szkocjasid Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Thought Nigel Tolley was pretty embarrassing in his after match interview. Blaming the track, weather, referee & things "just not going their way" needs to realise it's his team that lost the match, track is the same for both teams, needs his riders to be more consistent & a team manager who doesn't mess up the riding order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbackHalifax Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Wonder if the riding order change was Tom not wanting no5. He has 2nd highest average at both Birmingham and Poole but does not go at 5 for either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of new faces, youngsters and families with children that are not normally there. warm weather at last was also a blessing, as was the much anticipated debut of lindgren Edited June 24 by the hobbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person Tolley should have been lambasting was his team manager for his absurd riding order snd yet again, his unthathomable lack of team changes, leaving sedgemen in 12 and Worrall in heat 13. oh and maybe he could also have a word in the track man’s ear for yet again having a track surface totally different from the last hone meeting. Yes it was a really hot day all day, thus making it difficult to keep the moisture in the track but why oh why wasn’t the track watered far more often during the meeting? kings Lynn rode harder than we did, attacked the track more and fully deserved their win.

heathen52 Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 I think Kings Lynn wanted it more, plus the Brummies are being hampered by poor management decisions Brennan at No2 was baffling to say the least, and as for Worrall the less said the better.

GeneralMelchett Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Things looking up for the Stars - again if they could have not had that points deduction and got their ducks in a row properly and not been playing silly beggers with calls offs etc they could have been up there, as it is they could have a say in the playoffs if they can keep this momentum going. Pleased to see the bigger crowd for Birmingham - and have to say would never have predicted a max for Tungate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Brum is a very unsettled club that needs quite a bit of fixing if the club were to stick with the same 1-7. 1. Tolley needs to try and tempt Pete Adams to Brum again to work alongside Chris, Sudden Sam is basically the Joe Biden of Speedway Managers. 2. Need to settle on a riding order and stick with it unless forced into changing it instead of chopping and changing every meeting. 3. Tolley needs to stop putting too much pressure on his riders pre-meeting, You hear comments from Woffinden and Blodorn about how laid back they're feeling in British Speedway whilst having a good laugh with team mates and opposition riders prior to Heat 1, At Birmingham it just seems like the riders are under constant pressure, First it was the Lindgren situation where everyone was riding for their jobs, Now Tolley is coming out with unrealistic expectations about winning the bonus point against KL last night when even a win on the night would've been an achievement in itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianbuck Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 King's Lynn were smart in their selection of their two guests who made them stronger, and ultimately proved their match winners. Fair play to them for doing so - they complied with the rules, and they deserved their win. As a Birmingham supporter, I was disappointed with my team's performance which was well below par. The team just doesn't seem to collectively click and although I agree that it isn't a strong team, it should be doing better than it is.

The team just doesn't seem to collectively click and although I agree that it isn't a strong team, it should be doing better than it is. Brian, I have to say I agree with the points you have made, I would also suggest the Perry Barr track is primarily a gaters track where you occasionally get the odd overtake predominantly round the 3rd and 4th bends, the 2 riders that are consistently performing below par are Worrall and Pawlicki, Worrall is on a downward spiral which he seems unable to ride himself out of, Pawlicki can best be described as disappointing, Sedgy is also past his sell by date, Flint is what he is a young reserve learning his trade, and Lampart comes under the same bracket, The one shining light for the Brummies has been young Tom Brennan without his scores I dread to think where Birmingham would be, yes you should be doing better than what you are doing but the mistakes were made in the original make up of the Team, the Team badly needs another Heat leader to support Freddie and take some of the weight of young Tom's shoulders who you could get I have no idea maybe another ex Wolf in Jacob Thorsell, as to who you leave out ? it's six of one and half a dozen of the other, probably to late now anyhow but better late than never, keep safe Brian and lets hope for an uptake in form.

LagutaRacingFan Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 For the money Lindgren is being paid, he should be winning heats 1,13 and 15. Artem Laguta wouldn't let 2nd rate riders like Tungate beat him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
