DIAMONDS

Because I think that he would preform as good at number 4 and I think Rosen would preform better as well and have less pressure on him than the number 5 spot does if he was at number 2.

I think George should have a different line up for this fixture and he should keep it that way IMO 1. Ludvig Lindgren 2. Anton Rosen 3. Lewis Kerr 4. Christian Henry 5. Stuart Robson 6. Chris Schramm 7. Lewis Rose

Does anybody know who the guest will be for Newcastle?

I think 53-37 ish. Predictions?

He wasn't 'sacked' he just had a crisis in confidence and said he was going to take the rest of the year break from the PL and come back next year. Unfortunately he went to the wrong team (Just kidding, I'm glad to see he is back to his best )

Yes, so am I, I never said I wasn't

Stop making me so jealous I wonder why he ever did leave Newcastle? I;m obviously happy for him though, keep it up Steve (Except against us )

Ah yes forgot about that

Michael Palm Toft for Schramm?

I'm aware of that but I can't see many of the other riders average changing too much, that's why I said about 5.87 because it was an approximate 1. Ludvig-Rode extremely well last night and looked like a true number 1 getting a well deserved paid maximum. 2. Christian-Rode very solidly getting 10+1 and looks like he will be a good leader for some of the youngsters this year. 3. Stuart- Another paid maximum man taking his captains role very well once again helping Rose to get some points and smashing in huge, vital race wins. 4. Lewis K-Seemed to be coming back to his 2013 form after a slower start to the year, getting another paid maximum and looking very strong and quick. 5. Anton-Not terrible but I still don't think we have seen the best from him, I think he would improve away from the number 5 position. 6. Chris-Got his average not much more than you can ask, 110% effort but still I don't think he is the most reliable rider that we could have in our number 6 role. 7. Lewis R-Made me eat my own words in saying that the reserves aren't good enough, he looked very good last night and he might go far this season, is he another Lewis Kerr? I hope so. Overall the whole team rode extremely well but I still have that problem at reserve where we don't seem to have enough fire power. Maybe wait until the May averages come out to see what can be done.

Lets say his average drops by 1 point so it is 6.00 or there abouts. We could replace Schramm with a rider worth up to about a 5.87 average

Will Anton's average drop when he gets a proper average and what will it go to May?

52-38 ish is my prediction. I would like to see Schramm, Lindgren and Rosen score some points tonight

I must say Steve was no surprise to me at all, I knew he would do well The surprise Diamonds for me has to be Stuart Robson, looks like he is back to his best again just when I thought he might be on the decline after 2013

I have to say I agree unfortunately When he is good he is one of the best riders I have ever seen but when he isn't good he's certainly not a PL number 1. I think Robson will definitely cope better at number 1 than Lindgren.

I think he meant that you didn't mention the fact that Richie and Schramm were riding for Ipswich, not that you didn't mention them at all

Aha, sorry I'm don't so much get subtle talk

Very?

What average would Lee Smart come in on?

If you read what I put I said it could be either reserve not just Lewis. Just to back up my point against Somerset we only got 7 points from out reserves but Somerset got 16+3. That's huge to the final result. My thought was to get a bigger point scoring reserve in to take more pressure of the likes of Robbo and Henry. Also I do agree that Lindgren and Rosen have struggled so far this season but I hope they will come good .

Everyone, I didn't necessarily mean get rid of Rose, But I think one of the reserves needs to be swapped with someone who is capable of scoring big points and beating the opposition heatleaders (even away.) Someone like a Steve Worrall or a Kalle Katajisto or even a Ryan Douglas and if I draw your attention to my earlier post I said One of the reserves need to be changed but I don't know who or what. (Quoted from post 32) I think we need to do something with the reserves but I don't know what or who In the same post I have excuded Rose from the team as at the moment I would say Schramm and Rose are about equal in level and it wouldn't matter who would stay or go. The only reason I kept Schramm in this team is because of his huge effort, his experience and his recent form. I would love to see rose stay and develop like Kerr did last season and I hope he does it but in some important races he is left standing still and is completely of the pace. I suppose if he gets his average that is all you can ask for really and thinking about it now I would love him to stay at the club and I honestly think if anyone will go realistically it will be Schrammy. I hope Lewis Rose and Chris Schramm will hit form and I wish them and every other rider in the world good luck for the rest of the season.

True But at least he gives 110% effort

That's a possibility but I don't think Nielsen is that good round Brough Edit: Josef Franc? on a reduced average

Got it in one (I know he wont ride but I'd love it) That's why I want him, do you know weather he is still closely linked with the club or not? What's the chances of Nicklas Porsing riding in the PL (I don't necessarily mean for the Diamonds but I would love to see how he would get on in this league)

I know that's the problem, trying to think of another 3.00 rider I can think of one but there is not a hope in hell
