Charlieboy Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 7 hours ago, False dawn said: Agreed 100%. But I think Kyle Howarth deserves a mention too. He also represented (quite well I thought) your good selves and my temporary team in Leicester Kyle rode very well aswell. Shame he had the fall. He seems more aggressive this year and I think that might be because his shoulder is stronger and he’s not trying to protect it as much as he had previously. Hope both lads keep up their form for the rest of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been incredibly tentative all year and that’s not the same as simply not trying. Not for the first time last week he got himself into a decent position in one heat but he couldn’t bring himself to drop it onto the visiting rider and block his run. At Kings Lynn I saw him ride like he didn’t know the track, at Peterborough he was miles off the pace, as he has been at Sheffield for the most part, at Wolverhampton he was rapid out of the gate and got stuck in, and he’s scoring points for Kent - as he should do. My point is, you can’t say it’s definitely rustiness, or confidence, his personal life, or his equipment. It could be all the above, but I genuinely don’t think it’s that he simply can’t be arsed. I actually hope we stick with him for the rest of the season and he gets his mojo back and comes back strong for us next season. I think he would agree he owes us one. Trouble is he is doing well for Kent, so getting zero for Sheffield the other night was strange as the leagues are pretty close together now. I thought it was cos he got sacked.

OdsalBoy Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Bellego for Batch would be a good move, haven't heard much of Bellego lately where is he riding now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice sentiment, and I believe that if Batchelor and Bates both came back, and did what they are capable of, would have a great chance of winning the play offs. In reality, don't think we will see the best from either of them this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batch 9+1 at Kent tonight. Was on a max after his 2 first heats. No excuses imo. See what he does Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS50 Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 No new signing announced. Presume it would need to have happened by now to be effective for this Thursdays match. Pity, because a win, and would nearly be certain for play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
