foreverblue Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 So no Hans and no AJ. I hope the club have a nice surprise for us! History would seem to tell us otherwise! Hans has always had stropy moment then he is happy again before another sulk. I was hoping he'd get over his strop and sign for us again, especially once AJ had signed for Lakeside. I bet we get left with Zengota now, or even worse we just swap him for Barker and keep the same team! Zengota had a good season for Swindon don't know why you wouldn't want him in your team.

Woz01 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'd rather us run with a 3 point young Brit all season than go with him! Options don't immediately look great, perhaps Larsen could be tempted to come back? Would be happy with that in the absence of any obvious out and out number ones. Agree with Larsen, improved since his last stint with us. Much will depend who is in this heatleader list. There will likely be riders on a lower average who are in the list than ones who are 2nd string, Lindgren for example will be a heat leader but his average is 6.1. Gonna ride mid-week then. If he leaves Leicester, Kings Lynn got to be the favourite. Surely he could ride Friday, we don't ride Friday on GP weekends. Lindback? Depends if he gets a GP place though. Would love that but I doubt he'll want the extra workload. History would seem to tell us otherwise! Zengota had a good season for Swindon don't know why you wouldn't want him in your team. Big risk on a 7.8, depends on the format I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game On Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 No names stand out do they? Doyle may leave Leicester, might be an option? He won't come as he will cost more than a fiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Zengota had a good season for Swindon don't know why you wouldn't want him in your team. Because he's not the 5th best rider in the league. More like 15th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fliss44 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I won't be popular for saying this but I wish we were riding in the premier league. More ''racing'' less egos and no worries about riders in the G.P.'s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Now whenever I have seen U15 racing they got on with it and all seemed to be running around, helping each other, encouraging each other. I'm sure they can be stroppy little buggers because they're teens but I wouldn't have said egos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattK Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Are you saying he isn't worth the average he has attained! Yes. Zengota rode most of the season as a secondstring. With his average of of 7.79 he would also certainly have to ride as a heatleader in 2016. In the five meetings he rode for Swindon as a heatleader he averaged just under 5.5.

G the Bee Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 All I can say is that I would have been disappointed if Hans Andersen had been in the team next year 'false' average or not. He really was dire this year and his poor form really messed up the balance of our team. The fact is, there are few false averages. Hans is a 6-7 point rider now. At least at Coventry he is. He's been on the slide since he first left Coventry at the end of 2008 when he was a genuine world-class heatleader. A move to another club might rejuvenate him (I suspect it won't) but if all Coventry were going to get was more of the same then, to be honest, it's a case of 'Close the door on your way out, Hans'. The only 2 of last year's team I would definitely want back are Harris and Garrity. Otherwise, we need to shake the whole team up. I'd like to see Doyle if he wants away from Leicester. Suspect he's earmarked for elsewhere though. I'd certainly be happy to see Larsen back. He's on 6.57 I believe, which is only 0.12 higher than Andersen and certainly at Brandon I think would be worth more to the team in terms of points that Hans was this year. To be honest, assuming we retain Bomber and Jason, he'd be the first name on my shopping list. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
