They'll give people a chance to pull up their socks but they will change if necessary. Knee jerk reactions solve nothing Eight losses out of nine! A few 'knee jerks' up the rear might solve something! I expect they WILL make changes eventually but it'll all be too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knee jerk reactions solve nothing Knee jerk - anyone who thinks this side is not destined for the wooden spoon unless changes are made, is delusional - at least three of the side should be worried. It would be four with Barker in the firing line if anyone decent was out there to come in, but as it stands he will get off with his poor start which seems to be machinery related - but he needs to sort it out, and quick. As it stands - Busch clearly stays, and the BA brothers are good second stringers if not a bit better but that aside the rest have been woeful and none could complain about being dropped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foamfence Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Before the season started, it was generally considered around this forum that Redcar, Newcastle and Berwick were unlikely to challenge for anything, unless made of wood. Obviously it would be unwise to stretch your finances too far, so there is some excuse for assembling such (on paper) weak sides. Redcar probably looked the best of the bunch but Berwick and Newcastle have had far more success so far, they seem to have gelled their riders into teams, Redcar haven't! Why?

homer Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 The Redcar team was built around Barker being supported by Kus ,allowing MBA and Jordan Stewart time to settle in ,but both Barker and Kus are riding well below their averages putting pressure on the rest of the side , only really Busch who can hold his head up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedcarRacer Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I think if Bukhave goes well on Thursday, he will be in for Pijper - as he is already a club asset and was close to a team place this year anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
