Steve0 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 An interesting piece of news in this article http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/speedway/10495757.All_Aussie_Robins_to_face_Bees/ No - not that we will have 6 Aussies in the team but the fact we "effectively half own with Edinburgh" the exciting prospect that is Micky Dyer. How has this been kept quiet or have the Adver got it wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed that but, if he continues how he is doing this season, we may have (effectively half) a great prospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) I must have missed that but, if he continues how he is doing this season, we may have (effectively half) a great prospect I thought I heard the same as noggin and posted a comment on another teams thread who were suggesting they sign him up, think it was Peterborough. What I have been surprised at, unless there have been meeting clashes, is that we have not used him when Ashley was not available for away meetings. His scores have been very impressive, and he is likely to soon have an average higher than Ashley, in which case we will not be able to use him.

How has this been kept quiet or have the Adver got it wrong? I stand to be corrected, but if I remember correctly, it was Swindon that brought Micky Dyer to the UK originally, in the same vein that they did with the Sedgman's, Justin & Ryan.

How has this been kept quiet or have the Adver got it wrong? You either own a rider or don't. They may have some sort of agreement that when he goes EL they get first call or something but I don't see how they can "half own" him!

van wolfswinkel Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Good to see 4 Swindon riders in the top 20 in SpeedwayStar averaging over 8.00. Hansi, 2nd. to Woffy, with a phenomenal 11.59 home average! Smolinski and Proctor the surprise packages well up there, with Darcia 7.17!, Schleiny, Harris, Sundstrom big disappointments on less than 8.00. Gustafsson of Eastbourne should be a lot higher than 4.97, going on his superb display at Blunsdon earlier this season. Sign him for next season Swindon. Robins miserly 5/2 favourites to retain their title with Corals. Reckon Brummies are a better bet for champions at moment with their all-round strength.

G the Bee Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Got to say, and, of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I think Swindon made a huge error in not including their asset Zengotta in their team. I think if Swindon had signed Zengi rather than Morris, they really would be a powerful outfit, even accounting for their poor reserves. I know Zengi was poor at Blunsdon last week but, watching him week-in week-out at Brandon, he really is a class act. It took him a couple of meetings to get the hang of Brandon but he has the beating of anyone around there now. I'm sure he would have weighed the Abbey up again after a meeting or two. The way he held off Iversen in our last but-one home meeting in a high-pressure heat 15 was the kind of mature ride you would have expected from a 9 point rider, not one signed on an average of 5 and a half. He was brilliant again last night. I would go so far as to say, along with Smolinski for Birmingham, Zengi has to be considered one of the bargain signings of the season. I certainly think he is a better rider than Morris and (even though he had a great start to the season) Kennett also.

Yes he did really well at Swindon last week when the full-strength Bees were slaughtered by 23 points. How many did he score...3 :rofl: :rofl: ....He rode ok when paired with fellow Pole Janowski for Swindon, but like most Poles too inconsistent. Edward will finish above him in the averages easily One decent meeting doesn't make him a world-beater. I wish he had done better for Swindon, same as Janowski, and they had signed both of them. Both under-achievers unfortunately. Same as Ulamek and Chrzanowski and quite a few of their fellow-countrymen.

Why would you you buy him? Tap him up in November then wait until March 2nd and loan him for next to nothing. I'm sure Swindon won't object 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G the Bee Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Someone needs to read my post properly. I think I mentioned the recent Swindon v. Bees meeting. He is also clearly a better rider than he was last time he rode for Swindon. You state you believe Edward will finish above Zengi in the averages. I suspect you might be right, due to Kennett's excellent start to the season. However, Kennett was signed on an average 3/4 of a point higher than Zengi and I suspect that at the business end of the season, Zengi will be the rider in better form. As someone who spent years watching Kennett at Brandon my opinion is that Zengi is by far the better rider. I don't think Kennett would have stepped up to the plate in that heat 15 against Iversen the way Zengi did. That said, In terms of team building, I suspect if Zengi had been included in the Robins team it would have been in place of Morris and not Kennett anyway. But returning to Kennett, if you think Edward is better than Zengi then great. I, and I suspect a vast majority of Bees fans, would be over the moon if a swap deal could be arranged. I wonder how many Swindon fans would be as enthusiastic? Edited June 22, 2013 by G the Bee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Swindon was one of the only poor meetings Zengi had. Rides Brandon one of the best i have seen & far more commited. Spent last 2 years watching Kennett either cheating or very poor on all tracks so maybe a swap would suit both teams.
