M08 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Buut he is the manager, and everyone could have told him it was a mistake. I take no joy out of watching GB struggle, but it was obvious that Kennett and Woffinden would do a better job than Stead and Allen. Well maybe, but they may have surprised us all and scored 10 between them Stead really is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the 'before' threads though Steve...plenty of people thought Olly Allen and Simon Stead were the RIGHT choice round Coventry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 And Kennet and Tai are on form. Stead is worse than King, Howe and a host of others. Stead knows he is not on form and should have declared himself not available. But he shouldn't have been picked in the first place.

Vincent Vega Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Shazzy Middlo deserved to go he knew it thats why he did the honourable thing and resigned. They should never have given the job to Jim. Rosco is yer man ex rider with a lot of passion and would kick backsides aswell. JL should tender his resignation tomorrow morning and let Rosco take over for the Race off.

Crazy robin Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Totally correct Shazzy. Middlo is a motivator who got more out of TeamGB than was in the tank. Now Jim Lynch is finding out just how tough it is. At the moment we won't even be riding on Thursday! Hone, Vega, and a load of others called for Middlo's head. Truth is he was our 6th rider and the reason we papered over the cracks for so long, which are now clearly evident. Bloody hell Steve if Middlo was our 6th rider that must have been why we did so bad as he was poor even in his prime. As usual with you it's those favourite Pirate coloured glasses on your head today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're wrong, his first meeting in charge, whatever he said at the interval worked, hopefully he's learnt from that and has the same chat before the next meeting! Rosco Plenty of other ex-riders out there with passion before he gets the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stead knows he is not on form and should have declared himself not available. But he shouldn't have been picked in the first place. And if Stead had scored a dozen, you would have been saying how it was your idea in the first place, Steve. Your 20:20 hindsight is miraculous! Frankly, if it's so blooming obvious, why did Middlo, the man whose management abilities you rate so highly, decide to stick with home track knowledge?

HenryW Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) I'm on the AndyM and Lupus side of the argument, apologies if I've missed anyone else of the same thinking. Nothing annoys me more when people spout off we should have used him... him... uncle Tom Cobley... Joe Bloggs and all! You are all spouting off after the wheels have started turning, who ever rode tonight the result would have been the same... get over it.... we are rubbish full stop!!! GB shouldn't be doing as badly as they did, though. As I said earlier...Look at the Swedish team. Their team is no better than the GB one on league form. The only difference would appear to be that they either have some national pride or they were better motivated by their manager....

Sorry I forgot yer birthday Love VV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Rosco certainly helped Jonas become a better rider by shouting at him and blaming him for everything that went wrong at Swindon didn't he ?. Your having a laugh with Rosco, as he only picks his mates like Travis over riders who should have been in the team. It also looks like Gary Patchett has now got a role in the Team G.B set up judging on tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Think the Sky presenter at the end summed it up perfectly. He said you look at the Danish and Swedish pits and there's a clear team spirit going on. You look at the GB pits and it's 7 individuals sitting there looking forlorn.
