LagutaRacingFan Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Jepsen Jensen would be a brilliant signing, he's a Wimborne Road track specialist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starting 1-7 were deemed favourites at the start of the season (in Speedway Star) Still don’t understand letting Hans go and Josh has never been this bad and it seems his poor form is rubbing off on Brady.

On all known previous form the team should be favourites but it can still be title contenders with the right changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Middlo in the paper says they will rediscover their form but how long can we Wait and also says Szczepaniak rode well but we can't keep making excuses, a bad ride or two is ok but to score as badly as they are on a regular basis isnt acceptable.

Just maybe to late with this team unless we can get a rider who will score double figure scores each week .

Aces51 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) There's a noticeable difference in the attitudes from fans of different teams. Poole fans seem quick to criticise and want changes as soon as riders go through a bad patch or don't live up to their expectations. Kurtz was a hero, the new superstar and now he is going through a bad patch he is constantly criticised, Josh G is what he is, a good second string, possible third heat leader, he is having a difficult time and so must go, Szczepaniak is not far off his starting average but because he was expected to be far better, a ringer, he must go. At Belle Vue Cook had been going through a difficult time, the fans are loyal and supportive not calling for him to go and if this week is any guide, it seems he may be getting back to form. Drozdz has struggled, not achieving his starting average but again fans are not calling for his head, they can see he is giving 100% and like Cook,. he has had two impressive performance this week. Maybe, just maybe, riders respond better when fans and teams offer encouragement and show loyalty than when they must feel the insecurity of knowing that there is a sword hanging over them.
