Baldyman Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 What about Robert Lambert? What would his average be? All i do know is, we need to change riders. Teams like Somerset seem to change a rider or 2 every season and still manage to do well. And let's try and get a rider that can goes to those type of tracks and pile in the points. Someone is definitely losing their team place if the points limit stays the same, so who will it be? I'm just hoping it's not Worrall, the lad is a classy looking rider with much potential and since his drop to 5, we can see what he can really do.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Agree BM - Worrall should be the first name on the teamsheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 King should be first name on the team sheet for me. If he is interested in another season in the PL, then he should be made a priority IMO. With the very good relationship that King has with the Ipswich promotion, then it is a realistic option. Edinburgh have blown away the theory this season that you win nothing with poor reserves. You can usually carry one poor reserve, but not normally two but Edinburgh have pretty much done that all season long. Just goes to show that getting a good strong 1-5 is more important than having strong reserve(s) as let's be honest, Edinburgh have dominated the league this year.

Baldyman Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I don't give a monkeys if Worrall is signed first second or third, as long as he is signed, big mistake by Louis if he wants to stay and Louis let's him go. King and Worrall would be a great top 2, but I've already mentioned that previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Agree Baldy excellent top two and would make us strong in the latter heats. I say the same at this time every year, I'd also like to see a completely new face, preferably someone young, talented and new to British speedway. Just like Gino this year.

TheScotsman Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 You can usually carry one poor reserve, but not normally two but Edinburgh have pretty much done that all season long. But Monarchs started the season with Sedgmen & Worrall at reserve. And Stevie stayed there till end June I think. But we have got weaker there month by month since then.

TheScotsman Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yes but having Justin and/or Stevie rattling up Mega points for a few months gave us a great buffer and helped the team as a whole build confidence. Remember that Max, Stevie & Justin have increased their averages by a huge amount and Sam has now upped his too and is challenging Cookie for the number 1 position. (Well on scores over the past couple of months anyway!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) LOL to the excellent (predictive) spelling typo. An extra dynamic sort of rider (or two), and a more dynamic approach on track is required. Does anyone else agree that the Witches consistently seem to miss that ability to finish-off a tough match? The simple answer is yes, I think you'll find alot of Witches fans will agree. The thing is we have a good team but not a great team and will always fall just short of that elusive silverware unless we learn to ride certain tracks better than we do currently, we need more riders who are prepared to dice with the safety fence to get that little bit of extra speed. In a nutshell, Too many white line willy's ! Edited October 13, 2014 by Super Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 If we dont keep Worrall , Gino , Heeps and Hawkins we must be crazy. I also think Risager will stay due to the family connection. Tungates time is up and i reckon he will end up elite league next year. We need another big hitter up top. I would like to see Olly Allen though cant imagine it will happen and yes King is more likely. 2 newbies at reserve in my eyes. Who does Sarjeant ride for?

Are you talking about Olly (fell,ex, withdrawn) Allen ??? If so then no thanks, the guy is made of glass or something even more fragile! Far too injury prone to take a risk with IMO. And to those that say talking about dropping riders this early, unfortunately thats the nature of threads like this and all about peoples opinions on who they would like to see in the starting lineup next year. It's the way of the world I'm afraid. Edit, on current average Scott Nicholls would be 11.76 in the PL by my calculation. A bit too high to take on board at this stage me thinks.

TheScotsman Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Not the way of everyone's world. Some people have a better sense of timing. I don't see equivalent threads about Somerset or Monarchs, even though everyone knows they will have to be changed heavily for next season. But they still have trophies to contest this season.

Gavan Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Not the way of everyone's world. Some people have a better sense of timing. Why? Do you think riders will read this forum and then not bother because people are saying they might not be here next year? If they take on board what the fans on here think then they are a tad weak skinned. Different story if one of the management start making noises but fans on here shouldnt affect any rider in the cup final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proud panther Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Would love Adam Ellis at Panthers next year if we run. Looked very impressive at the Showground, & will only get better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Who cares who we get next year.........(let this year finish first). Can't see it will be EL PL and NL as this year so?? Anyhow it will be the ones that 1. Fit into the budget 2. Fit into the team average. 3. Want to ride for the Witches. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
