Sidney the robin

Of course injuries have gone against him but if he can regroup he will be fine and he will show he is a Championship rider. Castagna there is certainly another reason he is in above Hume and it is not because of having more ability.

I have to say i am looking forward to Peterborough ride they will be exciting hopefully Cookie kicks on.Can this Dad's Army side win the league? who knows great to have the Panthers back in the PL.

I am with you Ace not convinced with this team i think it will be good at home away the jury is out.It is an ageing team BWD i like he can improve i would of had him back at Swindon cant see this side winning a title.

Not when it is Castagna Ben!!! who has failed badly in the past.The English guy should always get the nod by doing ok in the champs his converted average 3.79 that has gone against him.He averaged well over 5 at home and was only really behind Bacon, Kemp, in the Champs averages.Look at Glasgow's reserves they will be lucky to score 3/5 points a meeting between them.

To be honest Keith is Poole speedway worth that much ? the stadium is rented right?.Also are the riders asset base worth much most of them wont ride the uk again in this climate cant see a taker.With the team in 2019 with no Woryna, Grajczonek, Worrall, Klintd, would be my worries.I would of based my team around Holder,Kurtz, Woryna, Jackobsen, Shanes we shall see roll on April.

I actually think this is a decent signing he is not particularly exciting to watch but i have seen him a few times and he has impressed.I am not a fan of Covatti but this is a solid partnership i actially think NBJ will do a decent job.

I think that the Peterborough reserve partnership will be decent at home away from home i am not so sure.Also both of those riders are racer types will they gell? one thing is though that both Bjerre/Barker will be able to mix it in the top five when they move up.

I think if Zach can start the season well he can push on ORLOV he always seems to start the season slowly then gradually gets into it.At home at times he was very good, he beat some good riders he has a great riding style and is a popular bloke with everyone really hope he can improve again i think he will.

I dont know what other Swindon fans think but the reserves being assembled at other clubs are not that frightening.I think Zach/ James can hold there own certainly at home anyway.

Some of those 2 pointers will be like Bickley this year wont even average much more over two points. saying that the league does seem easier in 2019.Will Ruddick, Chessell,Bailey, Lawlor,Kinsley,( ect) average 3.79? i hope i am wrong and i am glad these young Brits are getting a chance i hope some push on.

I see your point about Hume but as you say he has the speed i am afraid alot of the 2 pointers have not.Most of them have a year of struggle to look forward to but fingers crossed loads of Brits will break through.Going back to Hume maybe he needs a regular tutor ie like a Steve Lawson to keep him in check over his over riding and (trying to hard).

I don't expect anything but the team so far has alot of question mark's in it ,Castagna is a bizarre signing but hey hope the Brummies do well.

I hope you are right Bruv , i know Danyon has had his injury problems but i just presumed he was popular with the Brummie faithful.Danyon and Tom Bacon should of been the first two on the teamsheet anyway good luck to Tom at Redcar i see Tom at Swindon last year and he must be the most improved rider in the UK.

This side to me looks like one that is destined to fail and looking at the signing's at other club's how harshly has Danyon Hume been treated.A dreadful decision riders like Bowtell,Wood,Kingsley,Smith,Clegg, Chessell, (etc) get spots Danyon gets shafted.He showed at Ipswich he can be a champs rider and now the league looks even weaker so disappointed riders like Danyon should be fixed up first.

Swindon's reserves will be fine if this is the level.

When you look at Covatti at reserve Swindon's reserves don't look to bad, don't see the fascination with him always inconsistent.

Laguta to do well fancy Barty this year to win it Madsen could surprise.

Woodhull is a rider i like hope he pushes on.

But Ashley who i like a lot and he has progressed really well but he has rode at two real homer tracks.Of course you have to be good anough to ride them and Ashley even in the top five did well Shanes will do ok

What about Pepe!!!

I have never even considered a team without Musielak for me he was a shoe in.Batch who did a great job on his average he would of been a doubt but i am happy to have Troy back.

So who is the better rider? i make my judgement on what i see everyweek.Palm Toft would be a great second string signing if we could of fitted him in third heat leader material No.Also Matt hopefully???? the track will change a wee bit that might change a few things maybe in our favour .I actually think 6.52 for Musielak is a steal going back to your point about the chequebook a very strange comment. Doyley is not cheap you know money does not grow on trees.

The list you gave none of them are available are they ? Palm Toft really??? over Tobi he is not yet even a Championship no1 .Nick wanted a new challenge also his confidence at the Abbey was shot so that is why he moved.Of course Tobi needs to improve away, his performance at King's Lynn shows he is very capable i am more than happy to have him as a third heat leader.

Also i believe the Poole track has to be prepared better for Jack to show his true form.I rate him very highly and for Poole to have any chance of doing well he has to score 10 plus at home most weeks.

Rosco has built some great sides over the years and his record speaks for itself, so for me personally Hyabb17 i am very happy with the side.
