Rye House V Ipswich 20 April League Cup


Recommended Posts

Well Simon still doesn't look too comfortable on a bike around Kent, yes he is scoring well but then again there was very little to beat yesterday. I hope he comes good as i like him a lot but i fear the clock is ticking even with the ultra patient Len in charge. If the right rider on the right average is available then i think a change will be made

Seems Rambo Lambo can score freely for Kent, but struggles for Rye. Maybe too good for National League but not good enough for Premier League. It does seem a strange one.

Huge difference between the PL & NL. SImon can gate, no doubt, but in the NL you're rarely gonna be passed unless you make a bad mistake. On Sunday he looked like a man under pressure and just waiting for an Ipswich rider to go under him, which happened on a couple of occasions on the 4th bend.

If anything it'll be Simon that decides enough is enough and step down, like last year when he returned from his ankle injury too soon.

I can only recall Silver "sacking" a rider in recent times, Kurt Shields. The others were replaced due to injury, or in Jordan Framptons case because he has basically had enough. Unless anyone can remember another?

Is funny how the tall riders have so much more difficulty in riding Rye than the shorter boys. Riders like Ashley Pullen and Trevor O'Brien were made to look so much better in a similar way to Jason Garrity when on song. No doubt that Simon is in the side to boost the points on the bigger away tracks, so far only Peterborough of the big tracks have been visited and he didn't really impress there. Trouble is the way the team is set up you simply cannot afford to have anyone struggling. The other worry for me is that we are putting far too much pressure on Luke Bowen who is having to have six or seven rides home or away. Yes he is revelling in it at the moment but over time it takes its toll. Simon will continue to pick up more points in both the EL and NL than with us and the only difference in Lens mind if he replaced Simon might be the fact that Simon will continue to have a fair few meetings if he wasn't in the PL.

I think you have hit the nail on the head with Simon, seems Jason can score points for Coventry but not for us!!!

They're both mostly racing against NL standard riders in the EL
