Sidney the robin

He signed an autograph for me and the noise was immense in the pits .Rob said wait i won't forget and came over later was such a nice bloke he could of turned away genuine comes to mind.

I see Rob ride at Swindon earlier in the season and boy he looked quick he had one dodgy fall in one race but his gating was electric.The one thing that struck me about him in the pits was his enthusiasm and he also was a really nice bloke to speak to.He will be great for team moral and great to have around the younger members of the team really hope he has a great 2020 season.

A Jack Smith type now would not even be aloud to ride in the Premiership even young Anders Rowe i believe is just below the required criteria.?? average wise.Batchelor is comfortable at Swindon he is happy and he is a damn good rider at home he was terrific and to have the two Aussie's in heat 13/15 is a real plus.

Not easy Paddy but that top four will score 40 plus most weeks.

Rasser is a great third heatleader but Batchelor is an awesome number two and he rides the new Abbey track brilliantly.Having an option of having Doyley/Batch in heat's 13/15 is brilliant a real bonus.

I hope so ER , Rasser is so good at home and he is useful away and he can still improve in that department.That top four is awesome even on a bad day we will collect the bonus point.Ellis Perks can improve he is better than his average Rosco does have a difficult task though with that five to complete his team Jeppesen could be someone who could be a player.?

I would go with that with Perks as well with two others.

God we had not seen a title winning side since 1967 !!! you must be a hard man to please.

What a terrible post how many title's has Alun won??

Not keen on that side cannot see that side winning the league.

Be great for them to get more meeting's i see both of them ride at Swindon this year and they were both impressive.

You are either Stevie Wonder in disguise or your comment is one of wanting a wee bit of attention.?? Allen, Ayres,Auty, Jorgensen, are all exciting to watch at the EWR also they have probably one of the most exciting young prospect's in young Palin.

If the National league runs will the Thompson twins do both league's.?

Doyle, Batchelor, Jensen,Ellis, certainties ? Perks,Pickering? and another? i believe Tobi will miss out.

Happy with that Troy deserves to stay a terrific top two.

Yes and they are valid and you could be proved right and the injury side of thing's still concern me maybe Kent might take a punt.?

Hope you are right he deserves a chance last year i think he scored double figures plus in every meeting bar a couple of meeting's.I think he is unlucky not to be in Leicester's plans but i fully understand that because they are developing the Thompson twins career's which is great news.

Do you think he is not capable of riding at reserve in the Championship ? he is better than alot of the reserves certainly better than Stoneman( who i like) and Lawlor i know Danyon's average could be a stumbling block.

Paco even at reserve will not have it all his own way especially at no 6 riding away.

I think you are wrong about Hume and for me it will be a travesty if he is not given another prolonged run at Championship level.Last year he buckled down and had a great year no injuries and he did that with fewer meeting's meaning lack of sharpness.People forget before his first injury what he was averaging for Ipswich and if Hume was with another strong reserve Birmingham at least at home would be strong in that department all year.

Is having a top heavy side the way the fans want to go again next year or should we go in a different direction.? Great news about Doyley for me he stays riding for us as long as he rides in British speedway a real legend.He is in our top 6 riders ever alongside Briggs, Crump, Ashby, Adams, Kilby.

I believe Anders will be ready within the next two season's, he has made huge strides and technically is a very good rider.I have only seen him ride a few times but people who have seen him ride regularly say he is an excellent white line rider but his showing's at Scunny and the brilliant NSS show he is improving at the bigger and faster tracks.I would love to see us have a really strong reserve all year and with Anders at no 8 ready to come in at any opportunity.Leicester have shown with the Thompson twins that British youngsters have to be given opportunities but at the right time.

Good luck to both the twins and if Leicester do the same as what Workington did with Bickley longterm Leicester will reap the rewards.The twins along with young Palin at Scunny wont be expected to score loads but the experience they gain will be invaluable.

A great signing for Sheffield and the league, and if Sheffield can get there great racetrack back to past glories that will help him.Have Sheffield confirmed Nicol as a starter is he in there plans for 2020.?

It is going to be a really tough call to make changes, and AGAIN there was a great chance missed in not letting us defend the crown with the same side.Doyley, Adam, Rasser, Ellis Perks would be my core of the side and let's see what else can be assembled after.I feel sorry for Batch as he has been superb and if Rosco went a different route with Batch in i would be quite happy.Maybe Nick, Jeppesen, Stewart, Pickering could be riders who might be looked at we shall see.
