ReadingRacer2017 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) This team was built on the basis that the top 5 need to perform home/away most weeks, that’s not happening. I can’t see anybody performing better than Bellego on his current average. Id consider replacing Musielak with Scott Nicholls possibly.

ReadingRacer2017 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Rosco after tonight’s meeting. Changes imminent?? “I’m in two minds for Thursday at the moment. I’ll make a decision in the morning with regards to what I’ll do. I’ve had a chat with Troy (Batchelor) and Nick (Morris) about a couple of situations. I’ll make a decision on those tomorrow.” Edited July 16, 2018 by ReadingRacer2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Rosco will be doing a rain dance as Thursday could be a rout for Somerset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the change would simply be made (for the sake of the team) and no discussions would be required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingRacer2017 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) So looks like changes are on the horizon. Judging by the fact the manager is discussing team plans with Morris & Batchelor, my guess Musielak, Bellego & Smith could be goners. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/16358050.team-changes-nigh-at-swindon-robins-following-heavy-defeat-against-wolverhampton/ http://www.swindonrobins.co/_mobile/news.php?extend.3139.1 Edited July 16, 2018 by ReadingRacer2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen that, think his average would convert down to 2.17 (if it’s 60% of his chanpionship average). Would give 5 to replace Bellego as I don’t think we can use RR with so many matches coming up.

DC2 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 There’s no way we should drop anyone, other than perhaps Jack Smith as he is not an asset and has not performed well enough. The only thing we need to do is replace Bellego if he will be out for injury for longer than we can manage. We should stick by all the other riders and show some loyalty, regardless of how that affects our chances of winning the title this year. I do not want to adopt Poole’s approach of buying the title with mercenary journeymen who have no connection with Swindon. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those are the only changes we will make, we've lots of matches coming up so IF Bellego is out injured I don't think we can carry RR. A 28 day replacement would be a better options IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only redeclare or change individual riders with another with a lower average. Edited July 17, 2018 by Steve Shovlar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might that be this week’s change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
