Brendon Johnson is going to be an 8 point man one day based on his improvement year on year up to now. Thats 8 point NL rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

builderbob Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Agree! Too many career NL riders. not sure what you mean really, do you think if a rider hasnt got into higher league after say 5 years they should quit.there would be no national league very quickly as there would not be enough riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobs aside I doubt if any of the others will ever make it to the EL. In fact, the PL will be a step to far for most of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they go from there is anyones guess. Â Jacobs probably would have been ready this year Sarjeant has all the ability in the world, not sure if he has the right advisors though Greenwood was fantastic in his first full season (And even that wasn't a full season due to injury) and if he stays fit could well be pushing for a PL place in 2014.

21st century heathen Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well I'll admit I don't know a huge amount about NL speedway but that team looks pretty rubbish to me. Will surely take something special to take the wooden spoon off them :s  Tell you what mate I'll give you some leeway on the wooden spoon position and offer £5 says Cov finish 6th or higher. I would say we could give our fiver to one of our group to hold to the end of the season but I wouldn't trust any of them not to treat them as beer/burger vouchers.  No, I mean that a number of them have reached their level.  Well yes, but not a high number. The reserves are an unknown quantity, the top three have not reached their full potential yet though. I would accept an argument that Bren and Rich won't improve, although I think Bren will improve to over 6 this season. He lost his way a bit (that's probably not the best phrase ) for a couple of years but he's got potential to do much better at this level.  What use is that to Coventry? the numbers are already against a NL rider making it to the EL but to sign this team of riders make no sense what so ever. Jacobs aside I doubt if any of the others will ever make it to the EL. In fact, the PL will be a step to far for most of them!  With half the EL assets making a bid to make it as a PL rider as well as some of the NL assets you should have a great PL line up within a couple of seasons.

villiers210 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I would agree. That's not a bad looking side with plenty of potential. They may not be up to the strength of IOW, but wooden spooners? Don't think so somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Wooden spoon, dont make me loff, in Jacobs, Greenwood, Sarj <temperament may be suspect> you have potential for all of them to be 8+ riders this season, Brendon, will be looking to get his career back on Track, and Franksy will average his usual 5=, but for me your weakness is at reserve, young Carr would have been my choice for you, but i guess he wouldnt have been your asset, that may be the reason why you didnt sign him, and he would in my opinion be looking to push for a 1 to 5 spot this season, but back to wooden spoonists, there is one Team who currently need to strenghten up, who unfortunately appear much weaker than any other, and it certainly aint Coventry.
