Chris Harris you had to feel for him last night the effort was there but he looked so slow.He must of made changes and give Musielak one hell of a scrap  he tried everything then later on in the  meeting he has two falls in one race.The first was bunching on the first bend then he was involved in a horrific crash with Nick Morris/Scott all got up god knows how.? The rerun then begun and Chris is first at the starting gate amazing last night showed why i am such an admirer of Bomber takes his knocks comes back for more for  me a real racer i hope he gets his machine issues sorted out soon.

His scores this season have been completely unacceptable for a rider of his experience  Stop making crap excuses. We'll swap for Morris if your such an admirer.

Maybe you need to try and understand the reasons why? you are more and likely  not interested in them but surely you see he was trying last night and as a supporter in my eyes that is all you can ask.As a example at Swindon there has been some  moans and groans about Bellego at times this year and look at  him last night he was on fire.In speedway now there are fine lines between doing well and just falling short.

Have to agree thought things were bad but ..........    think we need a wholesale rethink of the team - not going to say who I would drop but (and I don't know about the averages) I would be talking to Tai / Freddie Lindgren  Ricky Wells and James Shanes - many more matches with this team and our season is over - we could have actually won our match at Poole last week but failed to use the TR when we had the chance (quite simple really do you want to see Summers and KK have 4 rides each or Summers 3 and KK 5)- expected to lose at Swindon but last night was a complete disaster (to actually say that we stand a chance of winning on aggregate on Wed  well what can one say?)

Agree has to be at least 4/5 Changes; James Shanes hates RH always has done so he is a no go. Would love to see Wells back. Dont think BMR have the ambition, crowds or backing to get Tai/Freddie unfortunately.

Wouldn't say it's a lack of ambition but nobody has seemingly taught our promotion how to build a winning team. Sign riders who will improve their averages. 

Who would Wells replace? Anyone other than Kennett and it's a like for like signing and won't actually mean much. I don't see him putting his average up.

What is more unacceptable to me is the amount of money he will be taking home from these meetings,Dirk Turpin springs to mind.

Ben forget about averages someone putting two on his average that will guarantee nothing. A team is like a jigsaw and team spirit means one hell of alot too you can have two riders who are popular with the fans always average six mixed in with some fresh blood youth that scenario can work to.Poole this year are a fine example at least four of there riders should of improved  there averages it has not happened has it for some reason for me it it is a myth about having to have improving riders  yes it helps but having a Balance is the answer.

It's pie in the Sky,expensive Pie no doubt,you can't fault his effort in a meeting but his excuses are getting tiresome.

I have not heard any excuses from him Harris have you ? last night KK was a disgrace yet he escapes hardly any flak he scored more than Harris but his attitude of oh well if i am behind let's give up and pull up was a real kick in the teeth certainly for Rye fans.

While there is more when you dig deeper, the simple formula for building a winning speedway team is to sign the team that will improve the most. 

Poole may be struggling a little at the moment but when you do as well as they do as regularly as they do it goes to show that their model for running the show is the right one. If a rider has no use to them then he goes. I still expect them to turn it around this season too, us at Rye on the other hand, I'm not so sure. KK fell in our lap last season, if he hadn't we would have finished near the bottom, the team wasn't improved in the winter and now we're doing just as poorly as we did pre-KK last term.

I actually want Rye to improve because they are good for the league and it was great that they come up.Now i believe is the right time to think about one big league as things now are getting pretty desperate and i know there would be a problem with the number of riders but i believe teams could be pretty near together  strength wise.For me building a team you have to think of the year after as well at Swindon we have done that pretty well.Continuity is something i like in a team and i would like to think again next year  the team will be built around Morris,Musielak, Batchelor,Ellis, Zach W anyway hope things improve for Rye.
