Decent meeting until went too slick. Am I reading too much into Thompsons heat 8 blocking of Lambert that he might be getting replaced to accommodate someone for Kennedy?

JT was 2nd top scorer for Scunny tonight... and barely got a mention on BSN, now there's people on here speculating he'll be replaced and the same for DT on the Leicester thread... people need to cut these kids a break

I'm not suggesting he should be dropped. All I'm saying is that when a rider knows he's about to be dropped becomes very keen to beat their teammates. 

If he was dropped it's due to the points issue not performances and I'd imagine he'd walk right in to Birmingham's team anyway

Yeah, i know, i get you... for some reason these guys fly under the radar, they're not as high profile as some of the other kids, they're quite quiet, they just go about their business scoring points

Yeah isn't much fanfare around them as there was with the Kemp's etc. All I meant was that scunny may have had to redeclare earlier in week because facility runs out which gave Joe some extra incentive. Saw it with sedgy at Glasgow when he was dropped. I hope I'm wrong

To be fair to Joe, I spoke to J Edwards after the Scorps v Brum in the BSN meeting & asked why he didn't look for Jake to give him his full maximum. He said that I am out to win races.

I wouldn’t have blamed Lambert if he stuffed Thompson in the fence after that race, I would have been absolutely livid if it had been me, red mist would have certainly descended.

Absolutely clueless ride which cost not only his team but himself.
