Bit of a left field one here but we could drop Simon Lambert for Auty and Macdonald for Kinsley. In my opinion Kinsley really deserves a championship spot he’s smashing the national league and was thrown into an impossible job with Kings Lynn

Ellis average drops from 9.74 to 7.92 from 1st of august.......

Straight swap Theo Pijper for Josh Auty, might be harsh on Theo but I think it would make us stronger.

Yeah as much as it’s an interesting option Theo has been brilliant and has put a lot on his average and doesn’t deserved to be dropped

Ellis average was expected to drop but he was brought in for his away scoring which he has done. It is just his home scoring which could improve & see him nearer 8.5.

Pijper has done an awesome job & has increased his initial average by 1.06 which does not include 17 bonus points protecting his partner in front. Aarnio & Jorgensen, by contrast, have increased by 0.05 & 0.43 respectively.

While Auty was struggling with set ups with the new tyres, admitted by Peet, Lambert was scoring more than expected reaching above 6(an increase on around 1 point) but his scoring has been lowered, slightly, riding with a true no1, which, no offence to Auty who is still a heat leader but not at no1. Also, Lambert has been an excellent captain with team spirit probably as high as never been seen.

For me Piper stays  , you only have to watch him looking after his team mate who ever is in the race  .

if Josh wants to come back racing I think it will be away from the EWR 

Yeah I feel like he did leave under a bit of a storm as well so think it is unlikely

Even though it was sad & painful for some, I think it was for the right reasons.

If he didn't get his head around the set up issue before, whose to say he would on his return. His injury to his neck might be more serious than we all know so his confidence will have really taken a blow.

There was no fall out Josh just had a few things going on in his life that he needed to sort and Speedway was getting in the way...

However Josh may be back sooner than you think...

There are a few clubs sniffing around Josh but I wouldn't rule out Scunny for sure but forgive me if I bite my tongue on that one for now...

Not had a drop of the old Red yet saving that for tomorrow... and I would say you are right Rob God fully knows the situation with Josh... and I know a couple of clubs who have made approaches and Josh has declined... 

However there has been a little "to do" at Newcastle airport tonight which I am sure Rob God will share with you all tomorrow if the weather does not intervene that may have resulted in Rob God possibly having to make a call... however all is well now... so panic over....

No it's forecast 13mm of rain tomorrow down your way an whilst 2 3 or 4mm of rain can be coped with anything over that and it's curtains...

If you get what's forecast I wouldn't be surprised if there was an early call off...
