I'm with you on this one - Aspegren was the first name I threw into the pot at the start of this thread as he is simply superb around Somerset. Having him at reserve or someone equal to would be brilliant. No problem - you asked the question so I gave my opinion.

Plus he's useless. Next someone will be trying to sign Arlo Bugeja!

Because he isn't as good as Zak Wajhisface, and doesn't have the potential to be.

Very true - but if as expected it is Wilson Dean as the 'senior' reserve then he needs to at least hit assessed average and alot more for us to have a decent team in my opinion.

I'd imagine that is their minimum figure, so anything above that remains as their average.

Apologies Cliff - I assumed you meant Nielsen of the Stefan variety, as I often refer Kasper Lykke Nielsen to just Kasper Lykke. So I'm told - but it's one thing doing it in the NL and it's completely different doing it in the PL.

Absolutely - a lot will depend on who your final rider is, whether it's someone who can hold their own at reserve or a Roland Benko sort of rider. The team assembled so far though looks pretty tidy, especially at home.

You've got the wrong rider Cliff - Rye's reserve pairing is Lykke and Morley. Nielsen is yet to sign for anybody as far as I'm aware. IF that is to be our reserve pairing, it's very hard to judge. I'd like to think we would potentially have the best 3 pointer in the league but to a certain extent remains an unknown, especially at this level. Wilson-Dean was one of the top riders in the NL but I've never seen him ride and don't really know much about him at all - so again, hard to make an assumption on him also. Do we think he would be a better option to Aspegren? I'm not sure.

That's an improvement on what Plymouth have been used to I suppose since joining the Premier League!

How did he score?

Charles Wright is our asset, so we would get priority if there was a clash of dates anyway. I think this is pretty much on the money to be honest - although it'll be surprising not to see Kyle Howarth in the side.

He has never missed a Somerset match to ride in Poland.

Unfortunately Poole - so if he is in the team then lets hope there is less fixture clashes than when Nick Morris was at Swindon in his final season for us.

He will more than do a job, but he isn't the prolific scorer that we have been spoilt with in the past like Zorro and Doyley.

We have a decent history of Germans in the past, and on decent equipment he could do a job at reserve. He is never going to set the world alight but he is the sort of rider who would go out and beat a heat leader followed by a few 0's on the spin. I'd take that for a 3 pointer personally, especially as it would free up more points in the 1-5 for all round strength - especially as it looks like we aren't going to have an out and out number 1 for the first time since our early PL days. (Discounting Travis McGowan - who was signed as a no.1 but rode more like 6 year old on his first push bike) I'm not saying it's the best option, it's just one to consider.

I'm a little surprised Max Dilger hasn't been mentioned yet either...

Obviously got binned off by the Somerset promotion for the second year running. Shame. It's no coindence that the same day Somerset confirm they are announcing their 1-7 next week that Jack signs for Plymouth.

No evidence of that being true at all. I watched Lanham for the duration of his stay at Somerset last year and I would say he was certainly mixing it. He's never going to do a Emil Sayfutdinov and come flying round the outside up the fence but he will certainly do a job. Rye House as a home track will suit him down to the ground.

Regardless of who he signs for, so he should be if he's come out of the NL.

Absolutely - best wishes for a speedy recovery Ian.

So do I - I think every team will... It's part of the rules to have an assessed 3.00 rider He can be on whatever average he wants, if he isn't up to it anymore then that isn't any good for anyone.

Nieminen was also useless for Glasgow - so we'll stay well clear of him.

Sam Masters?

He's signed for Belle Vue who own his contract, who are supposed to running on Friday nights in 2016. That would rule him out. Seems a strange one to me that Kurtz and Newman have been announced for Plymouth but Holder hasnt - this seems to tell me he's off elsewhere...

Decent team that. Will take the odd pasting here and there away from home but pretty good on the whole.
