Berwick 2015


Recommended Posts

He certainly does long track and grass track so unless he was giving it up it is a waste of time +too old IMO lets sign riders for the future.

For me, I would like to see three new riders in our team, non on loan transfer.

On a 6 point average I'd take Theo Pijper in the middle order alongside Kus or Vissing that could be a powerful pairing.

Id like to see us bring in a Number One though. But value for money signings like Theo and maybe Jason Bunyan would certainly assure my season ticket for 2015

The club have tried the No1 route for 5 year got us nowhere, the team in depth route, we ended up 4th, the best season since 2005 when we came 2nd, with a team in depth.

 

Rather watch somebody trying than somebody filling in their time sheet every week

three new riders, busting a gut, I am with you

They may not have ended up being up to No1, Gharlie Gjedde, Edward Kennet. If you are talking a 10 pointer, how weak would the rest of the team be.

Add the names of William Lawson and Ricky Ashworth.

 

Totally agree with Tourettes, if we are going to demand a big-name No 1 instead of a 2014-style strength-in-depth squad, we deserve to be called fannies.

Don't disagree with a No1 scenario, but you really have to get it right, a No1 with the best two reserves in the PL, backed up by a 2nd string who will rotate between them, then three riders who will increase on their starting average by at least a point each. So for that reason I prefer a team in depth.

One Number One and that was Rymel 2008.

Ashworth had his best season but still not a Number One

 

Gjedde was only 8.08

 

Maybe we haven't been getting the best out of all 7 riders?

On that basis, there are only seven riders in the PL above a 9 point ave.

Cook 10.53. Stead 9.70. Barker 9.48. King 9.38.

Lawson 9.31. Crajczonek 9.04. Bjerre 9.02

 

Only 3 of those teams with one of those riders in are in the play offs.

Edinburgh, their trump was Worrall. Peterborough and Workington

At last a voice of reason I know we need a steady nucleus to the team but come on the fans are tired of seeing the same old warhorses ploughing their furrow let see if there are a couple of youngsters who are prepared to burst a gut. Might put some extra bums on seats.

 

I agree, our asset base isn't exactly brimming at the minute, so a few brand new assets would go a miss, though it must be said the "old warhorses" didn't do so bad this season did they.

Gjedde was only 8-08 for a reason. :blink:

Better get your wallet out then Col, you will sponsor him of course.

 

Agree, but we will need a fun fair outside Shielfield every week. :D
