Hes clearly got a lot better from last season so should be stuck with. Nielsen is a crazy signing , never seen much in him and spends more time sat on his arse than Jim Royle. Proctor was worth a gamble , sadly it hasnt paid off. Shame as i really liked him back in the day , he was a class rider. But probably the right thing to drop him. morris is a class act but with him on a 10 pt ave, any meeting he struggles in and theres no chance of a Brum win. Its an awfully built side.

Is it just wishful thinking on your behalf? I wouldnt call it wishful thinking, as I dont think J.T would improve us in anyway....but I'd much rather pay to watch him give it his all, over a rider that's passed his best and gives up after 2 laps!

Wee Eck Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 4 hours ago, the hobbit said: Auty came in on around a 7 average but was scoring way below that. He looked slow snd well past his sell by date. When he got injured, we benefitted by guests on his initial average as he was due a new , lower average very soon after he was injured. He was performing at the level of a poor reserve. Not surprised no one has offered him a place on his current average. How many meetings did he do? I could only find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware of that - but I could only find one other home Birmingham meeting in which he rode in 2022 (which ended after heat 10, so Josh only had 3 rides). I was querying why he was being called “dreadful” on the back of such limited activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hobbit Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Can’t remember but it was enough to see that he looked like he was way out of his depth and was struggling badly so much so that he’d struggle even at reserve on that form so, as I said, I’m not at all surprised he hadn’t got a team place he came to one of our mid season meetings and was interviewed in the interval in which he said he was hoping to “ be back soon”. Most fans really hoped that didn’t happen as the guests were scoring far more than Josh had been doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans really hoped that didn’t happen as the guests were scoring far more than Josh had been doing For a variety of reasons, many not his fault but bad luck and fate, a massively unfulfilled talent. However he can walk relatively speaking in to retirement, and hopefully he won't come back and risk his long term well being.

The H Man Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Joe Thompson in for Ty Proctor with immediate effect. Hopefully James will be fit for the home match against Edinburgh, he is working very hard on his rehab. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
