You are correct.....some just like to continue harping on about needing a change without offering up any potential solutions....certainly none I have seen that would be of any benefit.

Christmas is coming, see if you can get the Mrs to buy you a half full glass this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now Klindt is in the main body then RR will score more than he would. Riss wont score as much as the other Dane but against our reserves away Woryna on his own will be enough. But of course we will get the against all odds victory report from Shov at the end of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was supposed to be no riders last season as well but look what difference Tobias made. If it means having to make 2 changes to get a better reserve in then that should be looked at. Only Adam & Troy should have no worries about getting replaced as they’ve more than done their jobs. Nick, David & to a lesser degree Tobias have been inconsistent all season & couldn’t argue if they were let go with Jack. Better to try to change than accept what’s happened in the last 9 away meetings. Only an opinion just like the rest of you but come on there is some good points made.

There must be riders whose teams are not in the Swedish or Polish play off reckoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these riders don't want to race here. Too costly to send another set up over here, especially for 6 meeting's. Musielak had half a season or so. Rosco has said that if someone comes up with a name & is available to let him know. Edited August 6, 2018 by hyabb17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comments & guess money comes into it as well. That said missing out on the play offs will also cost money if that happens which does look likely unless form changes. Just sick of having at best a 6 man team all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact we tried to sign Auty or Robson for 28 days to replace Bellego says it all about the riders that are out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Good news, if it’s true, that Stefan Nielsen returns for Scunthorpe next week. Rosco did ask for suggestions about replacing Jack Smith so here’s one: replace Smith and Wajtknecht (CL combined average of 8.48) with Stefan Nielsen and James Sarjeant (CL combined average of 11.31). Not saying we should do it, but it is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering hes had to carry the burden of being the main reserve in his 2nd top league season and on the back of a bad injury hes done f'in well I reckon.
