Swindon 2016 - A New Era Starts...we Thought..


Recommended Posts

A season where Justin & Rohan have been under pressure to keep their team place but have more than done their jobs.

 

The biggest disappointments have been Nick & Josh as they have both been very inconsistent & very poor away from home especially.

 

The reserves have had their moments but Charles has been disappointing since he dropped back to reserve after his spell in the top 5.

 

A point at Lakeside is a big ask.

Sadly, this will be the end of Swindon's campaign this season. Doyle apart, the Lakeside track will be a bridge too far for the rest of the side.

 

Tungate may be amongst the points as he enjoys the slicker tracks, but I can only see 12 point defeat.

Spoke to that Justin Sedgmen at the Crown Stratton, a splendid modest young Aussie chap.

Him and Tunny have done ok this year. Only Morra hasn't really cut the mustard. Josh has struggled away, Tunny struggled at home.

Doyley superb as expected, great signing of the current world number 2, to think he was reserve when the robins won the league in 2012.

Well 2016 finishes with a whimper, onto 2017 which should promise so much. A new facility hopefully led by the new world champ, hoping to also see the return of Killer!

Lets face it we knew from the get go that the team wasn't strong enough (and the doubters took stick off the guy who selected the team when those doubts were aired!) to merit a play-off spot. To be honest they did well to push it as far as they did.

 

Rosco will have to do better in his choices next year because a new stadium will attract fresh interest and hopefully new support so a winning team is a must.

 

Its all about Jason now. He's more than capable to land the top prize. He'd make a great World Champion and having one committed to British racing would make a pleasant change.

Killer and Doyle would be great start. I like Zengy and Palm Toft. Josh and Morra disappointing, poor away, Tunny about the most inconsistent since Mads Korn.

A hard season to be honest the fixture programming awful, and most of us knew this side was never good anough.Doyley has been great he joins a list of superb no 1s we have had in our history.To be honest since 2012 the team planning has not been right for me.For 2017 i would like to have Doyley/Bomber as defo starters that leaves five more places up for grabs.

The team, Doyle apart, looked cack from day 1, I said they'd finish 5th, and low and behold they did, to start and finish with this team shows a lack of ambition, there were opportunities during the season to change things, but Rosco was happy to support the underperforming and meander to seasons meek end.
