Sings4Speedway Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 2 minutes ago, ProudtobeaBrummie said: I think your correct guys cant see any potential tail wagging this season . If Layne signs it will be crucial he picks up a minimum 5 points every meeting and increases hes average to 5.5ish Lots of pressure on flint he will need to average around 5.5 also that leaves the two reserves to pick up a couple of points each .. Flint at reserve will fill his boots early on which should hopefully keep his confidence up when he slots into the 1-5. I think much depends on the riding pairings as i suspect the make up of the team will change with Davey @1 soon. Flint @2 Bacon @3 Cupitt @4 Hume @5 looks like a very capable main team but unless the reserves can manage 6 between them i can see a few close loses at home and desperately important with that side not to throw points away.

Although, the top end looks a powerful outfit, especially if Hume goes on to add points to his average, the tail looks a long one and may be our undoing on our travels. Cupitt needs to build on last season's form and one of the other lower end riders needs to make light of their low starting average if we are to be challenging for honours. Pleased to see Davey in the team, but concerned about clashes with Swindon fixtures. But who knows, David Mason may yet have a surprise up his sleeve for one of the remaining team places........... Govier’s packed it in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started well for a couple of months then tailed off. Went two steps forward then three steps back. He seems to be surrounded by a peer group (judging by his Facebook friends) who are the typical "Eye-beef-ah crowd" and his dip in form seems to have coincided with the time his mates were getting Brahms & Liszt and laid in the flesh pots in the sun whilgt he was getting bored washing his bikes at home.I don't think he's got the attitude and determinatioin to progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 So we've signed Luke-Sky Walker, or whatever his name is. This is the National League. What did you expect? Tai Woffinden? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance imo Some people have unrealistic expectations! It might not look like a Birmingham side of 2015 or 2016 but it's not bottom half either as you say. They've even managed to find a guaranteed average improver in that top 3 with Hume. Then with Walker, Flint and Cupitt (presumably) in the side they always have a decent reserve.

Surely Cupitt will not fit now, two three pointers to make up the team. Need two young riders with potential; now where are they going to come from? Still I like the look of the team, maybe not as strong as past teams but should be up there with a challenge for honours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
