IronScorpion Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) One match does not prove he is fit or "race fit". I have, also, heard he is asking for different terms & conditions from when he first signed. An option to sign Mellgren would mean one would have to go. Although still not race fit in his head, possibly, due to incidents in the Scorps v Newcastle meeting(just my opinion), Birks could be the change but it would be tight when the new averages come out. The new look would then be Mellgren, Klindt, Auty, Douglas, Howe, Jorgensen, Williamson. A very potent team.

scunny1 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Birks is more of a team player, David Howe looked well miffed with his whole team and management all night at Sheffield on Thursday. I would leave Birks in and let Howe go myself, if averages fit . Edited June 17, 2014 by scunny1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Nice to see you still come out with some cr a p!! Please enlighten me on which bit is cr a p? It is just talk, whispers or what we see! Is it, also, cr a p that after seeing Josh & David square up with "handbags", which led to them being split up & later Ash & Jorgy. We have seen them race each other through out this season because of the non payment of bonus points that most teams are adhering to but, & I have posted this before, it would do nothing for team spirit. Just an opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratton Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Decision time for scunny, with Mellgren scoring a max in a Swedish division 1 match, although it was a against Swedish youngsters it shows he is fit to ride. With no word on whether Klindt will be extending his 28 day contract it could be a straight swop, but I hope not Klindt would be a massive loss. Scunny could also bring Mellgren in for either Auty or Birks but I doubt this would happen. To me Scunny look a good team but not league winners I think we need a bit more firepower away from home. I would not get rid of anyone to keep Klindt, he is decent but he is one of the most frustrating riders i have seen in the last 5 years.If Mellgren comes back to a decent level, i am sure Auty, Birks,Jorgensen will improve i would stick to that line up.

thebaron Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I would not get rid of anyone to keep Klindt, he is decent but he is one of the most frustrating riders i have seen in the last 5 years.If Mellgren comes back to a decent level, i am sure Auty, Birks,Jorgensen will improve i would stick to that line up. Get rid of Klindt? just cannot see Rob taking that option; with Nicolai the 'form jockey' right now. But with Mellgren showing he could be fit, it is a real conundum for the management this. Can Anders come in and not be restrained by his injury?, Ash had a similar injury and although at times it does not look like it; there are times where he might have to reign himself in to keep safe. He is though doing great and it would be a tough call to sideline the captain. At Sheffield last week he rode his preverbial 'nuts off' for 3pts and generally is where he might expect to be given the serious injury he had. So to have Anders back having to ride 'within himself' as well might not be the best decision. Especially if Klindt makes way, effectively weakening us. That said Rob indicated from the off that if Nicolai got a EL ride again (now with Leicester) he would not stand in his way. But I am sure Nicolai will want to continue to double up - who doesn't these days. So squeezing Anders back in is no easy deal. Tommy might have made way; but after that blistering show at Sheffield last week I would be shocked. That's the sort of reserve everyone wants to have; and gives us a strong 1-6 which is how we set up. Ryan's non-negotiable; Matt is flame proof on a 3pt average. Which then leaves Josh and David. Seems impossible to think either would be stood down (I am sure they've moved on over any differences). Rob has only just secured Josh on a full Scorps deal!; fair enough his form has not been that of 2013 but he's still a PL No1 for goodness sake. For the life of me I cannot see Rob; parting ways with David; he's actually having a good season with some solid scoring, and has the ability (as with his full home max recently, of posting double figures home and away). You know what; I am finding it hard to make case for changing it; we can definitely make the Play-offs with our current 1-7 and then it could be 2012 replayed. For sure the management have a headache over Mellgrens return (a nice one really) and which ever way the dice rolls we know 8 into 7 don't go. Rather them than me. Whatever we keep backing the team.
