It should be the promoters that post the draft list.(If there is one)Its caused total confusion since some of the reserves were announced on Tuesday.One minute Howarth is on a converted P/L average,then the next, hes on his E/L average.Then we are told all the others are on their P/L avereage(and so on)At least last season we could follow it all on a live feed,this time around the promoters might has well have had their hands tied behind their backs,and their mouths sealed with sticky tape.

 

All in another day's work at Calamity Gulch.

Sarjeant was the top tier 2 rider. Considering he had the top tier 1 rider as a team mate and issues with the start its a good achievement. Time for James to step out of Garritys shadow, sort his starts out and become a genuine tier 1 rider. How many points does he drop making mistakes at the start line? He's got it in him to improve.

He averaged 5.00 in the Premier League where as Josh Bates and Paul Starke averaged higher and I would consider those to have done better than Sarjeant did. In fact I am surprised that Bates wasn't the Tier 1 above him.

 

That said he is a good rider and will get better but it is going to be tough for him and Wolves have a very good Tier 1 in Howarth and while I like Max Clegg I think he will also find it hard next season with some good number 7s already named.

 

 

With the main body of the team at Wolves they are surely looking at a big hitting number one as the averages in 2015 means they have to get one to get upto 40.5

Adams has already stated there will be significant changes to the side from last season,(presumably meaning in the main body of the side as well as the reserves)so getting a decent number one will be the main priority.

 

When he mentioned "significant"changes in the local press,that has to put question marks against PK,Ricky and Jacob being part of the 2016 side.

Ricky has to be signed IM0.

 

Freddie and PK riding together would be good at 3&4.

 

Jacob is a decent rider but he wasnt as good as we needed him to be last year.

 

Can he kick on next season? I believe so BUT we need to be quick to make changes if it doesnt work out.

What does that leave us with for the 5th rider? Id like Zengota or Harris if possible.

so where do the "significant" changes come from then? Don't see how Wells and Thorsell can both be in the team if we are to move forward

2 Ricky Wells 5.91

3 Fredrik Lindgren 6.11

4 Peter Karlsson 5.51

6 Kyle Howarth 4.27

7 Max Clegg 3.00

 

15.70 left for two places so including Jacob Thorssell 6.18 would leave 9.52 for the final place and the only rider to fit in would be Jason Doyle 9.44 but it also means having a second string in a heat leader position which was the mistake this season.

 

 

Maybe Zengota and Batchelor or Kylmakorpi would be better than Doyle and Wells or Thorssell but the three heat leaders have to be riders that can cope with that role

Freddie soon to follow as they are best mates and both live in Andorra

Wells or Thorssell will be back and a new number one and Sam Masters 5.60 is a likely signing for the number 2 race jacket

Perhaps when riders are signed you can make such a comment.

As proved by the signing of Joonas today it might not be a side of assets.

Decent signing but I'll be happier when we have signed a few more at the top end.

So where is the statement saying Garrity is going to Wolves then? Good luck to Joonas as I like him and am sorry he's not in the 2016 Coventry team. Like Scott, Simon Stead, AJ etc. I'm sure he'll always get a good reception at Brandon.

IMO still think PK will start at four but will end up as a heatleader
