stevebrum Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Surely now it’s time to make changes?? Dropping out the top 4 and still getting very little away is now costing us. Obviously it’s going to depend on who is available and wants to come but I seriously hope the management are now looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team was never good enough from the start, it was clearly built to just win home meetings. The fact they are surprised that it's failed to win away all season really is a bit odd.

Hard to see what we can do. We seem to have missed the boat again. Not much room for manoeuvre - can't see any of the top 3 being dropped although Jacob's form has been in and out and Rory seems to have hit a lull in scoring - quite worrying as he looks likely to be number one in the new averages. Would be tough on Howarth but he might have to be dropped with Heeps to allow for some scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is he dropped to reserve and I guess they thought he may score decent points there. It really hasn't worked for him but the trouble is his average is so low now that our only hope is he suddenly finds his form again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) After last night we might as well see if Bacon wants the gig once Nathan has recovered, at least he was putting in some effort. As others have said the horse has bolted, the 'we're waiting to see how the removal of the Rye House scores affects the averages' comment was a load of gollox to keep the easily pleased happy. As much as we laugh at Ford for chopping, changing and showing bugger all loyalty, at least he's trying to do more than win home matches & scrape into the playoffs. After doing a great job the last couple of years CVS has resorted to type, 'do sod all, the season will soon be over'.

The fact they are surprised that it's failed to win away all season really is a bit odd. I tend to disagree that the team on paper looked a top 4 team and whilst we have very little to show from our away performances we have in the vast majority of meetings stormed into a pretty strong lead before capitulating in the 2nd half. That to me shows capabilities of winning away but then either failing to react to track changes or conditions to lose that promising start to meetings. I believed all along we were a top 4 looking side but Heeps has been the biggest let down whilst Schlein has perhaps been the biggest surprise. Whilst it would be wrong on someone like Howarth to get the push if there was a chance to bring someone like Piotr Pawlicki in his place and maybe Bacon for Heeps I’ve no idea if that would work points wise, it would be silly to not make that move now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawlicki on 8.00 and a 2.00 rider would be under the limit and while he has had a mixed season, maybe some extra meetings may help him get back on form but you also have the likes of Kenneth Bjerre or Peter Kildemand more likely and can win races away which has been a problem for Wolves on away tracks. Heeps has has been the big let down as he came in as a five plus rider that needed to be pushing six to seven but is struggling to maintain a four average and his recent high scores were mainly gained by beating weak reserves To make the play offs Wolves need to really win two of their remaining away meetings especially when you see Belle Vue still have to go to Leicester and a win there would put Wolves down to sixth place in a league of just seven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
