I’m happy Morley is back, I like starkey but he just hasn’t done it this year. Still for me one more change needed .

I’m sure a few Teams would like to make the odd change but given the Averages and riders availability very difficult IMO

Don't think Starkey has ever got really back to the level he was at before breaking both wrists and other hand damage in the British Final pre Covid. 

Great lad and a shame. 

Morley is great round a couple of tracks, dire at most but as others have said supporters want to see home wins anything else is a bonus. 

Turner has been seen at PB a few times with Cribby word is he has bad ligament damage which can be harder to fix than a break 

Trigger is cemented in that team whatever happens and no real 2 point alternative. He needs to be more aggressive in first turns, he is in NDL but seems overwhelmed in CL, a sign of immaturity maybe.

Morley strengthens Plymouth at home. Very good around there. Strake’s heart just didn’t seem to be in it this season. A year too long in the sport for him?

To be honest being an ex Heathen I have always kept an eye out for Starkey's scores he had a poor season last year and I half expected him to call it a day, maybe now all the injuries have finally caught up with him, I think it's his heart that kept him going surely now it's time for his head to rule.

That team needs ripping apart, Howarth and Worrall were never going to score at home like they did for Leicester last year the track isn’t conducive for them if they miss the gate.  The two reserves sink on the away tracks, OK they might nick a win at home if they pop out again showing it’s a gaters paradise.  They really need to drop one of the big heat leaders and possibly Turner and bring something like Batchelor/Dan Thompson or Dillon Ruml as that would enable them to have a decent third heat leader and a lot stronger reserve and be more competitive especially away

D.T is at B'ham!

How about a rider/manager swap....Howarth for Sedgemen ? May for Rogers ? :t:

Well that was hard to watch. Where to from here? Will Garry let the season slip away or will he make the necessary changes. 

It's not up to Garry and never has been, only one person calls all the shots at Plymouth, the promoter. 

But I agree, it's a rip up and start again job if Plymouth want to get anywhere near the playoffs this season. I'd say favourites for wooden spoon on current form.

They are not as bad as Birmingham!

And who tells you that?! 
 

Garry may very much has an input on who   he has in the team and how it’s built
