9 winners in 11 heats I think... 9 winners from 11, 9 lasts from 11. Everyone in the team won, or paid for a win. Sorry, everyone bar one

Can we just sack/drop him and use Tai and other PL riders as guests for the remainder of the season?
Would do us a lot better.

It would have to be R/R.
2 up with 3 to go. If we can get at least 4-2 in 13/15 even if we 1-5 in 14 we win. If Fred and Jesper get max's will be amazing.

1-5 in heat 15, an 8 point loss. I'm proud of the team for the 1st 11 heats, but gutted for the last four and the big collapse...

Well, normal service was resumed after the interval, with no heat wins, four lasts, a paid Minimum for Howe and an 18-6 Ipswich score overturning our four point lead. Kudos to Mr Moonbeam for giving it a go.
Anyway, I'll stick by what I've been saying since the end of May...there are three riders who should have gone long ago

True Samuel, this is an away win we SHOULD have gotten but the weak links meant that the top 3 needed to be virtually unbeaten for us to win.

Whilst agreeing that the bottom 4 didn´t perform, although Klindt did ok, at least 3 of them notched race wins.
The reason we lost, and the reason we have lost many home meetings was once again Howe. He´s not a 4pt rider, he´s not in his debut (or as good as) season, and he´s not returned from a near death crash. He is now contributing absolutely nothing to the team. We should bite the bullet, get rid and bring someone in with a view to next season.
