So if he's correct, you shouldn't be concerned by another away performance that he fails to score in ;). Just be glad theres speedway, thats the only thing they want people to be concerned with, not how dross the team is. Does Mr Barrie come on here, he has spent most of the last few years via his programme column telling us he doesn't. You`ll be telling us next he has multi usernames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Impressed by Jacob tonight... Improved in every ride and you could clearly see the confidence and speed building up throughout the night... Looks like he's going to be a decent reserve eventually Messed up his first ride after hitting Flint and nearly coming off himself... After that he got better... Bit more track experience needed I think... Should gave gone out in second half with Ondrej and Josh to get a bit more track time under his belt... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were there with Jacob tonight and he had a few issues with his starts, so his mechanic changed the sprocket and some other changes and as you say it went better for him. It was nice to hear the fans shouting for him and talking to him after the meeting. First home meeting, so hope it goes better for him as he needs a chance to ride for a team here and hopefully score more. My first time at Brough Park and enjoyed the night and good to see some familiar faces there. I'm glad the management are giving him a chance with no pressure so he can get settled.

Yes, I had noticed he got pretty filled in... Was trying to take a tear off off his goggles and just clipped Leon's back wheel... Was unlucky, he looked quick after that, got chance to ride the track by himself for a few laps then flew past Leon on I think the last lap, impressive rides considering how little experience he has there... Looked nice in Heat 14 too, not too far away Sounded pretty professional and all about the fans in his interview too, here's hoping Jacob can stay a while First impressions are good On a side note, I know it doesn't make up much, but I thought Danny rode well last night, won the reserves race comfortably with a dodgy throttle and picked up another point, was unlucky to come off in his 3rd ride when he was trying to pass around the outside, good night Danny, thought it needed pointing out as some people, including me, point out your negatives a lot... And of course, Matty Wethers, 2019s hero, that's all I'm gonna say Sign him up for 2020 George QUICK!! How was Ondrej Smetana? Normally hang around for second halves but had to run last night straight after heat 15... Shame as I've seen him ride once before and he looked quite nice, I assume someone in the North is up for signing him in the coming days, Redcar or Berwick maybe?

Agree, Danny seemed to have a bit more fire in him last night, and was unlucky to come down when going for a big outside blast. I think Smetana looked ok, if that was his first sight of Brough. How about, TJ and Lasse out and Bewley and Smetana in ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thank you, Bewley would be an obvious upgrade, but if Smetana was just faster than Josh around Brough our til would get even longer... With one of either Ondrej or Jacob having to be in the main body, at the same time as Max too... Also Bewley would be on close to a 10 point average... Maybe a straight swap, Danny for Smetana... But not TJ AND Lasse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5 I would think, not dropping any lower than a 4? Think that's the rules anyway... I know but if he was just a little bit quicker than Josh, no offence he wouldn't be up to much in the Championship... I mean I know it's his first laps around a very difficult track... But we need something a bit more than that to turn our season around... Might make an ok number 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I'd rather wait a couple weeks to see if someone like Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen, is dropped by Berwick and say NBJ and (Wilko or Hume - if not signing for Birmingham like rumoured) in and (Lasse or TJ) and Danny out... Leaving 1. Steve Worrall 2. Max Clegg 3. Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen/Lasse Bjerre 4. Matthew Wethers 5. Thomas Jorgensen/Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen 6. Carl Wilkinson/Danyon Hume 7.

A think Bewley would come in on a 10.25, but that would change after a while, but hey, we could probly use Cookie as a guest if need be.

That's true, but I assume if he'd had it a few days he's tuned it to his personal preferences... Handle bar positions and such... Not saying he'd be awful, just not the kickstart we need imo, still looked pretty decent around Redcar That imo is way too high for the amount we'd have to sacrifice to get him in... You mean Cookie on his 11.01 average? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
