I don't understand why Scott drops to reserve when he has the highest average, after following speedway for 55 years, the rules have finally beaten me.

Because in the latest set of averages, he is the lowest average of the top six!!! no idea what figures you are looking at. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/p24_issue_4.pdf you need to look at columb C ( highlighted in green), , effective from 1st April Edited March 30 by the hobbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholls was signed on his 2023 converted Champ average. Now he's ridden in the Prem, they are using his rolling ave, which mostly counts of his 2022 matches for Peterborough (where he struggled). Couldn't be simpler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Best chance Birmingham will have of getting a win. Just need to make sure Nicholls gets 6/7 rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a master stroke and how to use him the best way & get their first home win !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 If I was Birmingham, I'd beg Nicholls to stay, even if it's only for another match or two till the TV schedule starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a master stroke because if Scotty has seven rides it highlights the weakness in the team’s top five. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it's a quirk of the averages that places Nicholls at reserve, normally a potential double figure scorer wouldn't be down there. The fact he's dropped down while riding superbly for the Brummies, should be a team managers dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 9 minutes ago, eric i said: Has Zach Cook been dropped? On the contrary. He's been promoted. The new averages that come into force tomorrow put Zach into the top 5 and Scot in the reserve berth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I know it's not gonna happen but Brummies need to beg Nicholls to stay for another 3 weeks till the EuroSport meetings start, rest Lampart when bringing in Pawlicki. Then when Nicholls leaves, Lampart will take longer to drop to reserve still on his assessed average, so Zach Cook can be your potent reserve. Maybe even Milik will be the reserve?

I do feel he's too negative, as when Birmingham have been bad, he's pointed it out, which is fair. But when they had a couple of decent away performances, didn't give them any credit.
