Is it the Argi Albin

Can only be a 3.00pointer or a 3.05 (Mills average) as Workington's team average is 42.90.

Surely Workington have to drop another rider, 42-90 minus 3-05 is 39-05, leaving only 2-65 to put them back up to the 42-50 limit.

No. Straight replacement, or lesser average, when over the points limit.

Robert Lambert on a 3.00

 

Really wouldn't surprise me

You build to the limit you currently have (42.90 in Workington's case), so if it is a straight replacement it is up to 3.05, Chris's current average.

James Sarjeant or Simon Lambert

Finally it's only taken the best part of two seasons! IMO he should call it a day 30 + and carnt see any improvement in him I'm afraid!

workington are only allowed to sign a 3 point rider even though chris is on a 3.05.

josef tabaka and anton rosen. you work out the averages to fit those 2 in. give you a clue. ones already been dropped. . assuming there will be 2 riders changed. all will become clearer in the next5 days..sleep well.

Shame for him. Seemed to get on well with his team mates. Is he still allowed to guest for Newcastle tomorrow?

You can't fit em both in no matter who the other rider is that's dropped.

Had that air of inevitability this although despite earlier reference in other posts, I had no idea this was going to happen?

 

With the advent of new machinery and optimism at the start of the season I really hoped Chris would kick on and do what he knows he can do and early signs were good but, for some reason, his form has tailed off of late and in a side where inconsistency is rife at the moment, there is no hiding place?

 

Hope he get's fixed up somewhere, possibly even an NL team to get his confidence back would be better than nothing, Best Wishes to him, he is better than he's shown lately and I'm sure that form will come back under more agreeable circumstances!!

[mdmc82]

James Sarjeant or Simon Lambert

Be no point it being Sarjeant, although he is riding well he would always be missing when Coventry are riding same time (which seems to be alot when you look at how often Howarth misses bees fixtures)

[scaramanga]

interesting to see who will come in and will the team be declared in time to ride sheffield thursday

[oldswindonsupporter]

No surprise even if he is a nice bloke and all that, wasn't aware of how old Chris is but if 30 then I would have preferred to have gone with some-one with more potential and improvement, I.e. throw a youngster in. That said, the reserve berths do not seem to be earning enough points, with both Ashley Morris and Chris Mills at 6 and 7 Chris never strong enough to cover Ashley and vice versa imo

nor one would one those a rookie be strong enough unless you had a Steve Worrall / Lewis Kerr. Seems sticking with the pair for so long has possibly cost the Comets points.

 

Just my view!

Now that it has been publicly announced that they have let him go, surely it has to be re-declared for Thursday?

Agree entirely OSS, Morris's lack of points scoring this year cruelly exposed Mills at the bottom end leaving us very weak at crucial times, throw in the technical problems/high av's from the middle order and we were never in a position to move riders around?

Mills has to take the lion's share though, it's his responsibility to ride quicker!!

But re-declare with whom, haven't heard any names yet?

 

Going to have to be pretty careful with this as I've read on here the talk of dropping another rider to get "two" better one's in, probably just talk but if that is on the cards then Comets are going to have to move PDQ to get something sorted for Thursday?
