John Ernest Holland Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 with key injuries to Russia Sweden and aussie teams England should make the final via the playoff but the winners will be Denmark who I think will have the edge on poland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixy230 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Kennet is simply not on form and should not be in the team at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Got to agree with gavan as much as it pains me to say it Everyone has an opinion Pinny that's what it is all about,we will see in the next 3 to 5 years.It will be interesting praying that Lambert is the real deal,myself Michael Lee at aged 16 beat the likes of Wilson and Briggs is by far the best 16 year old i have seen and that includes Ward.

emilali Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 How can Middlo justify Kennets inclusion on current form? Couldnt even dominate at PL level and now struggles to score worthwhile points in the EL. But then Middlo comes out on twitter and says next year he'll put the team selection to a vote to keep everyone happy. Im sorry but as manager he should of picked the team on current form and not his love of Eddie Kennet. Pathetic decisions and Kennet should be replaced now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therefused Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hilarious comments from Middlo on twitter. I think he knows hes made a complete balls up, but Kennett will beat half of the Swedes and Americans so will end up looking good anyway. Bridger over Barker for me as well.

Grand Central Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Middlo also said on Twitter that "his hands are tied for King's Lynn Monday". Â This is usually a term reserved for when one has been forced into something by others. Â In this case Middleditch tied his own hands.

Triple.H. Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Didnt someone post that for the 1st 2 rounds teams had to be announced 2 weeks before and couldnt be changed unless due to injury.Does this mean the Laguta brothers will get bans for refusing to ride.Also today i only fliced through the star and the Poles haven't decided on the 4th rider though that could be for the next round due to my poor speedreading. Why no reserves if you get a rider injured and unable to continue unless you are very lucky you aint going to win. Worst case scenario heat 1 in the final a couple of reruns due to crashes all 4 riders are injured and unable to continue it could end up a very long night as i'm sure FIM rules state a race cannot be awarded.

speedy17 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 There is a serious chance of a Bronze medal up for grabs here.  - Get to the race-off by hook or by crook. - Drop Kennett and maybe even Cook, bring in Barker/Bridger/King - Beat the Aussies - Comfortably beat The Czechs  I only say maybe drop Cook if he struggles a bit at Lynn can't see him pulling up any Tree's at a track like Prague, you need big Engines for a place like that. Hopefully GB do make the final as I'm out there for the final and don't really want to be a Pole/Dane for the night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did change allowed only for injury and sickness. reduced to 4 riders from 5 (and 20 heats from 25 ) was done i believe because the poor prize money split between 4 is better than between 5.

Mark Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 another poor score by Kennett tonight at his home track. it's a worry he'sin such poor form before Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 At Blunsdon tonight Kennett partnered Kildemand to two 5-1's early on, beating Skornicki and Wells and then a poor Scott Nicholls (Wells excluded)..  He then came last, beaten by both Woffinden (no surprise) and Ludvig Lindgren  In heat 14, he fell for no apparent reason having been passed by at least one of the Wolves riders, presumably Thorsell as he won the heat with Skornicki finally finishing third.  Don't want to be too unkind to Ed, but perhaps he should withdraw due to his continuing poor form.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to be too unkind to Ed, but perhaps he should withdraw due to his continuing poor form.. Â I think a trip to a kindly GP for a medical certificate is recommended. There is a distinct possibility that this fall may have aggravated the ankle he injured in 2010. Â One can never be too careful in cases like this and we would all wish him well if he took a week or so out to get fully recovered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His gating at Prague is vital its a bit gate and go but i do agree he needs a quicker engine and lets hope this new one does the job.

SCB Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 TBH, if my nan made the gate at Prague I'd back her to beat anyone over 4 laps. Cook can gate so should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
