IronScorpion Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Team taking shape. I reckon it could be:- Mellgren 7.33 Birks 7.30 Auty 7.24 Howe 6.34 Jorgensen 6.15 Douglas 5.03 Greenwood 3.00 Would be very happy with that. I would be WELL HAPPY with that, but again, 2 riders coming back from previous years injuries. Saying that, though, i would rather have them in my team now, knowing what they can do, than miss out later in the season. Rob said, at first, the team that ended last year was the way to go with the improvment in the team, but then came out, again, with a rethink(possibly along the lines of how Newcastle did & how they coped with missing a top rider with r/r). Could possibly change Greenwood for Lambert(Robert) as i think he will go PL in 2014. Edited November 23, 2013 by IronScorpion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkscorp Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Another alternative could be David Belligo, he would be on 6.36 so would also fit in that team instead of David, but I am more concerned that to get Ryan at reserve we definitely have to sacrifice Blackbird and I am also very nervous that the same fate may befall Jorgey! To me they should both have been definite starters for 2014 after what they achieved for us last year. Still, Rob always does a great job of the teams he puts together and whoever we have I will be there as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Mellgren as number 1? Nothing against him but hardly a number one on 7-33 average. I cannot see Scunthorpe getting very far in the League, you only have to compare it with Somersets 2013 winning team when Mellgren would have been 5th in their averages.

southern1 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 i had thought that but looking at his scores at most tracks last season and the fact im positive he can improve to maybe a 8.5 this season i have no problem with him starting at #1 especially as josh auty is also in the team and if he does struggle early on josh will go to #1 where he had a very good 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Tbh, I don't think Mellgren will be number 1 for long, He'll be a great addition to the team as Southern1 said Auty will probably be number 1 very quickly and I wouldn't be surprised at Ryan Douglas pushing for it come the middle to end of 2014.

southern1 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 we seem to be building with strength in depth, if we went with birks howe and jorgensen plus a 3 pointer then we would have a very strong reserve all season which is what i think you need for a championship winning side. who would people want as a 3 pointer, would love r lambert but so would everyone else if not him then go with either olly greenwood or even get steve worrall back.

montie Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 3 riders named and someone says that team wont go far in the league....im sure calls like that need to be made when all 7 are released!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven101 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 1. Mellgren 7.332. Jorgensen 6.153. Klindt 6.934. Aspgren 6.745. Auty 7.246. Douglas 5.037. Greenwood 3.00 42.42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 1. Mellgren 7.33 2. Jorgensen 6.15 3. Klindt 6.93 4. Aspgren 6.74 5. Auty 7.24 6. Douglas 5.03 7. Greenwood 3.00 42.42 Cant see this team, Auty according to Rob Godfrey will be #3 in the averages, the one above shows him at #2. Reckon Howe & Birks would be much better than Klindt & Aspgren. I like the team posted by Mr.C Mellgren 7.33 Birks 7.30 Auty 7.24 Howe 6.34 Jorgensen 6.15 Douglas 5.03 Greenwood 3.00 Every single one of those riders have potential, I know its a cliche & always said by every supporter of every team but I genuinely believe this. Anybody know when the next rider is announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Where as MR C's team is a quality side, I still think 2 or maybe as many as 3 of that will be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Where as MR C's team is a quality side, I still think 2 or maybe as many as 3 of that will be different. Any suggestions as to who those might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Sadly not don't have a clue, I have a feeling Jorgensen won't be back which is a shame, I think if he was going to sign it would have been announced pretty sharply like the Auty one. Birks and Howe could both be in the plans and return they could be just waiting to see how the react to coming back from Injury. I also Don't think Greenwood will be in the team, He could well end up Somerset way. Edited November 25, 2013 by Superstar1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I was at the practice hoping to see a few riders testing themselves & their bikes. I could summise who our no2 could be but i would not like to give the game away until it is official. I could, also, be wrong & mess things up for both parties. Rob said announcements would be made soon, but the season does't start while end of March. Be patient. Soon be Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillwhitewasmad Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Mellgren 7.33 Birks 7.30 Auty 7.24 Howe 6.34 Jorgensen 6.15 Douglas 5.03 Greenwood 3.00 Not far off with that but can't see mr greenwood been in the team would think it could be another 3 pointer who isn't on any bodies radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Is Auty being moved down the order because later on in meetings the dirt drifts out which suits him? If he is on his game he will be no 1 again, i think if he gets back on track he can average 9.5/ to10 at Scunny can at least put a point on his average.
