Congratulations Middlo Bashers


Recommended Posts

To all those that have called for Middlos head, for years of underperformance.

You all have your wish, Team GB are being utterly humiliated in their own back yard.

Hope your all happy :mad:

Gives me no pleasure whatever to see this abject humiliation, though as I've said many times the roots of this kind of performance are woven into the fabric of uk speedway and how it's organised. Frankly, I don't think that anybody in authority really cares enough to invest in the infrastructure, coaching, facilities or support for the British team, so I for one would not place all the blame on Middlo. Any manager would struggle to get the best from his riders in that context. :(

Woffindon would do no better and its too early for him, it wouldnt be fair. Kennett is no better than a reserve around Brandon.

 

Olly Allen though, give me a break.

 

We just dont have enough good riders to choose from.

 

Like it was for him in the GB final on a track he'd barely seen before. Woffinden is well up to this.

He was up against fellow English muppets though, not world class riders. What would him getting beaten by half a lap by the Danes or Aussies do for him?

Rubbish. He's a damn sight better than you give him credit. He hammered Rymel at Berwick at the weekend and the Czech is proving no mug tonight.

Whilst I agree about the infrastructure and the lack of talent the likes of Nicholls, Harris and Richardson should be more than capable of scoring more than 10 points alone between them after 2 rides each, 3 for Nicholls.

I am not slagging him at all my friend, he looks to be a fantastic prospect but coming 2nd in the British Final and beating some world class riders is completely different.

 

Christ, Howe came 2nd last year didnt he? Or was he 3rd????

 

I hope that I will be proved wrong on Thursday though.

There's little pride or motivation attached to riding in national colours. It's the lowest priority for riders who already spend most of their working lives riding for 3 or 4 clubs. Rider talent is one thing, but making the national team no 1 requires major structural change.

This is just the result of years of total neglect for British speedway. At last we have now arrived at the level that investment ensures, second rate speedway.

 

But hey at least the matches in the "Elite League" are closer.

Tai is different gravy to some of our one track wonders. Mark my words, he should be out there tonight.

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.

 

bullsh1t

 

the biggest motivator GB had in the last few years was David Norris, simple as.

 

the only time GB got anywhere near winning was completely down to Norris and the way HE got the rest of the team going.

 

 

just all reminds me of last year in Poland .. difference is, when all of you were saying the Poles had oversize engines, GB go out on their home track on 250cc's .. now THAT'S confidence

 

 

and i agree fully that Woffinden should have been in with his form at the moment.

not even Middlo would have used him either, he's a PL rider.

To be fair, the riders are poor, the track seems to have been preapred for the Danes the only think I might have done different is have Kennett in for Stead so would Middlo done any better? I don't know him, is he a better motivatror than Lynch?

 

Shocking statement and whats even more shocking is your 100% right.

There's little to no motivation in TeamGB, or the England football team for that matter. Different story for the other countries though. This is a British disease.
