i'm not too sure, but since Smith was dropped from his Champ side, does he not come back into league on his most recent ave (Prem converted) i'm sure that's what happened when BWD went from Workington to Peterborough?

Using Jack Smith's premier league average wouldn't alter the fact his average would still be too high      2.00 x 1.3 =2'60            Danny Phillips  average is 2.26 and as Scunthorpe are already over 42.50 limit they have no points to play with.

Give Danny a break he’s come back from nearly a year out with serious injuries and the way the team was set up we would always have a strong reserve and Danny as back up . At the season end if Danny achieves his average or ups it slightly he will have done his job. Just because of a home defeat we’re a no 1 guest put a 2nd string score in and the reserve guest didn’t score a point my advice to you is I’ve watched to many speedway meetings to panic in June , silverware is fished out in September/October

”So don’t panic Mr Manering”

Okay I have been pretty patient and not panicking but enough is enough, you can show loyalty and show blind loyalty, there is better out there in the national league. I didnt expect anything more that 2 pts from him but how we are at present with guests dropping points all over the place, we have a chance to do something. I dont know what average some of the riders step up into the CL from the NL but there is Flint, Kemp, Brennan etc who are winning races. Phillips isnt winning races even in the NL.

No disrespect intended but another season in the NL will do him good, he is not ready for the chamionship yet.

Both Flint and Kemp are still 15 and not old enough to ride in the Championship

Thats aside from the fact they may already be destined elsewhere when they are.......

I realise his last average was up on where he started and yes its not his fault we are losing, that is for sure mainly due to guests but I just looked at the ALL HOME matches this season

6. Danny Phillips - 1', 0, F/X, 0, 1, 0 = 2+1

6. Danny Phillips 1, 2, 0, 0, 0 = 3

6. Danny Phillips 0, 0, 0, 0 = 0

6. Danny Phillips : 1, (GM - F/X), F/X, 0, X, 0, F = 1

6. Danny Phillips (2.48) - 1,0,XM(GM-2).0,(GM-3) = 1

6. Danny Phillips - 1, 0, 0, 0 = 1

6. Danny Phillips (2.00) - R,0,0,(GM-1) = 0
 
6. Danny Phillips 1, 0, 0, F, (GM - 2*) = 1
 

Does he not like the track? Lack of confidence or is it machinary, something is definitely up 36 races 9 pts .... averages 1.00 !!

Prior to the Peterborough meeting, Danny only had 4 x 3rd places in 24 races. Has he not got the confidence yet or the settings right. Surely someone should try his bikes to see if that is the problem.

Danny Phillips come into the side on an average just over 2 pts ,the side around him we're going to be the match winners as the way the team started off. He is going into that heat  alongside Gino Manzares on  a 5.8 average and usually against the two opposite reserves generally on averages of 4 pts  . So generally most speedway races I've seen the higher average finishes first ,so we're don't people get behind Danny Phillips and stop bleating he is trying and he will get better he was out last year 9 months so as a spectator I see him trying and that will do for me ps how many of these keyboard warriors rode a speedway bike.    Good Night

Phillips isn’t doing great but if he was swapped and another rider came in, it’s not going to make a huge difference. He might score 3 rather than 2! The problem with the team is the injuries suffered by Worrall & Nielsen with the latter meaning the reserves (with Gino seemingly still suffering) having to take more rides than they should!

At this point I feel I want to pass comment.....Danny Phillips returned  to the sport after a serious injury.on  a 2 pt average. It fitted in the team we had. The lad is doing well in his come back. Don't blame him for our loss. Its not his fault. We went tonight to Lakeside with a weak side. Missing Stevie 9pt av. and Stephen 7pt . That's 16 pts short. David Howe as guest   6pt  av. Do the maths were missing out on 10pt av. Its injuries which is hurting us badly. The team was good at the start of the season. I am so disappointed you wouldn't believe ! BUT its not D Phillips fault  Give the kid a break!

I know its not Phillips fault and I realise he has lost confidence from when we were flying with mainly a full team but I was just pointing out that something is wrong at home, there must be some improvement from riding the same track 7 times this season were others have not seen it once. I did suggest 3 riders and it looks like 2 of them are 15 years old (Kemp/Flint) and 1 maybe too high an average (brennan). With what I have pointed out, is that there is something wrong, probably same with Bickley, he is either the same or worse in the CL but he does score well in the NL, Phillips doesnt even do that. I am sorry but I dont know the answer to this conumdrum and I wouldnt like to be in Robs shoes to try and sort it.

Like I said I do think the issue is with guests not remotely scoring anything like what Worral/Nielsen would, as for Phillips, somebody please help him.

Good morning!! 36 races around Scuni. and only 9 points scored. By now I would have expected at least 3 points a meeting,  which is not out of the way considering his experience in the National League,
