I think his indesision was part of the reason as he would have been a safe signing (and in hindsight a one we should have done) but he was in a bit of a slump at home (or maybe just inconsistent, can't fully remeber), only getting out of it when he got to ride at No2. I would guess that also factored into the desision because if the promoton believed in him they wouldn't have let him go as easily as they seemed to have done. Everyone can see that Brennan is a good rider and still improving( he’s young same age as Basso).Think it was a mistake not too try and keep him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was certainly on my personal team building list. Let’s be honest 99.9% of us knew this team was poor. Makes you wonder whoever assembled it couldn’t see that. Agree on Zischke the lad has been a revelation but it wasn’t unknown how much potential he had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word was he was tired of the long t journey up which is understandable with the schedule he had. But our loss is definitely Pooles gain , not sure if he still remains an asset or if we sold him on a full transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think his main problem is going to be burn - out if he is not careful.He was all over the place last season and still the same this season.You really need plenty cash and 1st Class set -up to do what he is doing IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League will be almost completed in the next few weeks, there will be at least a couple off changes long before a few weeks have elapsed.

Also with only short term future guaranteed at the stadium, can't see them buying assets unless that is the only option in having a rider. Same reason I can't see Birmingham buying him either, so would assume he still a Glasgow asset. 2 minutes ago, Fromafar said: Think his main problem is going to be burn - out if he is not careful.He was all over the place last season and still the same this season.You really need plenty cash and 1st Class set -up to do what he is doing IMO. My worry too but hopefully he has organised everything so that doesn't happen. I remember back in the day Bjarne Pedersen used to do 4 leagues and GPs!! Never got burnt out.

He was a credit too the club with his professional approach and that was ingrained into him with the excellent way Eastbourne ran there academy. His youthful exuberance will have taken over and he will be loving the ride. In another 5 Years maybe not so much. Ben Basso was also saying he was exhausted with his schedule towards the end off last season and had too drop a league for this season.

bringbackHalifax Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 People keep talking of changes, but who realistically is there out there who wants to race. Maybe the cost cutting is due to the high cost of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have an underperforming 2nd string on a low it is very difficult to find anybody that going to make a big difference with 1 change.Even Complin had low average as a reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast1rn Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Everyone seems to forget the last two seasons we had Brennan he was dynamite first half of the season and fell away towards the end, from an outsider perspective, fatigue had to be one of the issues, he finished up at the number two spot after the taresenko move. As has been pointed out numerous times with the Team.building average dropping to 38 the team had to be built with potential to add to their averages They were looking for Paul and Lee to improve, the former showing that that's been an unfortunately inaccurate assumption and Lee never going to ride again (for the foreseeable anyways). With the points available on the 1st June there will either be a mass cull and Kai Huckenbeck in on a 8.5 ( I sh*T you not that's what he'd come in on). Or it'll be one for one and cling on till the end of the season with the vain hope of making the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus knowing he was coming in on better equipment than what he had last year I think a 4-5 average was surely obtainable. Starke was in on what was said a "false average", again I hate that term, yes you can have a strong playoff run which won't affect your average but that wasn't where he was coming from.
