Its not done his speedway career any good all these grass track crashes but i suppose he earns significant sums on the grass / long tracks especially abroad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Luckily (used lightly) its just concussion, so mandatory absence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly doesn't make us stronger....Shanes is better than Nielsen atm. Not much in it between Ash/James. P.s More importantly...Hope James is ok and wish him a speedy recovery! Birmingham might not be 6 points down though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 We should beat Birmingham whether Shanseys riding or not. No excuses to not get three points on Wednesday. Having said that, last year I expected us to win an we were never close to it. We lost Stefan to an horrendous crash and the boys were never on it after that. Track then was very poor and ref came down to inspect with ongoing track work all evening. Heard it’s a lot better since then. Best wished to James Shanes on a speedy recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then it wouldn't matter who took 'Shanes' ride.....and I hope this is the case. But the likelihood is that by Heat 10, we will be 6 or more points behind. Just trying to be constructive with the 'use' of 'who' and when.....might be worth using Morris in Heat 1 because he can beat Worrall no problem. Use the 'weakest' option when up against 'King' ..... obviously Rogers knows his riders better than me and knows the best time of how and when to use them. (I hope...) These decisions are what can win matches IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummies_Ste Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 BIRMINGHAM: Claus Vissing, James Shanes R/R, Josh Auty, Ashley Morris, Adam Ellis, Stefan Nielsen, James Pearson.

Use the 'weakest' option when up against 'King' I'm not convinced Morris would beat Worrall "no problem" 3 times out of 5 my money would be on Worrall. Generally with R/R at 2 a reserve gets that ride to give them advantage going into the reserve race that follows. Why 'King'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....I agree with your summisation about Morris v worrall....I also agree about using a reserve in Heat (I put that in an earlier thread...) As for using weakest option against King? I think that's a no brainer because he will beat all of B'ham riders apart from may be 'Ellis' (if Ellis gates....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
