Comets latest averages after 8 meetings in the 18th May issue of Speedway Star:

Cookie: 9.23, Troy: 8.84, Claus 7.88, Tate: 7.18, Antti 6.43, Celina 2.62, Sam 1.94 

People can like it/or not like it but regardless off gender changes need made at reserve. We ain't going to win anything with the weakest reserves in the league. 

An before people shoot me down.....we ain't national league now, we are championship level, its an entertainment product that people are paying good money for, we should be provided with the best team possible.

We are getting entertainment 

I've never enjoyed it more too be honest 

Yes we are weak at reserve 

But the biggest noise is when celina comes close or does pass someone 

It's not all about winning

If you had zmarzlik and Lindgren as a pairing in your team it wouldn't be that entertaining as you would just expect them to win every heat

Claus and the reserves I think, so a guest would be the best option.

Wouldn’t entertain any of the Berwick riders. Probably chose from Pearson, Bailey, Edwards, Castagna & Lambert.

You are absolutely right in what you say. The club must stay focused and strive to be ambitious. Such a great start to the season, and to win a trophy changes need to be made asap.carry one poor reserve like Poole did and won the league 2 years ago but to carry 2 it will be an impossible task. To make things worse if 1 of the top five get injured again points will be thrown away.

Yeah wouldn't entertain Lambert either, would be terrible. Bailey, Edwards, Castagna or Mountain the best options from the list I'd say

This being the thinking that closed Derwent Park?

Surely Edwards after his last performance at Workington

Antti not easy to replace, his scores at Northside excluding the Scunny meeting when he suffered concussion after a fall in his second ride have been  11,10, 6 and 11.

To make a switch at reserve would be a major error. Both reserves are improving week by week and are great to watch.

Workington is my favourite team right now. Two ex Swindon riders, 3 exciting new foreigners, solid number one and a raw 100% tryer at no 7.

This team needs sticking with. I've already got my credit card ready for the next time they are on the telly!

Couldn’t be any further from it. Won everything in our last season at Derwent park. Other issues the reason for the closure which I won’t go into.

If we can get a guest in who can score 6/7 it should be enough to beat Oxford but would maybe worry about the aggregate bonus point
