diamond_ren Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Woffinden, Cook, Worrall and Bridger for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I dont see what all the fuss is about . I don't see too much difference between Kennett , Barker or Bridger . All average EL riders not good enough at World level . So it didn't really matter which one was picked . The inclusion of the blessed Cookie is to be welcomed , with the hope that he can take the step up a level or two .

Panthers89 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Cant say I'm surprised by the team, I think the head for me said that team, but the heart wanted Richie for Eddy. Ah well though, still support them, as lets face it, difficult task anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 When push comes to shove Kennett can't mix it. Major bottler. TeamGB is all about passion & hunger & that's something Bridger, Barker & Worrall have in abundance. Â Any of those 3 should be ahead of both Kennett & King who's similar to Kennett. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBee Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Can't wait to see Kennett show his class and cut back against any rider in front of him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Joke decision, but hey what does Middlo know about British riders? Not as though he watches many at Poole is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 You have to laugh, I am no fan of Kennett but the names put forward instead of him are laughable ....and the end of the day he's is the best of a bad bunch . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigbo Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 If anything Harris is the dubious call on 2013 form. Kennett is far from world class but the options are limited. We're not going to win it so may as well have chucked Worrall in too, particularly at Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 You have to laugh, I am no fan of Kennett but the names put forward instead of him are laughable ....and the end of the day he's is the best of a bad bunch . on current form he is so far behind Barker! Ben giving 110% round the boards at Lynn or Kennett hmm tricky one! Middlo has bottled it simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â In what way? Â Can't wait to see Kennett at Prague. Getting right up on his handlebars entering the corners and killing any momentum whilst everyone else goes sailing round him or pulls further away. Â Would rather see Screeny.

A ORLOV Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Am surprised Worrall not in team at KL, his scores at his track that track have been getting better. I would have had Worrall instead of Harris at Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_ren Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Why we insist on sticking with Harris only god knows fair enough he pulls out a decent ride now n then in the world cup but hes on a downward spiral and has been for the last 2/3 in all honesty a mean no disrespect to Doyle but with how weak the elite is and he cant beat Danny King or Jason Doyle to number 1 in the averages.... Just shocking! Would rather pick Worrall, Cook and Barker even might not get the points but you know they wouldn't lack the effort. Just everyones in love with Harris don't see it personally hes shocking! still living off his Cardiff gp win and the ride in the elite final 2010? Pathetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â And who going to better ? Kennett is about the same as Barker and King, as I said I no fan of him but for people to be so outraged over a choice that will hardly any difference is laughable ...my school of thought would have been to look forward and put Worrall in but as I said Kennett getting the nod it's hardly a choice worthy of the outrage . Â As for Prague as nearly all speedway fans know it's a gate and Go track with very passing so I doubt your see anyone sailing past anyone .

Mr Blobby Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Tai, Bomber and cookie were always going to be in the team IMO. Â The last place for me would have been between Worrall, Kennett, King and Barker and whoever was in the best form leading up to the event would get the place and on current form I would of said Barker but Middlo seems to think otherwise. Either way i'm going to back the team and hopefully they can all put on a performance and do GB proud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 And who going to better ?

As you say, about the same but Kennett is a bottler when it comes the big occasion. Just look at his heat 15 record in the EL. Why do you think his EL average swings from 6.5 to 8 every season? It's because he has a season as a teams top 2 ride and has to ride in heat 15, then a season as 3rd heatleader so doesn't have to ride in heat 15.... what has he ever done in the SWC? What he has ever done outside of the UK? Kennett will never amount to anything. I don't believe Barker will either but Worrall stands half a chance, Bridger has had some good meeting in Poland and King has had some decent meetings in Sweden in the past. I would have give Worrall chance just to see what it's all about and see what he has to do to actually complete with the big boys. no good giving Kennett another chance to fail. i wouldn't have bothered with Harris either. We're finishing 3rd at Lynn whoever rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what he has done outside the uk has to with a match that is taking place in the uk you lost me on that one ..you can pick the bones out of Kennett ,Barker and King's speedway but the bottom line is they are all average around the same and I expect would score about the same not very many . As I said like most I would have gone with Worrall but there is hardly anyone who's a lot better than Kennett who should be in his place. A much of a muchness imo .

Â Â I would agree with all of that except I think that Kennet rather than Worrall is the right choice out of an average bunch. If you put Worrall, Barker or anyone else in place of Kennet its not going to make the difference between second and third, unless someone else has some terrible luck on the night so almost certainly we will go into the race-off. If Kennett, the most logical choice performs reasonably well, then ok he keeps his place for the race-off, but if he flops then replace him with Bridger, Barker or whoever. I suppose you could also say replace Harris or Cook for the race-off if they are out of their depth. Kennett is about 26 now so he deserves this chance and if he flops then that's the end of the road for him, I know SCB says he will flop anyway but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.
