Nearly threw all the points away.... poor management tactics. I said that time & again last year. At least he booked Howarth as guest (or did he) which won the Brummies the meeting.

Hope Birmingham goes ahead tonight & they get a win because with all the bad luck they've had they need to start turning things around Shanes will be key now he's at no.6, can see him avin sum extra rides. Av a good evening Apparently the TM didn't want to give his in form reserve extra rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect Kennedy to remain at reserve if he scores big each week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanes should've taken one of Pearsons rides! It's a no brainer! You avent got a clue! You always seem to have an opinion - mostly negative I must say - I would really like to know have you ever ridden a speedway bike or even been a team manager? Just curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummies_Ste Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 James Pearson is still only 16years old. He needs as many rides as he can get. I have criticised LR may times in the past about some of his decisions, but i am with him on this one giving JP his 4 races. If the match was in danger of a home defeat it would have been different. Brummies won 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummies won I was waiting for a post about giving Pearson 4 rides and his progression ? WHY ??? is Pearson's development more important than the Clubs success ? Ok, if you want him to have 4 rides....win the match, make sure that the opposition can't get a bonus point and put Pearson in Heat 15 (unless you have to put one of your top scorers in that Heat? I'm not sure of the rules as they change so often....) Edited May 5, 2022 by GiveusaB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummies won Good post personally thought James was in the mix all night and think the experience of been in good positions before losing out can only benefit him. Think the criticism of Laurence is wrong as he was proven right on this occasion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why back the brits when you can fly in and pay for an overseas rider. Not saying Pearson isn't grateful but i bet McGurk would have ripped your arm off for that level of help 45 minutes ago, Brummies_Ste said: James Pearson is still only 16years old.

If the match was in danger of a home defeat it would have been different. Brummies won nobody is questioning his need for rides/progression BUT will Brum see any benefit from that? Chances are the promotion/ supporters are paying for him to ride and learn and once the progression comes he will be off to a bigger paying fish in the pond. The only long term servants of any club these days are those who are track specialists or get no other offers elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made my point and no doubt it will happen again and again and may be again, throughout the season, until we employ a proper speedway manager! (no offence intended towards LR at all....)

The best thing I have read this morning - is you shutting up - we won - we won - be happy we have a team of people making this happen - I wonder if I will ever see you helping at the track? Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
