stevebrum Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Wouldn't Wednesday nights clash with the Danish League? With regard to clashing with the Danish league, doesn't seem to have been a problem for Poole. Or kings Lynn. If you fancy kicking out Freddie Lindgren, we'll take him at Coventry next season. He'll make a nice second string with Hans Andersen If we have to suffer yet another season of an underperforming number one think there is as much chance as Tai and Piotr going anyway, or nil chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 If you fancy kicking out Freddie Lindgren, we'll take him at Coventry next season. He'll make a nice second string with Hans Andersen To be honest his UK form this year is inexplicable. He is not old, he knows the tracks and set-ups, he has been at top top rider for Wolves. He wants be in the UK unlike other riders, so exactly what is going on ? Bemusement doesn't begin to describe it. Wolves probably wouldn't run on Wednesday as it clashes with Birmingham and Cradley. Wolves closed down in 1982/1983 and I went to one speedway meeting at Birmingham as a mate asked me. I imagine I am like the vast majority of speedway fans, it is your team or nothing. So, no, I wouldn't see a problem running against Birmingham. I don't think Wolves fans are keeping Birmingham afloat! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bemusement doesn't begin to describe it. I think its mostly in the head. Under this system it doesn't take much to have a bad meeting. A rider can then start questioning themselves, making changes on setups that aren't required, changing things that perhaps don't need changing.. losing more and more confidence as things get worse in each race. Then, they drop to second string, have some easier races, start to win and suddenly they are a different rider again. Fred hasn't dropped that far.. yet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R87 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Not at all. It has absolutely nothing to do with picking the team mainly from the asset base or not. It has EVERYTHING to do with picking the correct riders on the correct averages. Just bringing in 3 or 4 new faces will do nothing if the same mistakes are made in team building. Quite a few of our assets are a tad past their sell by date. There's a staleness about the place at all levels. Added to a promotion who are set in their ways in terms promoting, team building and race tactics, it's difficult to see much light at the end of the tunnel.

More likely to pick up ex GP riders like Andersen or Batchelor (if he misses the cut) but they need to get more strength in the top end and hope the format changes to the old 2013 one or a new balanced set up with less protection on lower riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you so to Lakeside and Swindons number 1 didnt score a point in 2 meetings. BVs is off the boil but more on it that Lindgren and Hans. I think Bwitcher may be onto something, it's too easy to have a bad ride and then not have easy ride to sort things out in and it just spirals.

Perhaps paying just points money ( instead of guarenteed minimum points whatever they score) might bring there confidence back , also might stop all riders coasting round at the back when in last. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO I think that every rider starts a race think he is going to score some points but with the way races have become in recent years hero to zero is a fine line.I think that on some occassions riders do give up but what is the use of risking life and limb in a hopeless situation .I watched Tai in one race a Cardiff where he was dead last and coasting but as we all know when he had the chance he gave it his all.The nature of the sport at the moment IMO with slick tracks engine power being too great means that the chances of close racing and passing are at an all time low.I am not on a70's they were the best years trip merely saying it as I see it ,every rider now has a peak and dip at least once a season .The days of number 1 riders being unbeaten at home all season are a thing of the past .Harris could do no right at the start of this season now he is having a purple patch ,how long will it last?.`The format is tough for heat leaders and many are feeling the heat I think the league Freddie rode in last is a lot different to the one he is in now.There are no easy heats for h/leaders if your having bad night it is hard to pick it up,in the old days you swap gates with your partner and the format was far more forgiving than todays .Confidence is everything to a rider and if his head is not right and has belief in himself and machinery is not there then wins slip away .IMO PK and Freddie will come good as I have said we have to expect dips(PK) and allowances for major adjustment (Freddie) as part of the sport today.

E I Addio Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Perhaps paying just points money ( instead of guarenteed minimum points whatever they score) might bring there confidence back , also might stop all riders coasting round at the back when in last. According to Jon Cook he was only on points money, not a guarantee when he bombed when guesting for Lakeside (5 points) so easy money was not the reason for a bad night there. The trouble is the GP's chew you up and spit you out if you are not on top of it and Fred has not really looked the same rider to me since he failed to make the grade in the GP's. It shocked me that he didn't do himself justice in the GP's so it must have shocked him and knocked his confidence when he failed to make the cut last time The problem is that although he is not old his chances of getting back in the GP's will get slimmer with each passing year and he won't be given any more wild cards. So the question really is what has he got left to aim for ? At 29 will he ever get his old form back ? I hope he does because he has been real class in the past but it must be open to question now. It's certainly a funny old sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
