Coventry 2015

It's funny how views change! Fans of elite league teams viewed Darcy Ward as a rider they disliked a lot, he then has the incident at the GP and gets banned. Loads of fans want him banned from anything from two years to the rest of his career excluding the Pirates fans who in the main supported him. Yet now he seems like the saviour to loads of teams who all want him to ride for them!!!!

I think you've got that wrong - he is no saviour. However, he is available and wants to ride in the UK unlike many other riders in Europe.

 

While I think he is a talent on a speedway bike, I would have Hans every time over Ward.

My views haven't changed. I would rather not make the play offs than have a low life like Ward in my team.

Coventry wont go for Ward , Hans Andersen has had a dip in form over the last few weeks as Holder did the month before ..it happens . The bloke also has had a couple of poor meetings riding abroad team & individual so the " come & get me Swindon " theory is taters as well aint it !! Stick by your riders , sure by the end of this month it will be somebody else's turn for the elbow .. Still reckon the 18/1 I have got on the Bees is a great bet !!

Robbo saved the day? Did you see who he beat? Wozniak, Hall and Greenwood before beating Doyle in heat 15. Between Wozniak, Hall and Greenwood they didn't beat a single Bees rider who finished a race.

 

The other thing is why replace Hans and Harris when we know they can do better and who do you replace them with? There are no 7-9 point riders (Ward aside) available. Yet Robbo is not going to get better, he has got gradually worse for the last 10 season. He is what he is now, a 4.5 second string. And you're looking at one meeting for Robbo. Lets take his last 5 scores before thatr, 0,5,4,3,3. Are they really any better than what Hans and Bomber have been producing? No way.

 

Bring in a 6.5 rider for Robbo and 6.5 riders at second string tend to score 8 and 9 points a meeting (see King and Kylmos scores while at #4 this season) rather than the 4.8 that Robbo scores, thats 4 exta points for us 4 less for the opposition.

 

Hans has been poor most of the year, Harris lacklustre in the last few months but Robbo has been naff all season and doesn't have the class of the other two to turn it around. Not when you consider there ARE 6-6.5 riders out there to replace him if the management REALLY want them. Ok to save a few quid stick with Robbo until the end of July, we're still going to make the play-offs but at the end of July we need to make a change so we're good for the play-offs (I say end of July and no team changed are allowed in August or September)

The difference between Robbo and Andersen against Leicester was clear, Robbo bust a gut for his points and Andersen couldn't be arsed.

It's going around that ward could indeed be heading to bees very soon. Maybe Andersen to Swindon?

thats not what I've heard. There is a rider swapping between Cov and Swindon though - but not that one.

 

A few Bees fans would be happy too after a few posts on here in the last few days ;)

 

I just can't see Ward signing for Coventry.

Somebody also said not long ago in twitter that they had inside news that he was going to Lakeside.

Zengi

Who would he swap for?

There's only Robson I wouldn't mind swapping him for. Would be mad to replace any of the others esp when fans are happy with them and scoring well. We are top of the league so why do we need anymore changes?

 

As people have commented, they have all been told different so best to wait and see instead of believing different rumours.
