Agree with the management point. One critism from some quarters has been that Chris has stuck by riders for too long. But give me a trait of loyalty respect and nuture over ruthless manipulation anyday. Perhaps that where im different as a person to some others....

The margin between success and failure can be tiny and the 2015 Witches are a perfect example. We generally have an excellent side but who have on a few occaisions slipped just below the required standard. We never really managed to build any momentum before the next hiatus hit whether it be a poor performance, a new injury or an enforced break. The engine room at the start (Cam/Gino/Ritchie)needed to at least hold its own but unfortunately struggled. Notice the common link? Injury.... Each of them were hit early on and IMO that took its toll both physically and also in dealing with the extra demands r/r brings. Yes I am disappointed but it is also the frustration of knowing how close wecwere to being a top side. Sometimes though its just not meant to be. Agree with a few comments above that there has been plenty of great entertainment again this year. Nico to take a special bow there. Roll on 2016 - whatever it may bring. It will be an interesting winter. Maybe a few surprises????

indeed and with no one to blame other than ourselves.But at least any credit or blame is due to our own 7 riders and and not a hotchpotch collective of who might be free on any given day. wink

well our season is over now so all I have left to do for the rest of the season is to give you lot dogs abuse! lol

You sacked him!! Id expect him to give a 2 word reply if asked. The first sounds like duck and the second is off!

only because almost everything you do makes it so easy to want to!! wink

So when will the 16 lapper be? Surely it wont be next month as planned. Unless some other fillers are arranged (which seems unlikely) the sooner the better and then we can all get set for Christmas!!

Congratulations Plymouth - enjoy the play offs. Fully deserve their place. Hope you can shake them up a bit...

doesnt seem to be anything to resolve - the fixture is on tge official BSPA list.

wouldnt expect anything less from the pussycats!!

Always best to go as far as possible.

If you have a draft then you cant have protected riders - needs to be a free pick in strict order.

So who will take the last play off spot? Plymouth have their fate in their own hands and a 7+ win should be within reach against a lop sided Rye side. Lykke is the key for me - if he can back up the top 3 then the Devils have a real fight on their hands. If not then its champagne time in Devon....

you will get replacements who have achieved the same averages and are therefore of pretty much equal ability by definition.....

Just another 24 hours of false hope.....

Withdraw then..... You signed both Grondal and Thomsen in full knowledge they were in the U21 and that these dates would be the reserved dates for the first play off matches - tough!!

So you could have a rider on 6.21 so long as they started the season below 6.....

Scunny has often been a place where get things right and the home team can string together multiple 5-1s

Can see it now... Devils need a 5-1 in 15 and Kennett is cruising to another win when BANG off the last bend his engine blows and Morten sails through to take the Devils into the play offs....

Following on updates was great. Hard to believe a meeting you cant see and doesn't even involve your own side can be so entertaining!! Leigh Lanham - Witches rider of the year....

that was due to logistics rather than ability though.The original comment was some of tge no7s werent even good enough for the PL. No comparison with Adam there....

perhaps they took the cheap option with the thought it wouldnt affect the result anyway.

With 8.70 I make it EL average upto 6.21 can be used. (conversion 1.4) As far as I know the 6+ rule only applies to d/u and not guests...

Cant see how you can accuse Lewy of acting like a child. He is standing up for what he thinks is right and asking for a rule to be fairly and consistently enforced - thats all. Too often teams (all teams at times) look at how a rule can be bypassed or manipulated and unless someone takes a stand they get away with it. Comments like ' it happens all the time' ' its only practice' 'he can be ok the day after' 'riders often pick and choose' dont make it right.

no wonder the plan has been so successful - youve been practicing at being shyte all season! wink
