Very limited options even with almost 2 points spare. Bebee would fit for Watson and Kingston would fit in place of Freeman (haven't counted if a double switch fits). Berwick have been fortunate Halder has started the year well but theres a couple of passengers in the side.

Bebee won't be an option. Still struggling after a crash last season

Don't think dropping riders should be an option after all this is N Development L

Don't disagree for those who have two teams like Berwick, but for clubs like Mildenhall, this is all they have, it's a league title at the end of the day.

Problem with that is, what if Watson keeps in scoring 0 & there's Ben Rathbone waiting in the wings wanting a chance? Do they refuse to drop Watson because it's a development league, which also means Rathbone won't get to develop?

Would they drop a 5 point Freeman for a 4 point Rathbone despite having 7 points to play with?

Also depends on how many fans come in, Mildenhall need a competitive team to survive. While they want riders to develop, it's more important the club survives.

For Berwick it's more important to develop the riders so they can go to Glasgow & Workington lol!

mason is riding at #3  a ht leaders position and defo is hard for him no easy rides i think Phillips should be at 3 maybe mason at 4 at least that will give him a few rides v other reserves and that’s his first ride back from injury which was at mildenhall a track many riders hate to ride

As it's a development league, would Watson not develop more racing at number 2 & if Phillips want to be a Champ rider again, should he not be proving himself at number 3?  

The riding order seems tactical to try & get as many points as possible (not that there's anything wrong with that) than rider development?

See on the website that Ben is back in the team as an injury replacement for Archie.

Won't race poor teams every week though but as standard it looks the likely outcome.

Feel back for predicting Berwick to be bottom though....definitely going to be way clear of Kent.

Kent have strengthened up & got the bonus point over Berwick. So feel the Bullets could be wooden spoonists. I could be a close fight near the bottom though, as Berwick have shown they're competitive away from home.
