Lanham and a 3 pointer? Or Jacobs? And a 3.5

Lanham has a low average, but that's going backwards. If either Lanham or Hawkins are in at the expense of a talented young Brit with obvious potential, then I won't be happy at all.

 

No disrespect to Lanham or particularly Hawkins who did well last year, but there's little to no improvement in either.

 

Ellis has a far far greater upside!

Well he's the one running the show so it's his decisions and we just have to accept them.

 

We also have decisions to make though, and that's whether to part with our £16 each week so there needs to be something attractive delivered if he wants the punters through the turnstiles.

 

I'll wait for the team before I comment further.

Got to be honest I'm also shocked at Ellis not being kept on it looks a strange decision at the moment.

 

If the 5 are King, Tungate, Manzares, Heeps and Hawkins, then that leaves 8.63 for 2 reserves.

 

The only thing I can think of at the moment, is perhaps a new 5 pointer is coming in with a 3 pointer and Chris Louis wanted the newcomer to start at reserve?

 

With Ellis in the team instead of Hawkins, any new 5 pointer would have started in the main body.

Maybe Ellis could have been missing too many meetings and its nothing more than that?

 

Could Louis make a come back on a 3pt as number 7?

Chris or John?

Maybe Chris wants to have a team where he has first call on riders doubling up so we have a settled side every match without having to use guests like last season. Adam missed a lot of meetings due to clashes with Lakeside meetings and he has resigned for Lakeside after todays draft. I had Adam in all my teams permutations and it's a shame to see him go but good luck to him wherever he ends up. He won't be signing for any Friday night tracks anyway.

Maybe his average just doesn't fit the team that Chris is putting together, stronger top end and weaker bottom end. Or maybe Chris is totally bonkers mad and doesn't know how to build a league winning team., who knows. Maybe Chris is making space in the team for another new asset since one of the reasons for dropping down was to rebuild the club

It's the traditional speedway game of wish lists and speculation that's happening across the EL and PL right now :)

 

 

When it's announced, LOL :)

Hawkins? They would seem the obvious 4.

 

 

I'm guessing it's going to be tungate heeps manzares and Hawkins which doesn't leave much to improve on last season

I agree the smart money would be on those 4, but I'm personally hoping for something a little more exciting. No disrespect to those 4 as 3 of them would definitely be in my 1-7, but I'm hoping for a fresh face that will intrigue and excite the fans.
