pete cc Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 ooH You would all be spitting out your dummies if this was Poole (Matt Ford) having PK at reserve.He won't be there long but Wolves are just using the current rules like everybody else does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 PK hasn't replaced a FTR something many don't seem to understand. PK has replaced Bech who isn't wasn't a FTR. It just so happens have his average is lower than Howarth who IS a FTR. The joke would be allowing the reserves to stay in that position for ever more meaning any progress is meaningless when not facing stronger riders. The joke is the BSPA for rushing thru the rules on FTR getting true averages yet leaving them with inflated averages due to still having 2 protected rides. Â Kurtz, Pedersen, Klindt, Woryna have or are due to ride in reserve NOT because they are FTR. The joke is that Howarth is an FTR but that's not Wolves fault.

stevebrum Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 The joke is that Howarth is an FTR but that's not Wolves fault. That's debatable and I take your point. Howarth is still young enough to benefit however the line between those that should qualify and those that shouldn't is very blurred. The wrong thing is leaving promising British riders without an EL place if they want it. And Howarth isn't even the top averaged FTR! Time for a rethink on the system with better planning required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Science Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 The draft was designed to bring riders on and progress but all thats happening is riders are scoring for fun in reserve then struggling when going up, denting their confidence and then dropping back down again. Â Garrity had the right idea (for himself, maybe not his team) by riding in the 1-5 and look at his progress now, another level above most of the reserves (Steve Worrall apart) Agree . Coventry would be top of the league if Garrity had started at reserve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Agree . Coventry would be top of the league if Garrity had started at reserveI think that would depend on who they had signed in the top 5 as the extra second string. ..but for sure they would be a lot stronger. And fact is garritty would have got to spend plenty of time in the top 5 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 No fault of Wolves and well done to Pete Adams for getting in PK. But the rules are nonsense. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Agree . Coventry would be top of the league if Garrity had started at reserve  They could have helped themselves anyway by signing a rider up to the points limit instead of Woryna. That is more of an issue than Garrity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Agree . Coventry would be top of the league if Garrity had started at reserve He is doing well in the top 5 so he was right that he could cope there. However starting at reserve & then moving up would have made us a lot stronger. Our reserve riders are more like tier 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 They could have helped themselves anyway by signing a rider up to the points limit instead of Woryna. That is more of an issue than Garrity.Not arguing with that, but in the long term (if one can debate in such terms given the current worries over Coventry) Woryna could be something hot for the Bees. I quite accept that the focus of Coventry fans is naturally a lot shorter than that this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I expected much more from Garrity and thought he would be pushing King for a heat leader spot at the very least. He is doing his job though, often beats reserves and holds his own against other second strings and beats the odd heat leader now and then. Â Having said that, I was quite supportive of Michael Palm Toft who I felt did well in the top five for Belle Vue and Garrity isn't too far behind his final Aces average so he can't be that bad after all. Â I didn't expect to be justifying how good Garrity is by saying he is nearly as good as MPT though. He's been scoring more than his 5 average in most meetings which is good. As well as reserves he's also beaten quite a lot of main riders including Doyle, Nicholls, Cook, Bridger, Andersen, Buzz, PK, Kylmakorpi, Masters.

stevebrum Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Agree . Coventry would be top of the league if Garrity had started at reserve Really? Even with Garrity at reserve not sure the top 5 is strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Really? Even with Garrity at reserve not sure the top 5 is strong enough.Theres only a top 4 of Garritt was in reserve. You honestly think that Stead, PK or some other 6.5 rider replacing Bates on the 1-5 wouldn't make Coventry stronger?

Gemini Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Not arguing with that, but in the long term (if one can debate in such terms given the current worries over Coventry) Woryna could be something hot for the Bees. I quite accept that the focus of Coventry fans is naturally a lot shorter than that this season. Trouble is if he does reach the 'hot' stage he will be off to Poole so that wouldn't be any benefit to Coventry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HahahahahaAnd of course there would have then been the option of waiting til woryna had a spell at reserve then replacing with a bjerre type rider. Not that bees would strengthen so sensibly of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King as H/l is an issue. Woryna is a weak signing compared with the amount of points you had spare. Assuming you couldn't find a suitable rider with the points spare and signed Woryna instead you suddenly assume there is another suitable rider to fill the place of Garrity. Hahahaha. PK was never an option as he has already said in press he wouldn't ride for anyone but Wolves . So given how easy you're suggestion when are you making this season changing move then?? Hahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob VDS Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yep, MPT scored more than his 5 point average (who works out the averages anyway?) and he used to beat main riders as well! Â I think you've got a good one there and if he turns out as good as MPT then all the better, but still a little way to go. At least he's got age and brains on his side compared to when MPT rode for Belle Vue. Brains? 😎😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
