Can't believe we are going to Glasgow with r/r, no Osterguard and M.B Anderson guesting...why not just hand them the win instead.

Because the fixtures were drafted months ago perhaps.

Out of curiosity were is Ulrich.

Continuing the farce that British Speedway has become

Thought that you'd be pleased Rodders? If it was important and efficiently organised the you'd have had Holder back :)

Rather have r/r or even Tim Bungay than Holder  

club supremo Rathbone (yup, YTS doing the ET press) said: “We spoke to Jack who would have fitted in as a replacement for Edward, but there were too many fixture clashes for him to even be able to consider it".

Just think we choose some shocking guests whereas other clubs seem to beat us with their guest choices.. home matches against Sheffield last season and Works this season spring to mind.

It's always hit and miss with guests , every side's supporters have guest horror stories to tell

Aaawww, sorry - instead of being helpful, I've just confused matters instead! Thanks for letting me know.

Should be a couple of interesting and entertaining meetings, and I just hope that the Tigers come out on top in both. B)

How long can this continue? There is no place in a struggling team and Sarjeant scoring 1 from 4, only beating the pointless Bacon in ht2 is pathetic. On the truck at the end he was sitting down cross armed when his team mates were all standing taking the plaudits. The boy looks demoralised and rides like it, its time to end the suffering for everyone. Simon Lambert showed us what a free scoring reserve can do, again.

Had PB had Kennett in place they would have walked us, such is our fragility. Harris's bike problems again reared their head when leading ht4 gifting Lambert the win and was visibly slowing on the last lap of ht15 before packing up on the warm down lap. 

Nicholls was excellent, backed up by Lambert and the wild BWD, who appears to be an accident waiting to happen. Can only see a bit of a pumping on Sunday.

He’s probably more dejected reading the comments on here and on the Glasgow fb Page. He’s struggling for pace that’s obvious to see but comparing him against other reserves that have an average of over 1.5pts more is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. We’ve come up against a very high averaged reserve in our last few meetings - some over 5 points! 

Our team is top heavy and when our top 2 don’t score double figures with solid backup from the middle order then it puts us under severe pressure. 

I’m not saying JS is blameless but expecting him to outscore visiting reserves each week is unrealistic against more balanced teams.

Agreed, James and Jack are always going to struggle against 5 point reserves and they are totally dejected when they dont score points.If  your were going to replace James, it would have to be with someone that has a similar average and what would be the point in that, we know that he can do better, he is a confidence rider and getting pulled back even when he makes a perfect start doesnt give the lad a chance to build his confidence. He beats himself up enough when he doesnt score, without seeing all the negative posts on facebook and forums.
