It' like he's moved up to a new level but needs to get used to that level and stop falling off. I think there's a lot of good things to come from PK in the future. This falling off thing is a bit of a phase I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalkie Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) At last the justification for Batchelor's performance last night (from the British Speedway promoters Association website):- "I know a lot of people will be quick to get on Troy Batchelor’s back because he had an awful night. He has been blighted by injuries, the track wasn’t to his liking and you could quite clearly see he just wasn’t up for it.” Oh God, does this mean Rosco would consider him again next year?

Well if your number 1 and captain can't get up for a semi final where you need to be on it from heat 1 then why on earth would Rosco even consider him for next year. I think those comments will only annoy people even more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those comments will only annoy people even more. Quite agree, it was the "he just wasn’t up for it" that really got my goat. The bloke is a total nob (Batchelor that is.) Oh hang on-maybe I meant Rosco-how can he defend an attitude like that from a professional sportsman, let alone your team Captain? Absolutely beyond belief that he was runner up in the Czech Golden Helmet the day before. Perhaps there was a dodgy Czech sausage in there somewhere too. (Mind you they are 'orrible, I can vouch for that as the catering in Pardubice is not wonderful!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noggin Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 If Batchelor is only up for it when conditions are perfect, I suggest he tries a different career, hardly ever happens, it didn't stop Nick last night who's also had injuries from putting in a fighting performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ok average wise he isn't our top rider but you know what I mean! You expect the captain to lead by example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishRoundabout Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Didn't the great Ivan Mauger say a big part of being a speedway rider is mental strength. You really have to question the mental strength of both Batchelor and Kiildemand. Batchelor not up for a semi final then delivers a disgraceful performance ( as he did at Poole earlier this season, at Leicester and a couple of times at Swindon with single figure scores) and Kildemand has fallen more times than Tommy Allen in his short spell back with us. Get shot of them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbee Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Just proves how Swindon relied on Darcy Ward they would not of made the playoffs with out him Kildemand not in the same class Edited September 22, 2015 by kingbee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get shot of them both. I've got no issues with Killer's first fall last night. He's a racer and there was no point sitting in on a 3-3 when we were so far behind. We all love to watch him to blast around the outside so just gotta accept that he is the definition of rubbish or bust!!! Sometimes it will go wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batchelor however ..... Would agree that Killer just needs to calm down a bit, if he stays on his bike he can beat many and he is still improving. Anyway if he was not signed I would have to change my picture again. He was really gutted last night at coming off and he started the demolition of the changing room door after he came off, he has also apologised to the fans on twitter, something not seen from Troy. Troy was awful last night and after a few heats I even stopped filling in the prog. His ride in heat 1 told me what to expect from him for the rest of the night and it turned out to be correct. The rest of the team did well after the track settled down, especially Nick, Charles and Zengi. I would be happy to have those three back in the team next year along side Jason Doyle. I would also agree with others that have said that the two semis should be on separate nights as the meeting was stop and start and in the cold it was not enjoyable.

Aces51 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I think Kildermand's problem lies with his peripheral vision. He keeps thinking someone is within a couple of metres of him and takes a dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
