Don't tell anybody, especially the Poole fans (like they'd see this on a PL topic!)... but I actually think the move to Poole has done wonders for him, had to improve his gating as it's such a dog rubbish track :rofl:

says  a Leicester fan about tracks 🤣

Pathetic... but true, he was on his way to being an Adam Ellis, Danny King, Charles Wright type until DJ Woffy showed him the way

There's no shame in accepting help from a 3 times World Champion and King of the Decks :t:

not a massive rise is it ?

Considering he is riding as a heat leader and not had a spell at reserve like last season any increase on his average is impressive.

Brennan has improved this year.

Gave him engines and mechanics, and also helped him with the mental side of the sport...

Toughened him up a fair bit I would suggest...

And, as for Brennan, decent progression this season..

A fair few average bashing Ht 15's yet has posted a decent figure, especially often carrying a poor team...

heat leader in a poor team 😉

Which means he has tougher rides,so his progression has been very good this season.

I think it’s fair to say that some riders respond well to riding at certain tracks, and others don’t. Same goes for coaching methods and equipment. Having the means for investment is also a huge factor. There’s no magic formula, otherwise everybody would follow it.

In a stronger league also…

Few more top guys but they all have had average scores at times,not many do well on uk tracks at this level without doing a few meetings and changes,don’t think level is much different

Left Aces were on 6.02. Current 6.07. 

Spent a chunk at reserve for easier rides last season.

Now riding as a heat leader in the leagues weakest team but the strongest league strength in a decade.

that 0.05 improvement is massive in real progress terms. 
Will be a steal on that average next season.

Actually, look at Brennan since he left the Aces.

Tom has come on “leaps and bounds” since leaving Belle Vue improving his average by an impressive 0.05. 
His average last year was helped by having a 1 whole month at reserve. 

In contrast, poor Connor had a terrible season at Belle Vue only improving his average by insignificant 0.22.

You’re being deliberately misleading here using those averages which we all know don’t tell the full story because of the way averages work. Probably because just like Geoffrey, you don’t want to admit that Brennan has stepped up a level since leaving Belle Vue. As always the devil is in the detail. His average for the 2023 season at Belle Vue is near identical to his average over all meetings in 2024 for Birmingham. But take away the bonus points from sitting behind Kurtz and Bewley and the GSA’s show in 2023 he achieved 5.87, this year his GSA over all meetings is 6.50. 
 

There’s also a world of difference between riding without pressure at reserve/2,3,4 with Bewley and Kurtz doing the heavy lifting at the top end, than literally carrying the whole team (before Lindgren came in a few weeks ago) at either 1 or 5 and being the main source of points for your team. 
 

The boy has stepped it up a level this year, it’s ok to hold your hands up and accept it even if he’s done it at another club other than your beloved Belle Vue.

Dan and Brady were doing the heavy lifting - in front of him. Having a rider whether team mate or opponent in front of you, has a detrimental effect on your average. Not having big hitter team mates means you move up a position in the races you are now in. Case in point, his average has dropped since Freddie joined as he is now behind him in many races. 

Tom “carried” the team at 5 (not 1) for just four meetings before Freddie’s arrival. The seven meetings prior to this saw him ride in his usual second string role. 

The devil is indeed in the detail.

I’d also add that he’ll be in demand for next year so Birmingham may have a battle on their hands. Especially for the clubs that go top heavy and have heavy hitters at 1 and 5. Brennan on a 6 point average slotting in to the middle order and away from the demands of 1 and 5, would be a terrific signing. Hope Ipswich go in for him personally.
