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


Recommended Posts

Burnt his bridges in his play off performances and turned the majority of his faltering support against him with his ill judged and poorly thought out "speech" prior to the farewell meeting.

Think he'll be too high in average....if the second FTR comes in at 3 points then only leaves little over 4 points in there I think. Ben Barker, Rasmus Jensen?

Yes just worked it out with averages, so Jason and a 4 pointer or two 6.5 point riders.

In any side you build you need people with the potential to significantly improve their average. I rate Doyle highly and thought Zengi was fabulous at times last year the challenge is can either kick on again and improve significantly, would be hard for them. Morris has improved year on year amd probably would again, however would also be tough for him to put a point for example on his average. If we go with those 3 we need second strings with real potential, I'd be keen to see Sam Masters who in my view has real potential to improve his average . Kildemand is a steal and absolute must if he is interested any suggestion where else we go for "wildcard with massive potential to improve?

Very true. This is why we need to be looking at riders such as Michelsen, Kolodziej or even Thomas H Jonasson who could comfortably do a "Zengota" and add two points to their average.

Michelsen is a steal & I was surprised the Bees didn't try for him when Robbo was out, could have made a huge difference to their league position, hopefully Rosco is considering him & heeding the fans wrath regarding Batch.

yet batch has potential to improve his average, hard to see zengota improving his, given he averaged only around 5.4 as a hl last year compared to batchs 7.

i can understand batch being unpopular, but he is surely a more effectuve use of points.

presumably zengi wont be ckassed as a hl, but who knows

that said id be aiming for a hl trii of doyle killer and morris, and 2nd srtings others have mentuoned such as michelsen.

I don't understand any logical reason as to why Zengota wouldn't be classified in the Heat leader list - especially as he finished top of Swindon's averages. Its the same with Hans Andersen at Coventry, even though he finished as a 2nd string, he will be in the list as one of Poole's 'heat leader-standard' riders!!

Depends what criteria they are using! How much of it is averages and how much on riding positions in the team?

The sooner this aforementioned list is published the better!!

 

Regarding the point about Batchelors potential to improve upon his current average. I don't dispute that, my issue and the issue of others is more with his lack of performance when it really mattered and subsequent comments.

 

I'd love to see Michelson or ThJ, what average Kornelliussen?

Don't hold your breath, the list won't be published before the AGM & I'm sure that those rules will get a tweak rather than be rubber stamped at the AGM. Rosco said in his recent interview that some promoters thought the changes weren't quite right.

Possibly because he spent most of the season as a second string!
