Wolves 2017


Recommended Posts

In 2004 Wolves lost the the play-off final to Poole. That year the team was Ermolenko, Max, Howe, Nermark, Skornicki, Carillo/Lindgren, Neath/Stead. Nermark got injured quite early so Wolves operated R/R for him all year. Lindgren & Skornicki spent the season swapping between 2nd string & reserve.

 

I can't even find a Polish 2nd Division average for Skornicki last season, did he even ride?

No he was a team manager.

I'm struggling to see what significance 2004 has to do with anything?

 

Should we not sign Lindgren as a No 1 as he was a reserve in 2004?

He hasn't ridden anywhere since he got injured in 2014, and had been team managing since.

1.11.15 Phil Crump Trophy, Mildura 4 pts (Grondal 10, Ringwood 6 for comparison)

8.10.16 Race of the Night Wittstock 5 pts 5th out of 5 in a group contained 4 Germans of CL reserve level at best

9.10.16 Golden Band Olching 3 pts (behind Gappmaier(6) and Simota(7))

11.10.16 Olympique Wolves 7 pts (level with Howarth and one point ahead of Tungate)

14.10.16 Poole Blue Riband 6 pts (one point less than Pedersen and Newman, and above Wozniak and Ellis)

and in those last 3 meetings he was riding a last minute bike cobbled together with an unfamilar German engine , if Adam is the wolves or any other team signing even if you only get half the rider he was in 2014 they will get a match winning second string

So despite not being race sharp, barely ridden for 2 years, on borrowed machinery he still did as well as Howarth in the Olympique and better than Tungate... and better than Wozniak and Ellis at Poole.

 

That's any questions answered regarding his ability to fulfil the role he would be needed for.

So he's ridden a few times in the last two seasons. Just why has he been given a reduction? 🙄

he has declared he was making a comeback late way thru this season so only the first meeting counts.

He has ridden in one meeting since his injury and stopped riding to team manage.

The other meetings are from the tail end of this season.

Adam Skornicki last had an average from his time at Wolverhampton in 2013 when he averaged 6.14 so his real average would have been 8.59 but after time out injured his average has been reduced to 7.22 and while he may be thought of as a gamble, that tag has been with him a few times. When he signed for Poole there was comments about him but he proved them wrong and became a firm favourite there and wherever he has been and always proved the doubters wrong.

 

If you take off the 1.4 he is at 5.16 in the old Elite League averages and as a second string against the likes of Lasse Bjerre, Stuart Robson, Kai Huckenback etc I'm sure he can still hold his own and is possibly worth a few points to any team by being in the team with younger riders he can help as he has been doing at Leszno with Piotr Pawlicki.

Adam has without doubt always given 110% effort.His commitment is undoubtedly there for all to see.Personally i believe he would do an honest job,reliable and a real team player and as already stated would do a PK's job .His experience will be invaluable.

As others have mentioned not a risk.As long as his machinery is up to scratch and he feels ready to ride,which obviously he does,then i trust cvs and Pete adams to make the correct decision.

If he is given a team place then i don't believe he will let us down

You don't see those words in the same sentence very often :D

So presumably now that Somerset have put their joke side together,and have omitted asset Sam Masters,its surely only time before Wolves announce him as their next signing.

 

But very surprised the Rebels,havent included BWD in their plans.What average would he come in on?.

Good shout TS!

 

1. Freddie Lindgren 10.09

2. Kyle Howarth 7.18

3. Sam Masters 8.97

4. Bradley Wilson-Dean 5.02

5. Jacob Thorssell 9.88

6. Max Clegg 4.34

7. Arthur Sissis 4.00

49.42

 

Gives 4.58 for the last spot...looking at riders on that figure...only Matt Williamson would be any better imo.

I think you might need to do a little more research.

 

He last rode in the UK in 2014, he was No 1 for Birmingham.

 

Skornicki has been rock steady his entire career for Wolves with very little deviation in average, usually alternating between second string and 3rd heat leader in MUCH stronger leagues. Absolutely nothing like a 'strong reserve'.

 

Now he would be effectively on an average just over 5.00 in a far weaker league and spend most likely the entire year as a second string.

The impression I got last week was that Adam may be a possibility, but isn't a first choice.

Hardly surprising.

 

I wonder how much effort was actually made with Klindt.

 

Aren't clubs meant to obtain permission to discuss terms with an asset of another club, or did that rule change?

They are but no doubt riders talk to each other, sometimes with and sometimes without the interested clubs knowledge.
