New Rider For Sheffield


Recommended Posts

We now need Albin to start scoring some point's. Everyone says he needed to be at reserve well now's his chance.

This is his chance I must agree, however I think he needs to realise this himself. I really like the guy, love his attitude and commitment, but (IMO) he just seems to be trying too hard of late, especially after they put him at 5.

Seems to chase back wheels too much and in the Berwick meeting thought he was going to collect one of their riders (think it was David Bellego) on three occasions before pushing him out of the way from the inside of the 4th bend. Then look what happened in heat 13! Don't like seeing riders get hurt, especially if it's not their fault and it's caused by the reckless riding of others.

Riding at reserve should give him the opportunity to build some confidence, especially at home and help him find the best places & times, to attempt passing.

This little fella's got loads of potential and I'd love to see him achieve it.

Just when things appeared to be looking up Simon breaks his leg in three places and looks like he'll be out for the rest of the season. Must get a replacement and quick, but who you ask? Well on his average perhaps we could look to the Elite league, anyone there that could double up, or if Berwick want to keep Kennett they could release Ricky and then we could have two convalescing riders in our line up.

The galling thing is this happened whilst Simon was putting in some practice laps, can't believe it!!!!

I very much doubt that Sheffield have a replacement line up just yet.

 

I think they will want to take their time over a replacement and as already stated they will have luxury of the pick of virtually any rider from the league.

 

I think that you can rule out it been a Swedish rider as they ride in Sweden on Thursdays.

 

But it is a hammer blow for the club as Steady is not only the number 1 but our captain and the heart beat of the team.

 

Get Well Soon Skipper.

Not going to be easy to replace steady,no rush due to lack of league fixtures.May as well go with guests next week for semi v Newcastle.Cant see us beating them anyway,but we must sort the league form.Just hope we don't look for a cheap and cheerful option as I cant see steady being cheap.
