
