If he suddenly drops down,i would sack him.

Why would you sack him? He openly said at the start of the season that he would get his average down to enable him to double up

At this stage of the season it would be almost impossible fro Sheffield not to finish in the top 4 and therefore make the play offs....then the season starts properly

troy is just not a number 1.  next year he will be back as 2nd heat leader and score well again. 

Just to see him try a little bit harder would be nice, but there's no effort, unless he gates and gets infront. We might as well have had Auty, he can't gate and usually has to try and pass!

This is normal for Batch.  He excels when there is a #1 in the team but when he has to step up - he seems to have a mental block.  Keep the faith - he will come good and could be a trump card in the play offs.

In that case he should look at this years averages for Sheffield. He is currently 5th, behind Holder, Ellis Howarth and Pickering.

We only need him to score about 6 points maximum per match to outscore Batchelor

He hasn’t proven to score well at all in the top flight, there is a reason why he is largely overlooked in the top flight.

I think this is the case for most heat leaders/2nd strings that move to no1 as heat 1 favours the inside line(both teams no2's if they gate) & rides against mainly heat leaders(no1 & no5 twice & 3/4 once) & not the easier rides against 2nd string & reserves. Jorgensen, for example, is not as free scoring as he was earlier this season.

I said that at the start of the season, likes Sheffield and good entertainment value.

You aren't the only one who has said this... Cant understand why Ben wasn't picked up at the start of the season... would have been moot anyway because of his hand injury at the Newcastle P&P however he's back firing on all cylinders now (well one good one anyway) and its nuts that someone hasn't give him a go... there are a few Prem clubs that seem to be weak at the bottom end and Ben slots in on a very reasonable average (5.42)...

Like I said "Nuts" as he could do a job that is for sure... and improve any team in the league...

I would replace Batchelor now, if he wants to lower his average fine, go do it for someone else, Sheffield no doubt pay him good money regardless of what he scores on the night, they are entitled to better.

He is ripping Sheffield and the fans off and will then go back to Swindon next year on a nice reduced average.

Batch’s lowered average should balance out Adam Ellis’ increased average when they both return (hopefully)

Why would he want to lower his average ? this is his only job .. Do people think before they put stuff down ?

If he did lower his average it would enable him to ride in the championship and have many more meetings and opportunities to earn. 
I do think in this case it’s more to do with riding far less than most other riders.
