EC Rides Again Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Having my first ride next weekend weather permitting, fittest I've felt for nearly two years shoulder wise Really hope that you can get back to the form you were showing at the start of 2012 before the injuries started piling up.

With Rob saying that Josh would not be at No. 1 I did wonder whether we might see MK back at the EWR. His form at the end of the season was great and I assume that he won't go with Leicester up to the top league. Just needs Rob and Magnus to kiss and make up, aaaah !

IronScorpion Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Richie would be an excellent choice to bring back as our no 1. Maggs didn't like our track prep before so whats changed(even tho he had a great last meeting here for Leicester with David as his mechanic filling in at short notice. Rob said he would like Jorgy back. I would have David back without a doubt. He's too good to ride for anyone else plus even tho he has some doubters at scunny, most would feel like me, he's scunny thro & thro. Hope all is going well in your recouperation David, as seen you are posting on here to keep us informed. Thank you. An issue might be trying to get your reserves. Now, the top NL riders will be EL reserves so doing all 3 leagues might be a problem. This is where strength in depth might come into fruition with 1 strong & 1 weaker reserve but hoping he will develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffyscouse Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Fab to see Josh back - I've made no secret I'm my liking for his professionalism and entertainment - by his high standards he had a quiet ish 2013 he is a proud Yorkshireman and I would expect him to hit 2014 running and score highly. He will always give effort and is loved and loathed (by a few in receiving end) for his spirit, personally I like that in a racer, Auty is a winner. Reserve may be key - I get the strong/weaker argument and we could do worse then Blackbird if he fitted - he let nobody down and is well capable and cones without drama. Alternatively we could look to Olly Greenwood who is hugely talented though I would have preferred him to have had a good run in th NL injury free and scoring well. Stefan Neilsen ticks a lot if boxes and would be a coup. Ash Birks injury aside, had a superb season but has to be a doubt. By own admission David Howe went backwards but has to be an attractionin his average - he could be a trump card, if he's in it. Thomas is a must but he may wish for a look around elsewhere to freshen up, who knows, he's another who could reap rewards from an injury free campsign. Ryan is nailed on and deserves his spot. As for a number one - bring him on ! Exciting times lie ahead methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Rob Godfrey interviewed in the local rag is hoping to have the team finalised next week, all going well. Some clues given - Josh Auty to be #3 in the averages & Douglas at reserve mmmmm A bit like Soduko this LOL1. ?2. ? 3. Josh Auty 7.244. ? 5. ? 6. Ryan Douglas 5.037. ? So I think #4 & #5 will around the 5-6 pt mark, with #7 being a possible 3 pointer..... Really haven't got the foggiest , wonder if Rob is on the wind up?

proud panther Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Think Jorgensen & Blackbird did enough to be in this years team. Looking at the team with Auty at 3 & Douglas at reserve, this seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the team with Auty at 3 & Douglas at reserve, this seems unlikely. I think your right, I would be slightly disappointed not too see Jorgy & Lewis back, they both have massive potential. I do have a sneaky suspicion that Sam Masters maybe back after riding for us during the last few fixtures in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm wrong because that doesn't look league winning, but I noticed Richie tweeted that he's sorted a British team for 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Graversen is good round Leicester but not many other places. If he signed his average would drop in my opinion. Not that I think he will be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Islander......No way we leave Thomas Jogensen out of the team. This year I think he'll be chasing the No 1 Race jacket, along with a couple of the others.!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Wonder if it could be Birks (7.33) & Masters(7.43) above Auty in the averages? Initially it was thought Birks could be out until after the season started but it appears he is progressing really well with his recovery.Even Melgren comes into play on a 7.33 average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
