I was like.....Why on earth would anyone make that journey just to see a mauling. Speedway fans. Some will support their club no matter what, other just want to see as much Speedway as possible. Both should be applauded imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it's early days, can can still reach his average this season. No one said he should but he started last season as a reserve progression is to have a season at SS fhen onto HL , he needed to be paired this season with an experienced HL like NKI or Holder if he had joined to get the best from him but now the added expectation on him comes with the pressure he doesnt seem to deal with yet , when he went to #1 at Glasgow last season his performances dropped a bit as well , he's got the talent to get there but its better for him to progress at a steady pace IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepanthernotred Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 On the subject of basso not handling the pressure…. My take on it is he was heavily relied upon last year and for what, us too finish bottom, would you seriously go out there putting it all on the line for us too and up with the wooden spoon because you are part of a p*ss poor team, because I know I wouldn’t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a weak team more of him is expected than he can deliver, and as a young upcoming (and very talented) rider he can't be expected to score big in every match. Yep fair enough but he didn't finish ahead of a BV rider last night and that's not good enough for a rider if his talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasureboy60 Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 If Chapman cared for our club then he would sell now but he doesn't and he's happy for it to go to the wall. Despicable man who is everything wrong with Speedway and why it's going to the dogs ! Fans should make their voices heard at the next home meeting aimed at the man who's destroying their club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 As Rob Lyon said he told them he shouldn't be a heat leader at the start of season 2 to take the pressure off but wasn't listened too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz I don’t To clarify I said Ben Cook isn't what we need now if it's our final season, we're essentially developing an Aussie for someone else. He's done fine but a really free scoring reserve he's not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done fine but a really free scoring reserve he's not yet. Still essentially punishing one of the few that’s put in some steady performances. And too your point, Craig cook isn’t a free scoring rider, who knows what he’s capable of from one meeting too the next, don’t need another unpredictable rider in a team full of unpredictable riders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW436 Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Ben Cook over Craig Cook any day of the week, if that change was made then they most certainly have lost the plot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip flop between the two as it stands. I've got no interest in giving Buster another penny of my money but I'll gladly turn up every week if Tomalin owned the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) This team is just as competitive as KL, Leicester and Wolves and it would resolve all of our current team issues. 1. Matej Zagar 2. Craig Cook 3. Rohan Tungate 4. Ben Basso 5. Niels-Kristian Iversen 6. Ben Cook 7.
