rearingtogo Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) The new look Birmingham side in my opinion as a team manager. 1 Nick Morris Captain. 10.13 2 Alfie Bowtell 4.28 3 Dillon Ruml / Aaron Summers / Ricky Wells. 4 Drew Kemp 5 Justin Sedgman 7.04 6 Joe Thompson 7 James Pearson 4.00 number 3 position taken by whoever is available assuming they are willing to race in this country. opinions by anyone please. I’ve bowed to keeping in Pearson as said by a few supporters is average has increased from last year, so he has earned his place. I would have liked to have included Rohan Tungate in the side but I believe his price tag is out of reach even for the premiership clubs.

GiveusaB Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Just for the record....Sedgmen is the Captain .... not that it matters. I think we've missed the boat on suitable signings this season... I'd like to see us contribute to the development of Dan Thompson.

Replacement options boat has mostly sailed now, most of the riders becoming available will be dropped due to form with only the odd victim of numbers like Joe. If Brum are to survive they need a team fans can relate to and support rather than one season wonders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broc could give hints to the Thompsons, Morris to help Bowtell and Sedgey to assist Pearson. Nobody is dreaming of league aspirations but a team to build on over a couple of seasons .....

Are we talking about who we 'should've signed ? Hume has progressed well....he's whole hearted and good to watch....similar endeavour to Danny King. Problem this season is that I haven't seen much grip on the outside and this could affect overall performance as Hume isnt the best gater (IMo) Think I'd take Dan Thompson....both would be great though! Like you say....ones for the future. Instead of a bunch of has-beens/also-rans! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 It does make you wonder how they put this team together? Is it LB or Tolley? Everyone agreed it was a ok team at best. I have to agree with what a few people have already said. They could have atleast signed the Thomson twins, kemp, nicol etc. Even though it wouldn't have won the league, it would be certainly helped the young Brits and make the meetings exciting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound like signing riders is easy. It's great to say him or him but , does that rider want to ride in this country , ride for that club or is asking a Kings randsom to ride. All the riders mentioned may have been asked before the season started but for one reason or another went elsewhere or just simply decided not to.

Either way it's the 2nd season in a row that we've assembled a poor side! And mistakes are made with tactics in most meetings... Which can only point to one thing?

I notice that nobody is filling in gaps with the "James Wright / Tactical Guest" option. Judging by last year, for as long as the current team manager remains in place, so does the Tactical Guest. The BSPZzz allowed the Brummies to field guests all season long for Josh Auty, so by those standards, as long as James Wright keeps feeling less than 100% (or is persuaded to feel less than 100%) I suspect that the tactical guests will keep on getting booked. So, the big question will be, not whether or not there will be changes to the team, but with or without changes, whether there will ever be a 7-man team photo taken this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the kids wouldn't have turned it down. Certainly the twins as they only live half an hour away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules have been changed this year to stop such an event and , the season long use of guests for Kennet, by Plymouth from happening. you can only use guests for the first 28 days then you either sign a replacement or you can use a lesser standard guest, ( up to 75% of the average of the missing rider). this is why Scunthorpe made the changes they recently made as the 28 days facility had ended. It’s why wolves recently issued a press release explaining just this scenario snd how it’s hampering them too our 28 days is now up so we either sign a replacement or use riders with an average of around 4.2, thus making the team weaker. come on Martin , keep up !!!!
