So definitely worth getting rid of Max then ?

Sorry a young lad has a serious crash last season he is obviously going to take some time this season to get back ….. why did Poole sign him just to bin him for someone who isn’t any better ….. awful decision 

 

Oh and the point he got was a 3 rider race 

Max was signed before his crash. How many times do you need to be told the same thing!! If the Poole management want to change the team it is up to them. Their money at the end of the day.

Oh, it doesn't matter if it was a three rider race. He still scored when you said he hadn't. So you were still wrong.

Don't think you are allowed to bring someone back if they have been dropped, except for returning from injury

Probably be a "subject to approval" situation. Not sure it'd look good if the authorities blocked a young Brit getting a Championship team because he had the misfortune to have been dropped by them previously.

World of difference between Perry and Foord. Anyone with a speedway brain can see it on the track. 

Yes it’s all well and good trying hard but Foord can’t seem to stay on the bike …. I will agree with the signing if he starts scoring 3 or 4 but he isn’t 

Anyone with a speedway brain knows Janowski is a better rider than most in the league but he isn’t doing it….. so until Foord does better then it’s a poor signing

Because he goes for it 110%. 

Seen plenty riders give it 110% and manage to keep hold of the bike. There’s going for it and reckless and I know which category he’s falling into at the minute. How he hasn’t been more seriously injured lately is nothing short of a miracle.

He does have a tendency to ride a tight inside line most of the time which is a dodgy style on patchy tracks. IMO He got away with it at Glasgow because track conditions suited his style.Wish him well though and hope he has a speedy recovery.

Good job your not a team manager then.  He was doing fine last night untill he picked up some unwanted grip . Nothing more nothing less.
In his first meeting with us he was trying far to hard and over riding . He clearly has abillity but he's just been unlucky .
He's a likeable down to earth lad, but we will have to see what both Matt and Dan are prepared to do in the short term

Yeah he’s got the makings of a good rider he just needs to probably adjust his riding style a tad. Over trying is just asking for trouble but that’ll come with experience and age. He’s only a young kid so plenty of years in the sport coming his way. Not sure if he has a mentor or not, but if he hasn’t, one would help him long term.

This is what’s annoying me a bit here. Most folk having a debate on whether vinnie or max is the man for the job. Talking about championship level speedway. Last night was national league, at a track which is his home track, against riders he should be beating anyways because he’s racing in the championship. It’s completely irrelevant.

Last night was only the second time he has ridden this home track though! Also it isn't completely irrelevant as some of the riders who beat last night he would be facing in the Championship anyway like Ablitt when Scunny are down, Joe Thompson when Plymouth visit. Same with Max James and Edinburgh, Trigger and Mulford with Redcar etc. 

Although I will give that last night was more riders at a similar level than what he gets at Championship. 

To me last night was more about track time for him. Shame he picked up an injury as I think he would have the beating of the Edinburgh reserves imo.

I'd give my mate a go.......Tom Spencer (Leicester Cubs) in the short term at least. He has got his average up to 8.48 in the NDL this season and he said to me that he would like a go at the Championship.

I guess he would come in on a 2 point average. But like any rider on such an average don't expect the world from him. All this bickering about who is better than who, at the end of the day these lads are a 2 point rider for a reason.

Anyway, c'mon Tom now is your time to shine :t:

I like Tom but he does tend to rapidly raise his average in the first half of the season then trim it back down to a more signable 5ish in the latter stages. He's a smart enough rider but im yet to be convinced that he would mix it in a more physical league and his bikes could do with a decent cash injection bu at only 24 there are certainly worse options out there / already riding in the CL.

Sonny Springer looked very impressive on Wednesday
