Wolverhampton 2015


Recommended Posts

Good we're doing our bit for help the aged ;^)

 

Hopefully PK can show a bit more of his old sparkle in 2015 and put a rough time last year to one side.

 

I feel it wont be a play off side if I'm being honest. We really could have done with being able to persuade Tai To sign up, as we still lack that vital back up to Freddie. Don't see us winning many matches on the road, though we should be tough to beat at home.

 

Nigel and Kelvin are busy polishing up their 'Karlsson Corridor' references as we speak!! :D

The corridor has been closed for a few years now. Haven't seen much evidence of it in the last 4 years.

The help the "aged" is a little harsh IMO except for last season PK has more than held his own with those half his age ,IMO the problems were machinery and injury recovery he will now have the chance to prove me right which I believe he will .

So Museliak is Wolves 2nd heat leader? Lining up against the likes of Bjerre, Harris, Nicholls, maybe even Ward? Ouch, that's weak.

 

Depending on who the last rider is, Wolves will have their two second strings on a combined average over 12 points a match. That is more than any other team I have seen and if Musielak is anything like his Polish form then 6.50 is a reasonable average.

 

The teams success however depends on the second strings scoring if Tobiasz and Jacob struggle early on and in PK and Mads/Zengota/? they have riders that can move up and still score

 

 

Not too sure if its play off material but wont be the weakest by far

 

 

Yet some say Mads isn't even riding in Britain in 2015 so god knows.

 

Well Zengota 6.16 will do nicely and fit in with Tobiasz Museliak well.

T.N.T - Zengota would have done (actually 6.14!) but he's signed for Swindon!

 

Had been told they were likely to include him but we were about five years too late on this one. He rode at Zielona Gora a number of years back and came over with Freddie to see what is was like over here. Sadly we never signed him and the following season Swindon grabbed him.

 

Mads will do nicely if he is available as he rode at #3 for Leicester last season and his scores in the first half of the season were very good but his relationship with the club was obviously strained and his average dropped to below six. If we get Mads he should move up to heat leader and stay there.

 

 

Simon Gustafsson (is he looking at riding here ?) could be a very good signing. Always felt he was much better than he had reached and was stuck in a rut at Eastbourne and needed to get out. He made the move to Swindon and after a slow start he got going and only slowed down when he moved to a heat leader position. As a second string fine but that is the same as most of the team apart from Freddie isn't it.

First chance I've had to comment on the PK signing. As a second string its a no brainer signing. And with 6.19 for the last place its looking like it might be Mads. Potentially 2 great second string signings if that proves to be who it is. Certainly makes us a solid top 5. Plus with the likelihood of main team places switching we are likely to have strong second strings through-out the season.

Obviously Musielak is going to hold a lot of sway as to how we fair this season I am a little more optimistic.

Lets face it 2 solid second strings is much better than a poor 2nd heat leader in Bjarne.

How pleasing that is.

Once Wolves failed to get Tai or Piotr to return they were always going to struggle in finding a suitable second heat leader and no surprise they ended up going with strong second strings.

 

Zengota would have been a good signing and so would Mads Korneliussen but knowing now that they have opted for strength in depth they again have missed out on Mikkel Michelsen who has potential to be a heat leader.

 

Whoever they get for the last place is not going to change the fact they may struggle to score heat wins in the big races and think Lindgren will do well to average over 8 let alone near nine as he is at present

 

Can see changes being made mid season but not title contenders

Oh dear, the natives will turn on Lindgren if that is the case..
