Thats a bit strong. I don't recall Gladhill shutting the throttle off like Boughen. In actual fact, I have never seen anyone shut off going into the 1st bend like him. It's a pretty dangerous thing to do. As for Gladhill he won the National League Riders Championship, when it was worth winning. So to compare is a little bit unfair.

If Gilkes is out for a while (hopefully not) Who would they bring in to cover for him? There doesn't seem to be a lot of options out there?

Is It's unfair on the rider(because he's not good enough) and it's unfair on the paying public. having to watch him being miles off the pace and coming last in every race. People are always saying Poole can spot a riders potential. Even though he's only going to be there a few months. Danny Ford has proved, he's not got much idea about speedway riders. Marson has been riding in this country since 2018. Thats eight seasons!!! He could have picked Connor Coles, Jack Smith. Not world beaters, but might have got the odd point. Very poor decision to sign Marson.

It's hard to fathom what goes through Schorecks head. McDiarmid was on fire wheras Killeen beat Marson and Stark. He gave McDiamid only five rides,. The same as Killeen. The man has no idea. It's every meeting he has a shocker. As you said. they won, but surely it's time for Courtney and co to get rid. He even had a go back at fans for a decision he made the other week. The man is a buffoon!

It is sad to watch, but a lack of nerve is something you don't want, if you want to be a speedway rider. As you say looks class when hits fresh air. Unfortunately even the best had to ride in traffic. I've never seen anyone so blatantly shut off going into the first bend. Lets hope he can overcome this. If not I can't see much of a future for him, which such a shame. When he's in front he looks one of the best youngsters out.

It will be interesting to see how he goes in the u21s. He will be riding against the likes of the Thompson twins, Hagon, Killeen, Mulford etc who are riding in the CL at the mo. It will be a good yardstick as to where he his at that level.

Kings Lynn need to take him out of the firing line as well. His confidence is shot. He needs to get riding back in the 3rd division to build up his confidence in my opinion.

Against a four man team!

100% correct. Jack Smith outscored the Glasgow's two reserves and Boughen on his own. they will be found out big time away from home!

Track very slick. Not helping Bomber at all!

He won't change. He shuts off every time. You can't carry three riders and expect to win. Him being No2 means Heat 8 will always be a 1-5 against

I think this will be won or lost on the bottom three of each side. Boughen v Hagon and the Reserves. Hagon rates this as one of his favourite tracks and won the u21 last season. Boughen can look absolutely brilliant in one race, then looks like he's never rode a bike. So it will depend which rider turns up. As for the reserves, Smith should walk this hands down. So it has the makings of a very interesting meeting. btw. Would it not be better to put Hagon at No2? I think he has a better chance of scoring pts in that position and Hume has more experience than Hagon and therefor should be able to handle No3 a bit better.

What I have read above is wrong. You are correct he can still ride in the lower league. Maybe it was a mistake on his part in choosing not to ride in that league. We can all see he is lacking confidence and having that league as a backup would have done him the world of good.

I maybe wrong but I did read this. To be eligible for the National Development League (NDL) in British Speedway, riders must generally meet certain criteria, including not having a Championship average of 4.00 or above

Did Cook not say last week that he had asked for the track to be slicker? I thought they would have kept it with a bit dirt for home track advantage!
