Clegg is a terrible signing.Another NDL superstar who can’t score points in Championship.MPT is another Brilliant or Rubbish on the the night and you don’t know when it will be.

Mpt goes one extreme to other in same meeting. I did think clegg was the worst of the available 5.5ish options but he's maybe good at scunny

I saw an interview during the week saying he only had 1 bike at Plymouth? I think it was, ended up using Complin's bike the night after too. 

I was surprised he only seemed to have 2 bikes and one was written off at wolves. Most riders at that level have quite a few in my experience

Godfrey works in mysterious ways sometimes, surely Kemp was the best option.

David Howe cost scunny the win with Dougys bike failures? Rough start for new signings but clegg never gone well there and ablett more of a small track rider. 

2 bikes wrecked at Wolves & Plymouth earlier in the week & not much time to turn around /tune to perfection. Did ok at Birmingham though.

Also riding in Poland at Liga 2 level so how much does he have to spend/uprate.

Yes I'm aware of that. So do most the guys at his level, masters Pickering etc but never seen them riding a guest reserves bike 2 meetings in a row

If you read my thoughts on the Scunthorpe thread then you know what I think of the changes. A chance missed tonight for a win & a good chance for the aggregate point. Feel sick to the stomach.

Maybe his bike wasn't right & wanted another bike of his size set up to ride. Jake & Simon a bit taller & MPT a bit smaller.

Given the strength of the reserves in the League they should have took another 2 pointer and kept Thompson,if that was possible.IMO

I suppose having 2 bikes written off last week and with Ryan riding everyday this week David had only time to rebuild 1 bike from scratch?, if there was an issue with the bike at Brum and possibly taking to long to sort between rides he had no option to use Complins

And as I have mentioned in the Scunthorpe thread, A rider of Jack Smith's capabilities would not have upset the apple cart.

When a rider of MPT experience rides like junior Questions should asked.

I know MPT needs help in the pits which is not helped with his PL & cl duties & available help. Not got the back up required at both levels yet.
