speedybee Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Who would you have in the team next year. Would you keep Zengi and bring Larsen back maybe? Honestly, I wouldn't know where to start, cos it needs a total rebuild, including the manager.. I have absolutely zero faith in him and it appears I'm not alone!! I'd rather not speculate or make choices until we know the make up of the league and the points limit. I would hope the team manager will be history very soon, preferably before the weekend!

markyb Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Er, he did pick the team and appoint Gary Havelock as team manager. Incidentally will Havvy be there on Sunday given Fisher is in the team. Ps Can we have Ryan in the 2014 team, if it's a glorified PL+ set up next year. Please enlighten me about the havelock / fisher scenario - missed all that. Like you, think would be great for Ryan back in 2014, and if that means no gary havelock, then so what there are more "fish" in the sea. As for Sunday, if all the suggested riders turn up, then looks a great line up - having no real interest Initially, I am a defo for going along. Just watch Krzysztof go !!!! Should be a close scoring meeting. Congrats to mr Horton and mr Watson - hope it pays dividends to you both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to seeing your thoughts.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Can see the team looking something like this if it will fit 1, Nicholls 2, Zengota 3, Harris 4, Fisher 5, Sundstrom 6, Dyer 7, Summers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Wouldnt mind any of those with the exception of Dyer Dyer will be fine - as its the Premier League!! Assuming he can be talked into coming back next year??!! Edited October 13, 2013 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G the Bee Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Can see the team looking something like this if it will fit 1, Nicholls 2, Zengota 3, Harris 4, Fisher 5, Sundstrom 6, Dyer 7, Summers That comes in at around 41.85 using BSPA averages. I can't see the points limit being that high myself. I also agree with Had about Nicholls and Harris. I don't think they work well together either and think it's time to move on and look elsewhere. However, you can't deny on an average of 6.82 Harris looks a steal in a weaker league. That said, there is no doubt his average has been sliding since 2010 and there is nothing to say that will not be the case in 2014. Certainly, if Harris returned I would let Nicholls go. In the same vein, I would not have Harris back if Nicholls was retained. I have a feeling if Sundstrom comes to Brandon it might be with Harris going the other way. Either way, and despite his attractive average, I can't see Harris back at Birmingham next year. They have a massive amount of points to shed and irrespective of the success of the Brummies on the track, Harris's form has been a disappointment for them this year. Personally, I still think every team needs a solid number 1. We were hoping to get this from KK this year but it did not happen. Assuming rules regarding GP riders are not changed, then if the likes of Lindgren, Holder or Ward were to be released from their clubs under a lower points limit, I would like us to move for one of them. Otherwise, perhaps, on the back of his dire season this year, Jonsson might be tempted to return. Of course, it's so hard to make any kind of predictions until we know what the rules are going to be!

john birch Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Prior to typing this , the thread isn't even on the first page. We are so irrelevant now even we are not interested in ourselves! Anyway how about Zagar, Harris, Zengota, Fisher, Summers, Milik (fantastic results in FIM events and still possibly on 4.00) and a sub 4.00 pointer at 7 (Eg Garrity). Would like Shamek but unrealistic. Based on lower points limit than present. Team manager Tatum, failing that Morris if available, Loram OR maybe Will Pottinger given how Dudley (and I know it's the third tier) have done or if he can fit it in Jan O. Pedersen.

I like your team! Zagar could be a great No1 and Bomber, Zengota and Fisher has a championship look about it. And you're right, no one seems to give a hoot about Coventry Bees these days..

I somehow doubt that "a few day to recover" will alter the situation at Brandon. The problems there are much deeper rooted than that.

speedybee Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Latest Bees casualty is now DJ and Storm presenter Chris Simpson who seems to have been surplus to requirements?? Given that we still have Peter York, what the hell is going on at Brandon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
