Haza Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 For that average it's disappointing but look at it slightly differently in that, for him to improve the team he only has to be a 5.00 - 6.00 average man compared to Porsing's 4.69. At home be has to better Porsing's 5.05, all very achievable imo. All in all, an improvement on what we had. well I guess he's not got to score many to out score Porsing.

tellboy Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) well it must be me - I m really disappointed with that signing Give the bloke a chance,blimey.Who would you have gone for on a 7.3 or lower.This also keeps the average in Porsings position higher i guess.So if they don't want to bring Porsing back i assume they will still have a 7.3 average to play with until Jorgensen attains one.It doesn't state he is only cover for Porsing until he's fit,so i guess he has replaced him. He's also beat some decent riders in the championship like R.Lambert,S.Worrall,R.Worrall,Masters,Wells Edited June 19, 2017 by tellboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Very little around who would have fitted and not a name I had thought of but he has started the season quite well and knows the tracks lets see how he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Let's get behind Thomas Jorgensen and give him a chance to show what he can do. He can't be any worse than Porsing. Stevan Nielsen at number 7 would be good if averages allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickitov Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Must confess, not seen a great deal of Jorgensen. Based on the British Final so far, Ben Barker would have been a good option. Goes well on small tracks too! Let's hope Jorgensen turns out to be a good signing. Looking forward to seeing him on Wednesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Barker is one of the names I'd thought of, along with Wolbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Average too high it would seem. Edited June 19, 2017 by Gordon Bennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Average too high it would seem. With regards to who? Barker's average is less than Jorgensen's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Average too high it would seem. Not so. Jorgensen 7.30 Barker 7.26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 i hope your right and I'm wrong - It would probably be something of a precedent, but I hope so too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 With regards to who? Barker's average is less than Jorgensen's. Yep you are right, I was looking at the wrong figures. Can't be long until someone signs him after last night's performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yep you are right, I was looking at the wrong figures. Can't be long until someone signs him after last night's performance. He is something of an enigma Sometimes he's brilliant, other times anything but.. If he could perform consistently, like he did last night, there would be clubs queueing up for his signature. It must be frustrating for Team Managers and fans not knowing which Barker was going to turn up... Last night was the perfect window of opportunity, lets hope he can consolidate his obvious talent ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Barker enjoyed a decent night. Difficult to base on one meeting though. Look at the likes of Chris Harris. Untouchable around Saddlebow a few short weeks back. Last night could'nt make the top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Should have signed barker imo Much more exciting talent to watch - Barker that is. Especially around Saddlebow Rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I suggested Barker last season and the season before and got roundly shouted down. Amazing what one good meeting on TV will do !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I suggested Barker last season and the season before and got roundly shouted down. Amazing what one good meeting on TV will do !!! He's was always capable of that. The problem with Barker is he is so inconsistent. If he would ride every week like he did last night, every club in the country would be queueing up for him.... But they are not. That answers all the questions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 few mentions about having Barker in the team, but something that needs to be remembered is that we already have a couple of Australians in the team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 The guy could fall out with his own shadow. It's not just Aussies I don't think he discriminates. Seem to recall him and Cook had a few issues one night at Ipswich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
