Reliant Robin Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 26 minutes ago, Gresham78 said: The Robins were off their game last night and it really looked likely at one stage that Rye were going to win it, however they turned it round in the end. If the team can be as below par as they were last night and still win I think it bodes well. In any team sport even the best teams have occasional lapses in form but the top teams can still win even when they're not at their best. I think there may have been a bit of complacency last night but judging by Rosco's demeanor at the post meeting press conference this will get addressed sooner rather than later. One final thought and that is about David Bellego. He seems to becoming the team's whipping boy for sub par performances. Some people seem to forget that David was a a key component in last season's success, a point raised by Rosco himself during the season review. Sure he's not riding as well as he did last year but I'm sure he can pull his form round. We don't want to become like the Pikey's on the south coast and start ditching riders as soon as their form dips. Also worth noting with Bellego last night, the collision in the first staging of heat 3 bent his bike. He realised this after his 2nd ride of the night. Got pulled out of his 3rd one, then went out on an un-bent bike in heat 14 and won comfortably. There's a few inconsistencies in there, but generally I still like the feel of this team and think we'll be pushing for trophies at the end of the season. After last season, I think there are a section of our fans who think we should be winning every meeting, and should be scoring at least 55 at home each time. Entertainment wise, I prefer a meeting like last night to a drubbing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One posts like a multi alias troll does and Crazy Robin panics if we only win by 10 at home so all in all people are behind Bellego. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the multi poster puts out a team change where the suggested reserve is awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you shouldn’t be a member of this forum, God forbid anybody have a difference of opinion. It's just the way you are so fast to want rid of riders, that's all. Before you worry about Bellego, did you know that the lady on turnstile 3 has dropped her average.. At the start of the season she was getting 9 people a minute through her turnstile, a healthy 9 point ave. Shes dropped to a 6 now... We can't carry her any longer...Get rid now !!
