Finally! Decent at Swindon and Poole a good move going into the playoffs.

Garrity guesting for Leicester tonight, absolutely crazy.

Poorly handled yet again.

Even though both have been quoted as wanting to ride in the EL? In Larsens case it was from him on social media.

Yep more than likely. It cant be making money

If that was true they'd have disbanded the Storm by now. Crowds for NL have been poor.

Desperate obviously!

Come on Neil, you must see how it looks like? It feels like the promotion have given up and in turn makes supporters feel like giving up this season too. If you make a change or 2 then the fans will feel upbeat again. I don't think fans are asking much. Just look at what it's done for Swindon. Fans just want to see a successful club and season.

The promotion are doing offers for the 3 meetings that week. A few riders over the last few weeks have stated they want an EL spot. Surely the likes of Jonasson, Larsen, Dudek and Howarth will improve us. Larsen is having a great season in Sweden by all accounts. Could we fit Jonasson and Larsen for Robson and either Hans, King or Joonas. Options are there IF the promotion wants it.

Just about to point that out. Good return from injury that is. As SCB said he probably wouldn't want to d/u as the max is 2 years now so he'll wait till next season. Still possible though.

Yep I agree but it's although we know where one change is needed it's difficult to know who else can be replaced and with whom.

Tonight highlights two things, Garrity needs to be fit for us and we won't win anything without using the points available. Will you management, just be straight for once?

And the previous meeting at Brandon he scored 1. It's what he does, some high scores but also woeful sometimes. Howarth was scoring highly at 2 last season too so imagine a 6.5 rider in that position?

Answer to 1 is yes when we have 6.5 available to replace Robbo. Summers won't score much away at the likes of Poole or Kings Lynn Answer to 2. If they don't then they either have no ambition or are just blind.

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?
