Which would leave 4.66 for another rider....does that strengthen us? Who’s available on that figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chun Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Wolves were there for the taking tonight but the witches threw it away. Gifted an early lead they could not hold their nerve when put under the slightest pressure. Adams didn’t look a gift horse in the mouth by bring in masters as an early tactical in heat 5 which allowed the remaining rr rides to be filled without having to call upon the reserves. Hawkins use of heeps in heat 10 rather than Allen was somewhat mystifying as it meant he couldn’t go in ht14. All in all a massively disappointing night for the witches who could easily have run wolves very close. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought the conversion rate was 1.3 so for sure looks a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellioth4 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 What a superb result for the Wolves lads this evening after losing it in the first 4 heats by 6 points, to be in the lead by 2 by the end of heat 8. Wolves got 3 5-1’s in a row to be 10 points ahead by Heat 10, held on well in the last few to win 50-40. Superb performance by Nicholls, Masters and Schlein to get 34 points between them. Becker tried hard too, just had some track troubles tonight, pushed hard in all of the races. Wolves management have a tricky decision to make now whether to keep Nicholls or have Thorssell back. Personally I would keep Nicholls and have Thorssell temp until Nick is fit. Superb meeting after missing last week, 2 weeks till the next Wolves one now. thanks to everyone who followed the updates tonight, BBC WM for providing commentary and Islander for updating us and Belle Vue pc side at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 The trouble is Heeps & Allen won’t be at reserve for long with their scoring, so Bellego and another will be which will weaken us if they don’t pull their fingers out. Is Bellego sulking again after losing his fourth ride again on Thursday, because if he is get shot of straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 The outside gates are an absolute graveyard at monmore, especially early on. Bellego had gates 3 and 4 first up and was then replaced in his 3rd ride so likely by the time it came to his mandatory third ride he probably wasn’t feeling it. That said I agree with other posters that he looks out of his depth on the smaller circuits. Both him and Lawson need to go if we want to compete. The pole and King both looked ok tonight.

Baldyman Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) He isn't sulking,,, he just isnt any good on anything but a big track,,, his previous score at wolves was also zero. He was always going to be pants and he should have gone before the averages changed. Can you see matt Ford keeping him if he was doing the same for them. Only seven teams this year,, a good couple of changes and we are serious challengers,,,, let's not waste the opportunity,,, we might not get another. Having said all of that,,, it's not my club or my money or my ambition on the line,,,, so I'm happy to have a club.

Fromafar Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Arch Stanton said: Problem with Bellego is he’s a 6 pointer, and that average was majorly inflated by scoring heavily around Swindon last season, a track which itself has ironically been made smaller. He’s dire on small tracks and that’s a huge problem. I know it’s early, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and admit a mistake was made and correct it. Bellego has always been the same ,like Berge ,when he can’t be as#ed he doesn’t try a leg,a waste of space.Mind on Poland most weeks.He returns decent scores there most of the time.

You really can’t carry passengers in this league and when you have a rider scoring next to nothing on most tracks then you’re in trouble to start with. Particularly when that rider is a second string! If Bellego swaps places with Allen or Heeps in the near future and is still struggling with most tracks which is likely, then we lose the one thing that would have kept this team competitive and that’s strong reserves. As I said yesterday, need to bite the bullet and make a change IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I heard from a reliable source yesterday that Nick has been told by his doctor not to ride until his bone is fully healed otherwise he risks irrepairable damage. It is likely to be some time in June before it is fully healed so something needs to be done, as you say, bring in Jacob as cover for Nick and take it from there.

It has to be Jacob it's a no brainer Nicholls hasn't been that brilliant and wouldn't expect him to keep it up. Jacob will be a 8+ rider Nicholls won't.You can't bring Jacob in as a replacement for Morris as his average is higher and he is in the original declared 1-7 & Nicholls is a temporary replacement, Nicholls could be a temporary replacement for Morris to save using R/R if Jacob is back 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott has been ok and probably better than expected. He has top scored twice out of 6 official meetings. And without looking is probably our highest overall average. But I wouldn’t want to keep him ahead of Jacob. His rolling average has increased to 6.51 so can still be a temporary replacement to Nick if it was agreed before the 1st May effective changes.

I still can’t see how Wolves have a facility for a rider that hasn’t ridden for them and no signs of him making an appearance anytime soon.
