Argos Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Any update on Callum Walkers “Sickness Bug” that hebsuffered after Flint had is accident,as this will have an effect on the result, Although I’m sure he will be asked to remain “Sick” to allow Bossman to book a ringer for Flint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GiveusaB Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Personally, I'm hoping for a couple of new signings this week? Carr/Embleton ? However, I think Carr will struggle for a couple of weeks, till he blows the cobwebs off ? You can't just turn up and ride these days....you've got to add the 'physical fitness' regime in to your preparation if you want to have any chance of being successful.!

StephenMiller Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Update from club website :- Quote BIRMINGHAM have added Josh Embleton to their ranks - and boss Laurence Rogers is backing him to make an impression at reserve. The 22-year-old replaces Jamie Sealey and will make his debut in Wednesday’s Perry Barr clash with Kent (August 8, 7.30). Embleton had a brief spell with Stoke but left the Loomer Road club last week. And boss Rogers admits the Brummies moved quickly after discovering that news. “Jamie had not long come back from nine weeks off the bike and he’s still struggling,” Rogers said. “That was evident in his riding and I think it will be a while before he is properly match fit again. “We were looking at making another change down at reserve and as soon as we heard Josh had left Stoke, David (Mason - co-owner) and I wasted no time in contacting him. “Josh is a rider who has made steady progress, particularly in the last 12 months, and if he can settle somewhere then I think he has got the potential to go quite far. “Hopefully that will be with Birmingham and we’re hopeful that he can make a bit of a difference down at reserve. “He’s an asset of Championship side Newcastle and their promoter George English is a wily, shrewd character so that says something about Josh in itself. “He’s already ridden at Perry Barr once this season and scored four paid six while guesting for the Isle of Wight. “So we are quietly confident he can build on that and more importantly we think he and Sheldon (Davies) can form a good partnership at reserve. “Sheldon has got a lot of spirit and a lot of promise and if Josh can come in and just do his best then I think those two could work really well together at six and seven.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GiveusaB Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Josh rode well for IOW back in May and should've been signed straight after that meeting, especially after learning that he was a free agent at the time...way better than Butcher/Sealey/Davies (no disrespect intended). Good luck and welcome to the 'Brummies' Josh ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to Callum and hoping he starts to feel better soon, but from a team strength point of view, it's the best that could happen for us. However, I can't stick Danny Ayres (guesting tomorrow)! Ben Morley on Sunday gets my vote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GiveusaB Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Will Kent be allowed a guest rider for Boxall ? I hope so, otherwise it could be a one sided affair, especially with Stoneman ruled out also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Stoneman is a big blow to Kents hopes of getting a result at Brum he was bang on form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Stoneman's loss will be a massive blow ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GiveusaB Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm predicting a last heat decider, although the acquisition of Drew Kemp will swing this one in our favour imo ! Exciting ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting ! Id like to think your prediction is wrong, but i have to agree especially with a top 3 like that . Even Cradley couldn't have picked a better heat leader trio!

teaboy279 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I think this has the potential to be a mauling if I am honest, apart from heat 2 and 8 Brum will have at least 1 heat leader in every race. Thomas should be good for around 12-15 points, The engine room of Rowe and Hampshire have performed above and beyond this season, but 6 rides against tougher riders away from home is a big ask, something I have every faith they can do but don't want to put any pressure of expectation on them for this. The reserves match up quite well, Spooner has been great and picked up points not expected of him and Couzins looked far better then many reserves in his appearance for Kent Monday. That leaves Perks who on Monday looked sensational and dare I say too good for the league. He interacted with the Kent fans well Monday as all his wins were applauded generously, so hopefully he will be 100 percent committed tonight. Kent have had very limited luck with guest number 1s over the years. Not seen a forecast but hope weather is set fair for the number of fans travelling up. With so much talent on either side a bit of rub of the green either way could swing this. The Kent boys have risen to everything thrown at them recently, and with so many young heads, Jack Thomas himself no veteran has galvanised the team unit and the composure of everyone has been a joy to watch. Gutted I can't go myself as whatever the score, with the riders on show there will be some entertaining racing pretty much garunteed. As a Kent fan if you offered me a league point now, I would take that and stick it in the bank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GiveusaB Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 It's never easy when you're hoping and relying on 3 'big' hitters as opposed to a nicely balanced side like Kent have! Rowe/Hampshire/Spooner are all capable of out scoring their counterparts.... Thomas/Perks are capable of beating our top 3 if they get the gate ? I think this has the makings of 'meeting' of the season ! (if it doesn't rain?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
