Surely riders like Garrity , Newman should be moving into the teams 1 to 5 , with the better tier 2 riders like Sarg , etc

moving up to tier 1 , allowing a new crop in at tier 2.

Or isn't that the idea.

Why should you want three fast track riders instead of two

 

 

Kasprzak and Larsen certainly want to ride in Britain again and with Harris Garrity and Robson would form a decent five with Robbo dropping to reserve with Sarjeant but who would be the missing rider with about 5 left ?

Wouldn't want KK who is in the worst form I have seen him. I like Robbo but he's not the answer either.

If honest I'm still undecided about Sarjeant as spent a lot of time touching tapes. We know he has potential and what he's able of but he really needs to get that sorted.

 

I would als have King over Barker any day of the week

With Barkers PL conversation rate under 5 he has to be a serious consideration.

For the final season lets just go for entertainment value and tryers and £1 a pint in the bar. We all know Poole will win the league again anyway so........

Kenni Larsen

Chris Harris

Ben Barker

Jason Garrity

James Sarjeant

Jason Jorgensen

Adam Roynon

Let's have plenty or argy bargy, refuse to pay any fines and if we do fluke a final place hand the trophy over to Poole before the first leg and just ride for a laugh and go out smiling as the final curtain falls

 

That team wouldn't be any where near the play offs!

Think people associate Smoli with Brum now, I was just thinking Coventry through and through folk for a final fun year. Jason Jorgensen with JJ on board looking after him would just be the cherry on top for the final season.

No point aiming for the playoffs, Poole fiddle a win most years anyway 😉

don't think there would be many fans gong at the end of the season Horton would loose a lot of money with that team

King is not going to improve his average where as Barker could.

The issue with King is he only averaged just over 4 as a heat leader, so depending on how you build the rest of the team he could be stuck at heat leader doing nothing. Last year it worked as whichever one of Danny or Joonas was heat leader struggled but the other made up for it as a second string. I'd be very wary of King this year personally unless we can get someone like Lindgren who would take the heat off him as a heat leader.

Barker is an asset of ours on a 4.8 average. We've already let AJ go, we've already lost out on Hans (ok not ours but still) lets not lose Barker too.

Absolutely a 2nd string with the same format he would put 2points on that. Same with Thomsen but then with those two we will be quite short points limit wise unless we sign Doyle.

Even with the old format he was always a 6.5 man, so he'd get that whatever the format. When you consider the like of Josh Graszonek, Rich Lawson, Aaron Summers etc are only on 5-7 point averages and are about the same level...

 

And I may be in a minority but I like Ben. He pissed me off with his signing for us then jumping ship to Brum but I'm happy to forgive as you know when he's no track he's only ever going to give 100% and like Garrity and his "I'll put myself in the fence trying if I have to" you know Ben will do what it takes to win - imagine having two with that attitude in the same team! Would certainly make up for Bjerre lack of effort if that rumours true!

Seems strange to me that Hans drops his average by 2 points or so to a convenient 6,5ish, and then before the season officially ends announces he is signing for Poole the next year, how long has this been in the offing, not suggesting anything naturally!

I can see us going with exactly the same team with Barker swapped for Hans unfortunately.

 

Would be nice to get a decent heatleader to partner Harris and Kylmo, but I can't see who would come over. Larsen would be my ideal choice.

I doubt Kyle will be back.
