To bring in Michelsen? Of course we could if there was ambition. I'm sure some of the Poles will want meetings now their season is pretty much finished. Even an Howarth or Barker improves the side. Edit to add Dudek has said he wants meetings in the EL.

Sarj should be scoring heavily tonight but yeah a few poor performances in there. Also highlights the need to use our points available.

Why take Summers when we have 6.5 available, we should be looking at signing someone like Michelsen, Zmarzlik, Dudek and others who are at ally heat leaders for a 4pt rider

I did say we shouldn't miss him too much but didnt factor in Sarjeant dropping silly points.

So its the team named but Ayers for Garrity. Ayers is probably better than Wright and Shuttleworth so we shouldn't miss Garrity too much tonight.

Or its as per the Swindon website which has been updated today?

I asked you who would you bring in considering most are not available because you moaned that Sarj couldn't beat Summers? Not naming the side is the management fault but not the actual lack of riders available

So what would you suggest then IF Garrity is injured?

Sarj should easily beat all the reserves on show to be honest so can probably still go with R/R

Ayers of course could be the number 8? Considering our injuries, makes some sense.

I can only think of Rugby that names sides a few days before. Ayers is 3 points better than Shuttleworth in the NL. You pick the best rider possible don't you?

If he is then im guessing for Garrity. If it is true we should still outscore them at reserve.

A post on Facebook suggesting Danny Ayers is guesting tonight. NL average 7.78. To be fair you do for most sports but obviously we are used to getting teams at least 24 hours before.

Pretty poor that 3 hours before the meeting fans don't know the side for tonight unless we are to believe the Swindon press release?

Shuttleworth is guesting for Swindon it's on their website. We are in the playoffs anyway. Long as a change is adequate before then I'm happy enough although they seem to be struggling to find a guest for either King or Robbo. Swindon website has King and Garrity riding still.

Or maybe they are struggling to find a guest for King or Robbo? It's much more plausible Shuttleworth will be guesting for Swindon. Or even Shuttleworth could be a number 8 if we go R/R considering Garrity not fully fit

Could go R/R for King or Lindgren possibly. With the reserves Swindon will have tomorrow? Long as Garrity rides Bees should out score whoever Swindon bring in massively.

Garrity will likely ride tomorrow especially if it leaves us without an option to replace him. I'd say give King a break to fully recover and go either R/R or a guest (Lindgren) depending on the Robson situation. Garrity and Sarjeant are likely to score bucket loads between them. Walasek is a very good guest. Let's just hope he brings his usual Brandon form.

King is missing for Ipswich tonight so seems genuine.

Kings Lynn wasn't given the IRR at Brandon after Lamebert pulled out were they? Kings Lynn put Kerr in heat 14. Edit. He completed 3 rides so it's not allowed.

Exactly. We should have a major advantage at reserve on Friday which should make the difference.

I would say Havvy needs to have a word with him but I bet he has plenty of times and the same with the Glasgow management.

Apparently Sarjeant is guesting for Kings Lynn instead of Blackbird.

You could understand if he was against 2nd strings but in a reserve race James doesn't need to jump, he's good enough anyway. Just look at his race win! It was harsh to exclude both. You can't claim the start was unsatisfactory but then exclude Garrity aswell.

We should be scoring very heavily at reserve.That's the one good thing from last night was that Sarjeant looked much better. Doesn't need to jump the tapes in the reserve heats he's good enough anyway, so frustrating.
