I could say the same about you.

Tell you what though regardless off the injuries which is part & parcel you have been really unlucky on that front but the Bandits have been very competitive in all there meeting's so far especially away once things settle down and you get your full 1-7 whoever that may be then there is no reason why you can't have a good season based on your results so far.

Thats the usual predictable reply we come to expect you alway's think that you are the smart one when in fact most off us are laughing at you not with you with your ridiculous predictions & post's. Simple answer would be yes .

There are going to be some fixture clashes not checked though how many . Victor would also miss some meetings due to his Swedish commitments on a Thursday James belong's to Coventry but he is too potent a point scorer and there is no way that they would even consider letting James go anywhere.

That is a pretty dramatic decline up side to that is if we can get Kozza going and scoring the way we know he can it would be a very potent weapon to have at reserve , There would be no way we would consider dropping James there is only one way this lad is going and the sky's the limit in his learning curve his performances so far have been top drawer. Dropping Victor would also be harsh but if it meant having Dimitri & Kozza at reserve what a combination that would be to have at 6 & 7 as Dimitri has been improving significantly week on week Anders would be a good shout he is a proven point scorer going well in his native Denmark & a club asset and is capable of scoring big points especially round Ashfield.

Just read Aaron's post match comments on the official site sounds like he is feeling as bad about tonight as we were after heat 15 need to get the reassuring arm round Kozza and try and gee him up pretty sure he will not be feeling that great about the way he has started the season either. They seem a close knit group and they will all know they missed an opportunity tonight and i am sure they will help him through it.

No dis-service they have to be congratulated on pulling this one out the bag as i have done but what George is saying is correct we really should have killed that off against a depleted team if we are to be regarded as contenders. Any off the other contenders would have hammered home there advantage whilst we seemed to have allowed the advantage to fall from our grasp and it needs addressing.

Said that in an earlier post to be fair it wasn't us that were hyping them up it was mainly other teams fan's but it is a real wake up call and we are not as good as some would have you believe but if Kozza was hitting the form that we all know he is capable off then we would not be debating this right now sadly for us and him he has flattered to decieve so far this season.

Ive calmed now just had some gas & air But it was still S*ite though.

Maybe but it will escalate into a lot more than one match if we continue to get the points return we are getting from some on the road.

A lot more capable than us that is for sure in all honesty Edinburgh would have hammered home the advantage against an understregnth team as the Diamonds were tonight whilst we rolled over and handed them the win on a silver platter by the looks off it.

I am saying this through gritted teeth here but i agree 100% with you for a change as i say we must give the Diamonds credit and well done to them but they were so depleted it is totally un-aceptable to have thrown that away tonight big decisions need too be made and quickly before it is too late. You can maybe say that it is only one meeting and we will bounce back but continuing to carry someone on that average with the points return we are getting is not going too win you anything and ultimately that is what the new owners are wanting.

Sadly after tonight it looks like you are bang on the money with your summary.

Well whilst i could not get down for this tonight it looks as if we managed to grab defeat from the jaws off victory i know it is still early in the season for us but looking at the scores of our rivals they are all banging in away wins in some style. Newcastle were understregnth tonight and we really should have been targeting all 4 points or at least 3 one point from Kozza is unacceptable i am afraid and if we are to be regarded as contenders then we should have been winning this tonight. Well done to the Diamonds though they dug deep and pulled off an unlikely victory but to say i am bitterly disappointed is an understatement could have been worse i suppose having to drive back from Newcastle after that would have been s*it Wonder what Stewart will be saying too Kozza right now jacket must be on a shaky peg i would imagine but completely p*ssed off right now. Trying not to over-react but by the looks off thing's we were completely let down tonight and i am sure ar*ses will be getting kicked maybe we are aiming too high and believed the hype that we were this or that but i am afraid that was un-acceptable and we are maybe not as good as we thought we were.

Looks like it is too close to call now don't know what is wrong with Kozza but with the average and experience he has surely we should expect more and that's what may cost us

Fair point and the full season out last year is probably not helped i am pretty confident he will be up to speed if we can get some momentum going with a run off meetings for that to happen we need the weather to play ball and behave as if it is nearly summer.

Possibly although i think Kozza will get thing's sorted out before then with young James scoring so well from reserve it is only a matter off time before he is in the main body and it will not bother him one little bit if that were to happen think it will be Dimitri dropping to reserve although on current form it may be close between him & Kozza either way we will still be pretty potent at reserve.

At last we managed to get some speedway in without rain although it is still freezing for the time off year pretty uneventful meeting if truth be told not the worst i have seen but pretty mundane stuff. Although there can't be a team that throw's so many silly point's away more than us all credit to Newcastle for keeping it close but really and i mean no dis-respect to the Diamonds if we had been up against a team with more top end firepower we could have been in trouble today. It really must be a worry to the management as it is to us on the poor form shown by Kozza at the minute i hope he can turn thing's round sooner rather than later but it is another win in the bag as we continue to play catch up and well done to Rich on his paid max looked to have sorted the mechanical issues he has had until the bike went pop again in Heat 13.

The only passing you see at Armadale is off the wind variety after having a Wolbert burger.

No we won't i would rather watch speedway on a Friday night but there are no tracks close by that have speedway on a Friday.

I know that it is meant in jest hence the wink but the majority up here find that offence numpty is fine though .

Ipswich & Rye because there closer .

Yes there could have been a case for Rich to have gone in that heat wasn't intentional as he picked up and carried into Jason but there could have been a case for his exclusion.

We would be as well calling the Newcastle meeting off now get the call off in nice & early it really is a f**king joke problem is the weather continuing to let us down new fans will just do something else as it is too unpredictable.

Ridiculous or not it is the opinion he has which he is entitled to as you have your,s.
