snafu Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 You have all got to have some faith people! The riders are trying, you can see Cory, Ricky, Chris and Ty were really disappointed with themselves last night. The track is inconsistent at the moment, last week it was deep and this week it looked hard and slick. As a result there is no home advantage and no consistency for our lads to build on. I know its the same for both teams but when you come to an away track, your mindset is set up to see what you get when you arrive but at home you should have a consistent track and therefore an intimate knowledge of the track lines to pass or defend position. Our boys don't have that at the minute but they will do. Ty cant buy a start in the Premier or the Elite at the moment but was trying so hard, i'm amazed some of you couldn't see that. If he wasn't trying what was he attempting to do when he took a nasty fall? He could have just sat in the place he was but he didn't. He was attempting to get past another rider! I have every confidence in the team and they will get better and better as the meetings go by. They have not got into a rhythm yet but when they do they will be a solid team home and away. The boys travel huge distances to ride their bikes and win races and the more points, the bigger the pay check! Keep the faith people and keep coming to support our team! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpointfanatic22 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Is Proctor the new Gjedde - now that's the question? In all seriousness how a rider can beat a GP rider one night and then lose to visiting PL reserves on another is beyond me but hey that's speedway. I'm not questioning Ty's commitment to the cause, it's clear the lad wants to do well, however he didn't just miss the start's he got off the start line about 2 seconds later than everyone else which in speedway we all know is a long old time! Credit where it's due, Rye turned up to ride the track and got their set up's right. Plymouth turned up hoping to ride the track they thought they knew but were instead faced with something literally prepared like Hoddesdon is most weeks. For me... Ty - Looking like a poor reserve at the moment and it's not just his gating, he doesn't look remotely fast but that said the lad deserves a chance to put it right - we're only two meetings in after all. Schrammy - Love his attitude, love his commitment - He needs to stay on the bike more often but I can see why fans take him to their hearts. Lemo - Not looking very fast but seemed to get going late on last night - More to come I'm sure. Cory - Brilliant last week, not so good this. If you prepare a slick track you won't see the best of him. Ricky - Not convinced - The Devils management think he's a steal on 6.6, I think he'll do well to maintain that on his first couple of displays but still needs more time. Seems to be half the rider when he misses the gate! Todd - Our best rider so far this season, looking class! Ben - Trying hard and needs time - I hope the promotion stick with him but if the top end continues to faulter he'll come under more and more scrutiny! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Is Proctor the new Gjedde - now that's the question? No way... Gjedde is class On a serious note... Proctor is either taking the urine out of Plymouth or the gulf between the EL/PL really isn't as extreme as what people think. Proctors an all out racer though and cant imagine him giving it any less than 100%, so a weird one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets give the lad half a dozen meetings, then if nothing changes i would have to agree, you can't judge a rider after only two meeting at home for Plymouth, he did show in the Somerset meeting at Plymouth what he can do, but in my opinion your number one rider should be your best rider, but in the three meetings the team has had he hasn't been that, that will have to change if the team wants to do well, but i would think the team manager will know that, but lets give all the riders a chance to get some track time in before we say changes have to be made, i for one am happy with the team that has been put together.
