mdmc82 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm sure Howarth is still due to miss 5 home meetings & 2 away (could be more now due to toGB under 21 team & if PL team make play offs) I'm sure Howarth is still due to miss 5 home meetings & 2 away (could be more now due to toGB under 21 team & if PL team make play offs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan jr Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Think Hansen may be the weak link, for Coventry to have any chance of the play offs they need another heatleader, bit harsh to get rid so soon imo but imagine he was signed mainly for his love of brandon and was expected to rack up some big points there, for one reason or another that hasn't happened and the bees can't continue with 4 second string riders and only 1 heatleader.

Perhaps Kenneth needs a proper racing surface like he remembers when he last rode there ..Same can be said for Bomber ... and probably the rest of the Bees team .. You need a little home advantage & a chance to overtake . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan jr Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Well he was the standout rider for Coventry at Poole on the TV! Yes he was, maybe Coventry should be on the tv more then ! My thoughts are overall Hansen has been slighty weaker than other bees riders and a change should be made to strengthen. I dont see them replacing harris or howarth and fisher has been pretty steady, like I said its his home form which is the worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanr1 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Why did we sign a rider that misses a third of the season??? Couldn't agree more... It's a shame because he's looked a good rider when he's been available. I believe we will miss Garrity a few times too. I'm sure other teams will be feeling the same frustration, the doubling up system is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbee Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Then sort the track out!I don't think the tracks a problem Steve we are just not good enough fans are useing the track as an excuse put more dirt on and it won't make a lot of difference in My opinion 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Why did we sign a rider that misses a third of the season??? i totaly understand where your coming from but its been happening to prem league teams for years now its a lot more of a fair deal the club who owns the riders contract gets first choice too many rules have been biassed towards the elite leagues favour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club assets get first choice, as it should be. No point grumbling if PL clubs are selling their assets and then moaning they cant use them first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan jr Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Then sort the track out! I agree the dirt on the track is a problem but a rider must learn to adapt to different conditions,. I also have nothing to do with the track prep so sorting it may be tricky !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I agree the dirt on the track is a problem but a rider must learn to adapt to different conditions,. I also have nothing to do with the track prep so sorting it may be tricky !! Kings Lynn last night was a borefest, no real passing after first three quarters of a lap... Just looked slick as a board.. no shale on the track for riders to use to attack, especially on the outside, the riders with the quicker bikes and gating skills had a huge advantage.... In my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmiler Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Been seeing a few comments about it being ridiculous for some fans to call for changes already, and whilst I like every rider in our team, if this management are serious about this season it should be done before it's too late. Larsen is available and we can fit him in for either Fisher or Harris, as much as I love having Ryan in the team. It's more about numbers. A top three of Andersen, Larsen and Harris is a lot more attractive. It would take pressure off Harris and he may perform a bit better. So yes I feel the changes should come now before it's too late. However I can't see Mick dropping Fisher when he rides for his other team at Peterborough. Kenni Larsen is available and has said he's a phone call away. Opportunity too good to miss.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look at all the riders scores and they are solid and frankly none deserve to be dropped but Larsen is riding very well at the minute and a top 3 of Hans, Larsen and Harris would be one of the best. I think it would also keep Hansen and Howarth as 2nd strings for the whole season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 He was unlucky to only get 5. I wouldn't go with unlucky. But he certainly rode well for them 5 points and is more than capable of a couple more this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
