Well I don't know where to start..... I'm absolutely disgusted with and amazed at what I have just watched. 8 points up and still can't win. Surely someone must take responsibility for the under performing team. The manager ??? The riders (well some of them) ??? Or even the promotion ??? I know everybody has their own views but mine is quite simple.... If you don't perform you lose your job that's what happens in all other work places. The most disappointing thing this season has been the lack of team riding from the witches..... Tun gate is the worst offender (heat 13 I'll say no more). Why are we still running R/R? Is it the cheep option? One last thing.... If I hear that we've got a good team on paper one more time I think I might do something regretful. Anyway rant over..... Come on the witches!

I've made that very point myself before about underperforming . In my job if im not up to scratch I'll get warned , if im still not doing the right thing I might get a second warning if im lucky then i would be gone !

 

With the team we have we should be doing much better at home and at some point a difficult decision needs to be made to let a rider or two go , will the promotion have the balls to make that decision , probably not !

8 up with 4 to go, can only be the riders, you cant possibly blame the promotion or Manager for that. Danny gets his first bad gate of the season and Rohan stops him making progress. Then as the track isn't prepared like it has been, when Nico fails to make the gate he can't do what he's been doing all season and win 12 & 14.

As for R/R, I can't see there's another rider sitting at home waiting for a call who could do better.

Felt sorry for Nico last night , ok he's not the best gater in the team so what he lacks in gating he makes up for in effort he puts in and he skill at finding the dirt and grip to pass.

But last night no matter how hard he tried the track just didn't give him the grip , such a shame as he's been the most exciting rider in the team at home this season with his ability to come from the back .

I think one of the biggest problems is we have a vast amount of fans that will Happily put up with any rubbish and defend it to the hilt.

We know it wont happen yet (if at all), but the mood on the terraces is certainly that a couple should go sooner rather than later. Once the play offs are out of reach here's hoping something is done with a view to next season. But this time last season we were calling for a couple to be dropped, only for them to turn it around and finish the season strongly. Obviously changes are down to finances, is there any money in the bank to make changes?

We all know a rider has to be awful before changes are made. Chris stays very loyal and sometimes it pays off when the rider rediscovers his form. But I just hope when the play offs are out of reach, then we'll hopefully bring in a young Dane with a view to next season.

If Chris was a hard nosed businessman who was in it for his own glory, then he'd probably wield the axe, but it can't be easy sacking your mates. We should remember, Chris never really wanted this gig, if anyone else had offered to take over from John, he'd have said "take it". He could see this sport can only go one way, and it isn't up. Maybe that's the reason not that many fans moan all the time, unlike many other Towns, at least we've still got a track.

double edged sword this one.

 

Can see what you say in that that loyalty could mean that there is less urgency

 

of course it also means (hopefully) that the club is more stable than most and therefore not at risk as those that attract only a few hundred are.
