Otherwise I totally agree that Jacob makes us stronger overall, of that I have no doubt. I think that is a more than fair comment Wolfie . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) If Nick can out score what his r/r has been getting then again stronger again .Its looking pretty good for wolves i have to say . Becker has proved me wrong big time made me eat my own words so to speak but thats great. Kyle seems to of hit a bit of a plateau in his career not really kicked on last or this season but still solid enough. Ashley Morris is a concern hopefully he can pick his form up starting tonight for the Brummies. Note to Wolves season ticket holders you get £2.50 off admission at Perry Barr all season if you show your ST on entrance . Sorry my bad all Wolves season ticket holders will get concessions rate which is £2.50 off if your under the age of concession.

I believe Ashley has said a lack of meetings so far this season has made it difficult for him to really get any momentum going. Hopefully he will get a few more meetings in with you guys over the coming weeks. The trouble with Ashley, in my opinion, is the standard of reserve in the top league this year is very good and he has the second lowest average. Points this year are going to be very hard for him.

Was the point I was making earlier Scott to me would do better than Jacob at Foxhall but overall you would have Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob coming back in will really strengthen Wolves now both home and away . Assuming none of those variables in the everyday life of a speedway rider affect him: attitude, form, injury, illness, equipment, pay, travelling, home life etc. They’re not just governed by their averages! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is disputing that overall, just maybe 1 or 2 tracks that Jacob has never raced on. However looking at the bigger picture it is clearly the right move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious stuff. As for the 'never raced' on. I don't buy that argument whatsoever. Especially when it's Foxhall and has changed anyway. Nicholls put in a sub standard display the other night. Thorssell would have to have had a bad night to only have achieved what Nicholls did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Ash was superb for Birmingham last night . His form has really picked up last few meetings 8,10 and 11 hopefully he can carry that over too you boys . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call me wolfie Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Just checked the latest rolling averages including last night's meeting and Jacob is now top of the averages. I was quite shocked to see that we are currently 1.89 below the 42.5 limit, although after 3 successive defeats I guess it's not too surprising. With only 2 meetings before the next official GSA's are issued, home to Peterborough and away at Poole, barring a miracle we will be way under the limit on the 1st July. What would you do to strengthen, if anything? Personally I feel Ashley is a bit out of his depth this year and although I really like him, i would look at replacing him with someone like Jonas B Andersen who I was very impressed with last year. The other option would be a no 1 but who is available and who would we drop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we need do something.Frustrating to see how Ipswich can go to Belle Vue and run them so close when they ride on a similar sized and shaped track too monmore and we carnt get near 40pts at Belle Vue.

BWitcher Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 If a stronger rider is available to replace Ashley Morris then we should do it. Nick Morris needs to start showing some form in the next couple of meetings, he's had a couple to ease back in, now time to start stepping up to the plate. Thorssell being top of the averages doesn't worry me. Whomever drops to No 3 will score big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you have got rid of to sign him? You're probably right there but Cook arguably could've been a solid no1 when you consider the standard of the league nowadays. Masters hasn't been great unfortunately, especially away. I thought he might make the spot his own this season but he hasn't really progressed at all. Bit disappointing really.
