Swindon 2017


Recommended Posts

Would you expect Doyle to lose a race at either venue as i wouldnt.

 

Doyle @ Rye House 15 from 5, Morris @ Rye 8 from 5, Ellis say 6 from 4 = 29 points

Kennett @ Rye House 12 from 5, Nicholls @ Rye say 9 from 5 and Harris say 8 from 4 = 29 points.

 

At Swindon i would expect Kennett to score less and maybe Morris more so at Swindon no chance for the Rye riders.

 

Have to say those 2 top 3 riders from each team look very well matched and proves you can go big with having Doyle

Don't bother with Gater as Nick is on average very good round Swindon so that is tosh for starters.

 

I for one would rather have up & coming riders that those on the slide.

 

Nick had a porrish season but his average was on a par with both Bomber & Scott & we all know what happens to Eddie under pressure.

Both sets of Heat leaders cant get 29 points combined in the same meeting.

Your missing my point.

 

The 3 heat leaders in both sides look the same to me with perhaps Swindon having the advantage that they know their number 1 will get 14 or 15 pretty much every week

When have you seen the home team's 3 heat leaders score 29 points combined and the away team's 3 heat leaders also score 29 points combined in the same meeting.

 

;)

 

Tick tock tick tock. :t:

Get a grip for christ sakes

 

You know full well im pointing out that i think the two top 3's should get roughly the same.

Here we go again, another thread ruined by the rutting trolls.

Only one troll tbh. Gavan is making perfectly reasonable points. Starman has been absent for a few pages. Off season and seems Gater1 has extra time for trolling.

I agree that Doyle/morris/Ellis will score roughly the same as the rye house trio of heat leader, albeit they are on a couple of points highwe starting average.

Still think Swindon are best suited signing a 3rd hl (even if Ellis technically starts the season as 3rd hl due to higher average).

Rye's would have the beating of Swindon's at Rye.

 

If Morris doesn't double up then he could stuggle again this season. EK, Harris and Nicholls all go well around Swindon. Ellis will find it tough as a Heat Leader.

Nick still managed to average nearly the same as Harris & Nicholls in 2016 when having a pourish season.

 

Poland knocked his confidence & he had bike problems so not all down to not doubling up.

 

My reply had nothing to do with the heat leaders scoring 29 points each but the fact that Nick, Harris & Nicholls averaged the same but yet Nick is the only one who will struggle.

I think as a neutral Morris has talent and imo most of his issues are in his own head as he has the ability if applying it.

 

I believe he has at times maybe had attitude problems which would have been better channelled into his riding rather than being viewed as a bit of an Aussie tearaway. Maybe thinking too much he was another Darcy Ward and trying to match Darcy but in the wrong way.

 

I would not give up on him and I think a double up would do him good personally. Give some Champ riders a beating more to help his confidence as I think he is one who thrives more when his mood is positive. I also think a move out of Polsh Extralia to the lower division will also help his progress and confidence. He still has time to make it big if he channels it positively. Just my opinion.

Morris is no risk on that average. Expect hecwill average less than harris but comparable to nicholls or Kennett, though he is likely to rude more heat 15s which may put his average fractionally below the eye riders.

Thinking about it, I actually think doyle/morris/Ellis will be good for 29 points a meeting, whereas I would see the rye trio closer to 27/28. I'd be happy with either set as my opening signings.

Swindon has just been awarded the World Under 21 Championship Final First leg on July 23rd.

The bspa report states it will be held in the new stadium, hope it is finished by then haha.

It is a shame the max capacity of the new stadium is lower than the current track.

Note to Rosco, get young Hansen signed up.

His Danish league scores weren't too hot! We can do better with two of Kerr, Musielak, Busk-Jacobsen or Rasmus Jensen.

Possibly, they do have uk experience.

The year before last Nick looked so good, but he wet downhill this year.

 

If Nick can regain form then he'd be a good second heatleader but it is a risk.

 

Adam Ellis as third heatleader has alarm bells ringing for me, but I don't know enough to form an informed opinion.

 

Last year at Swindon he scored 1 from 3 riding in Poole's top 5. And his 1 point was because someone was excluded.
