Gemini Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 But that's our problem as five of our team are premier league standard riders hence why we're down with Leicester in the bottom of the league table. So you're saying Danny King is Premier League standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 So you're saying Danny King is Premier League standard? He is EL standard. 3rd heat leader standard at best tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naffer Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 smolinski for garrity imo then when garritys fit replace woryna with him - no brainer Won't fit though Smolinskis last average was 7.56. Smolinski for Garrity from Monday 11th July team average would be 41.07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fliss44 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Sarjeant and Woryna at reserve in the latest averages with Bates in the 1-5. I'm not surprised and will keep my fingers crossed for Josh's sake that he can cope with the 1-5 -- we don't need another rider to lose confidence.

TheSmiler Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think its too late and won't matter what is changed and lets be honest here I can't be the only one who thinks nothing will be done...!!!! Any changes should have been made long ago to give us a realistic chance of making the playoffs instead we have chosen to stay with the four reserves we began with and has proven categorically to be a catastrophic mistake by the management combined with the inconsistency of the three heat leaders it has led to just seven wins this season so far I believe and one of those in a challenge match against Glasgow..!! They have had spare points to play with in the averages all season and what have they done? Answer NOTHING. No effort whatsoever to strengthen which I can only say the that management believe they are happy that what they have is good enough. Well hello heres some news ITS NOT...!!!! In fact it borders on the side of being rubbish. Any of us Coventry supporters that would have liked a half decent team to be assembled in what very much looks like being our last season at Brandon and possibly ever could not have been more disappointed and let down. Going out with a whimper at this rate. Sadly it just looks like Mick is just 'getting it over and done with'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yes It does. Let's hope if we do agree a new lease and Horton stays he shows more determination to put out a competitive side as this one is woeful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbee Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Let's hope we get a new lease and a different promoter heard today there could be a new lease or sale if someone is happy to buy the stadium for what it was purchased for from Sandu Edited July 10, 2016 by kingbee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean no lease if nobody else buys it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Who knows, but fans are becoming massively fed up of Horton but I guess he's better than nothing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Who knows, but fans are becoming massively fed up of Horton but I guess he's better than nothing!! He's almost got it right the last two years. Last year we had a great season and were very unlucky to be hit with injuries to Garrity & JK before play offs. However I'm not sure how he went from that team to this one! Yes the heatleader list caused problems as it meant we could have the 4 he wanted but his reserve picks were terrible.

Just got lucky with having Garrity at reserve the last two seasons IMO, and we only got first pick of him because we were bottom in 2013! Don't be fooled into thinking Horton knows how to build a good team, had we not been lucky in getting Garrity we would have been nowhere in any of his seasons in charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To win you need a good top 2, a good reserve. Then you fill the gaps. IMO we have the good top 2 but we lack the good reserve so we're struggling. Getting a good top 2 and a good reserve means they take 15 rides between them, possibly 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 To be honest its a bit of a myth that Horton doesn't make changes, he's made changes every season so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In signing Joonas and MJJ he has shown he can make bloody good signing if he has to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) In signing Joonas and MJJ he has shown he can make bloody good signing if he has to!Exactly. One of the biggest problems this year is our reserve pick was poor but because a replacement must come from the list, there are no better riders available to make chances there. I think there must be a lack of riders willing to sign as if big names were willing to come over then Poole wouldn't have settled for Pedersen. The problem here is the team he put in place at the start of the season always looked weak. I think Havvy should be given more say.

Havvy probably would have in the winter but his health took priority. We are not far away from a good side. Just that one change needed but its whether we can get riders here. Doesn't help that some fans don't even want a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
