Baldyman Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Ellis would be good around the showground He would be, but it won't be the panthers he lines up for since they are now a Friday track again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well last season we had a top 3 of Worrall, Tungate, Risager. Good back up from Gino This season top 3 King, Tungate, Gino. Hoping Heeps can back them up scoring like Gino did last year. Im aware we cant track the same riders but Worrall seemed to be getting dialled in and i just think we look weaker than last season. Gino now stepping up into a heat leader role will be fine at home but we look very weak away from home. We had a rider with potential in Adam at reserve that we have let go. This new rider needs to be sensational in my eyes. Hate to be pessimistic but i think we look poor. Just for example looked at Glasgow. 3 of their top 5 are Morris , Kozza and Berge and they can still fit in 2 8 pointers in there as well like Worrall and Risager for example. That top 5 would walk all over ours. Ok they have 2 three pointers at reserve but i can see Sarjeant adding to that. As i look at other sides i worry about us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything from anyone else that frightens me so far, and if Summers and Lawson are the final two at Glasgow, they don't look all that either. Morris hasn't kicked on from bursting on the scene a few seasons ago, if anything he's slightly gone backwards. Same with Kozza, I don't see an average increase in him either. Remains to be seen what the others put together and I'm keeping an eye on Somerset as they always seem to put a tasty side together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Personally I'm not sure what we will be like, very very hit and miss i think, a lot really will depend on our last 2. We are probably all expecting gino to improve a bit more, and heeps, but will heeps be able to get back to the season before last? A big year for heeps ahead in my opinion, the year that could decide if he is going to go on to be a world class rider, some other countries already have them at his age.

Pob Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 HeEpson and Gino are big confidence riders think that's pretty easy for everyone to see . When things are going well for them they both have a lot of speed. They both went opposite ways last season . Gino started with a bang and was flying at the start but as the long season wore on machine problems and falls really hit him and affected him to the point where he was maybe trying to hard and pushing himself and his bike just that bit too far . Heeps had a dreadful start think it was still getting over the injury to his wrist and didn't look right until his average dropped him down to reserve but full credit to him he knuckled down and cone end of the season was flying . Think these two could have a big say in how the witches go next next both have got talent and both on there day are thrilling to watch and excite the crowd with some never say day racing. A couple of the older heads at the club just have to put there arm around these two at times and give them the encouragement and a bit of common sense to explain sometimes just settle for that 3-3 in a heat at times and not over ride and make mistakes . It's not all about them there's 15 heats each meeting and a team sport . The witches need these two to be on there game and hit the ground flying as they have shown they both can potentially both could add a point to there average maybe more but then again as Heeps found out last year things can very quickly get to you and you end up dropping a whole pointhing.

I think that a heat leader trio of Morris , Summers, and Lawson with Kozza as second string is stronger than King Tungate Gino and Cam. All about opinions though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Im rather afraid when the last 2 riders are named im going to be a tad disappointed with the team overall . Im sure Louis will have had the opportunity to put together a truly competitive team but I don't think it's going to be one . At best a nearly but not quite team !

Countershaftcounter Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 maybe its not too late for CL to call lakeside and chat with cookie before Ellis gets another ride, with Ben Morley on the reserve list ( who was better than Ellis at home) maybe a deal can be worked out where Adam doesn't miss too many meetings. Unless there's more to it that we don't know about ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Of course there is more to it, and maybe all will be revealed when last riders are announced. Edited November 30, 2014 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Be interesting to see who young Adam rides for in 2015. Boro and Somerset would have been good for his career, possibly Sheffield, and it's a shame he cant be a Panther as he looks very impressive at the Showground. Still believe his omission from the 2015 team is a mistake, if indeed he was available... Edited December 1, 2014 by blupanther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANSE Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Tyretrax i dont know who the final two riders are. If you read my post again i said the rumour off various posters is the 2 riders i said in my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Be interesting to see who young Adam rides for in 2015. Somerset and Sheffield would be good for his career imo, although it's a shame he cant be a Panther, as he looks very impressive at the Showground. Think the reason he cannot be a Panther is the very same reason he cannot go to Somerset?! (Or Edinburgh) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
