Robins 2014


Recommended Posts

Agreed, no way would I have Ashley back straight away.

 

Nick Morris is worth the investment but he isn't a heatleader yet & he takes up too many points for a second string, so our choices are limited:

 

We're left with MJJ/Kolodziej/Ulamek/Zengota/Skornicki & Doolan (3) OR Gustaffson & Ostergaard/Klindt/Bjerre/Mellgren

 

Shame we didn't go with Hans, Zagar or Hancock with PK & Troy & Kozza Smith & Doolan (cheap on 3.76 & 3).

If Rosco can get the best he cn out of Klindt then a Gustaffson/Klindt combo may be the best option...i do disagree about your assesment of Nick as i think this year he will kick on as a good 3rd heatleader

1.Kildemand

2.Klindt

3.Morris

4.Gustaffson

5.Batchelor

6.Worrall

7.Bates

 

It might not be the glamour of Kl or Belle Vue but its very solid ith room for some improvement (Gustafson Klindt and The Kid)

Hang on who does Klindt ride for in the Prem????

I'm hoping this is the way Rosco goes, I like the look of that team. Not the top 3 of Kings Lynn but more solid elsewhere, and easily on a par with Belle Vue who are being hyped up as they look decent.

4.24

 

So him and Gustafsson would fit. They are the type who should up their averages at this level, so bring them in and replace one of them later with Zengota.

Must be a Swindon thing. We are very upbeat here in Dorset and greatly looking forward to defending our title.

Might have something to do with how it doesn't matter how good your top 5 are when certain clubs get advantages at reserve when they don't deserve them.

 

Nothing changed in this corrupt sport & I'm not spending anymore money watching it anymore.

 

Only went occasionally last season but pretty sure I won't bother in 2014.

 

Wonder if you'd be so enthusiastic if another team had got away with Newman at reserve.

 

No problem with Kings Lynn as they support a National lge team.

Why if they upped their average thus showing they are doing we'll would you want to replace one with Zengota?.

They should up their averages because reserves are being "protected" by riding against reserves and second strings. consequently, second strings will have to be racing against a lot of NL standard reserves, so should be able stick a couple of points on their averages no problem! It doesn't suddenly make them better riders.

 

Plus, because second strings and reserves are riding against each other, presumably heat leaders will be racing against each other. So some heat leaders might end up getting an average of about 6 points and get dumped. So maybe we can sign one of those to replace our much improved second strings?

I see what you're saying & it makes sense but it baffles me that a rider could easily up their average by riding against these draft riders.

 

Where as a top rider riding against Darcy would drop there's dramatically by meeting him 3 times in a meeting.

 

I just find it so strange & can understand why Kings Lynn are easily favourites with how they've set their team up.

Yeah. Two second strings just above the level of reserves with 3 strong heat leaders could be a good combination.

 

They may have to back track a bit on the protection of reserves though, as it could prove difficult to come up with a race formula based on what people are saying.

Orion, can't possibly be Larsen. The Robins only have 9.40 left for the last two riders and Larsen is on an average of 7.26, which would leave only 2.14. Expecting last two to be Gustafson and someone like Dakota North (4.23) for the final place.

Larsen average is that high ! never knew that thought he was a 6 point man ...thanks for that more likely to be Guffstaffson then .
