Danny Connor Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Since 2000. i didn't even know the sport existed until i was 15! if i had then i would have been hooked much sooner! I was there for the Nicki era where he was the only real consistency towards the end of the Wagstaff era! Ulamek, McGowan, Tom p, Freddie Erriksen etc! Would be a fancied team probably with this new team building limit (i gist). then the premier league! as much as it was enjoyable to be dominant, teams turning up with riders who couldn't even slide the thing did make it a bit chorish at times to view. We look back remembering the positives but there were so many 1 sided meetings that the move back to the EL was amazing. Seems like the last couple of years its been easy to lose that buzz at times though. Topinka, Doolan, Nermark, Tacey etc! Loved watching Tacey! Once he mastered the track! And now its Neils who holds my affection! Id love for him to ride this season but doubt he will! Id build a team with 3 solid heat leaders and 1 solid reserve! 2 point number 7! My preferred team! 1 Neils/holder 2 Porsing * 3 Lambert 4 what fits 5 Cook/Kylmakorpi 6 kai 7 give a young 2 pointer a chance and if we struggle sacrifice him! Problem is Neils is unlikely. our problem in the past has been inconsistency! its always that 6-7.5 bracket (unconverted) (Batchelor, Schlien, Bjerre, Lambert, Milik, Mads, and even magic) so to build a team around riders of that average that and call it strength in depth, to me just comes across as inconsistency in depth. I think because of this new limit though there will be a lot of inconsistencies in teams what should make it an unpredictable season (minus poole running away with it) Id have as many consistent riders as possible! if they are snapped up though maybe consider Bech, Mrozka, Gomolski, Museliak, Lawson?, Masters, . At a fee though probably! thats the difference between now and 15 years ago though! we are talking price before we talk averages it seems All this is just opinion though for what its worth! feel free to shoot it down in pure forum fashion!

Speedball Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 i still think holder rose batchelor porsing lambert huckenbeck bailey is the best team we could track. That's the team I'm hoping for if there is no Niels (which seems likely) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Even if there was we should be going down a different road with team building, both were poor last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Am i missing somthing as this guy name seem to be coming up alot Gomolski ? Young improving rider with UK experience and an old average, and Swedish stats that rate him above Hans Andersen, Pepe Protasiewicz, Scott Nicholls, Sam Masters and Robert Lambert.... ...I can see why he might be a target.

Danny Connor Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Well. If a rider wants a place to work over here but nobody else wants him then that 0 percent probably grows a little. I like the pair of them but they are are both really inconsistent riders. And us being loyal fans we probably remember the good performances more than the poor. If they don't want to ride for us it's no real loss with the new building rules. Unless they were owed money what I really doubt then I don't see why they would have a problem. You don't get dropped if your doing an amazing job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Kenneth Hansen? I'd be more than happy with that . I think there could be a chance for Rory now there is a change of managerthe manager isn't the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 With Mikkel B Andersson signing for Swindon,which must be on a 5pt average to fit in with their current averages.I would now like to see Patrick Hansen sign.He was excellent in the last 2 rounds of the World U 21s last season. So my team now is, Holder 12.53 Lambert 8.92 Batchelor 7.36 Porsing 6.99 Huckenbeck 5.14 P.Hansen 5.00 Bewley/Ayres 4.00/3.70 Team ave 49.94/49.64. If Batchelor were to regain his form it would be 3 decent HL's,decent 2nd strings and always a strong reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Am I wrong in thinking positive. With young Holder signing for the Panthers, it wouldn't be much more of an issue if both, he and his brother, were based in this area. Thinking along those lines I am more confident now that Chris could be our new No 1 .... Fingers Crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Chris is still very friendly with the family that he lodged with when he first rode over here, & they live in Whittlesey. He always pays for a box at Cardiff for them, top bloke in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
