Wolverhampton 2016

As far as this year's team goes:

 

Lindgren. 2nd year in a row when our number one hasn't done the job needed. Personally think we've seem the best of Freddie now. Probably keep,but needs better support.

 

Karlsson. You're a legend at the Green PK, but sadly it's time to move on. His season panned out as I thought. Start well, but once the Swedish league starts, he fades.

 

Musielak. Has shown glimpses of his potential, but was always a big ask to maintain his starting average. I suspect he won't be back.

 

Wells. Again, can shine on his day, not not really likely to improve much. Maybe keep, but not as a heat leader.

 

Thorssell. I remain unsure about Jacob. Sometimes found wanting on away tracks and still far too reliant on his gating for me. Mistake to start the team building with him last Winter. I think we'll stick with him, as the management like him, but for me the jury is still out.

 

Haven't rated the ftr lads as neither are likely to be back in don't think.

 

Can't see Tai coming back next season. Think he's satisfied with his schedule now and that's that unless British schedule changes.

 

Pawlicki no chance.

Hopefully part one of the plan was dealt with when the new 3 year deal with Ladbrokes was signed :unsure:

 

What has been noticeable is that recently in most previews/match reports on the OS PK has been pushed front and centre in the quote department, no sign of the 2 architects of the 2015 debacle. Call me cynical but it feels that CVS & Adams are hiding behind PK as they know, due to his much loved status at Wolves, that this will deflect the well deserved criticism that has been aimed at them.

Just a hunch...

 

The 2016 Team

 

1. Club Legend Asset

 

2. Unheard of Dane or Swede who has "lots of potential, many clubs were interested in him" who will then become an asset

 

3. DU rider, second heat leader level in the PL, preferably an asset.

 

4. Unheard of Pole or Yank who has "lots of potential, many clubs were interested in him" who will then become an asset

 

5. Club Legend Asset

 

6. FTR from Cradley

 

7. FTR from Birmingham

 

(Only joking of course)........!?

 

We have had 'same old, same old' at BV for years. George Carswell has made a big difference to our team as he has got more involved..

 

Looks like Wolves could do with a 'fresh face' to come on board too...?

Totally agree with you we do need some new faces. Lets see what what our management can pull out of the hat. 😉😉😉 just glad this season is over I can now recharge my batteries. My ice hockey starts Sunday Telford Tigers something to look forward to. Lets hope it's beware of the Wolves. One season being a laughing stock is enough.

Signing a three year deal means nowt if the present attendance figures continue to tumble.

 

Id say there were only a few hundred Wolves fans at the last three meetings.Just cant see how those sort of figures are sustainable.

 

The only answer of course to get better crowds,is to give us a better side.Despite what the management says every close season,it never happens.

 

Fresh blood is needed both on and off the track.But dont hold your breath its gonna happen.

The reference to the 3 year deal was a tongue in cheek comment on arrangements having already been made for a move to a Wednesday race night. It would appear we're going to have to swallow it if we need riders who don't want Poland -->UK-->Sweden on 3 consecutive days. Staying on Monday will stop us dipping into this rider pool guaranteeing more of the same. When BV move to the new stadium and change their race night we're going to stick out like a sore thumb.

I suspect that he is in this position as club captain and one of the most respected riders in the sport who IMO gives a fair and honest account of the team's( incuding his own) performance when asked dont think there is any altera motive.

WOLVES LEGEND - PRESSURE ON

 

Thursday September 10, 2015

PETER Karlsson, one of Wolverhamptons club legends, admits 2016 is a big season for the club.

 

The Parrys International Wolves wrapped up their Elite League programme with two home defeats at the hands of Belle Vue and Leicester in a double-whammy on Monday.

 

And PK knows fans will expect a vast improvement when the tapes rise on a new campaign next March.

 

He said: "We are in it to win it every year like every team, and after the last two years we really need next season to be much better.

 

"We've done it before here, we've bounced back from disappointing seasons to do well and I don't see any reason why we can't do it again.

 

"This season has been tough on everyone, like I say we just haven't been good enough and when you are all trying your best but keep struggling it's not a nice feeling.

 

"To do well you have to have some bad seasons sometimes, you have to take the highs and the lows, and we hope next year we can be back on a high again.

 

"They are empty words really until we can back it up on the track, and it's going to be a long winter for sure, but I just hope next year can be a much better one for Wolves."

 

The club have one more meeting before the curtain falls on the 2015 season.

 

They are proud to be hosting the Recycled Aggregates Olympique, the longest running club individual event, on Tuesday October 6.

 

Once again the meeting will include the unique handicap format and the season ending will be officially marked by the club staging their traditional firework display.

 

Club bosses will unveil names of riders in the meeting over the next few days.

Quite an apt name for British Speedway these days sadly! :cry:
