Edinburgh 2018

But  Dek  if  you re- apply your  blue and  gold  specs  you will  remember  many double  figure  hauls  at  home and away. Multiple  5-1s  with  Cookie  . 7 wins out  of  8  in  Grand finals  (against  Somerset and  Weegies) at the  dale, and  a stellar  performance  winning  the  4s  at  the  STMP.  I`m sure there  were  more. 

No  doubt  away from the  blue and  gold  vest  he  was  inferior, but I think the  harsh  handling  at BV  might  have  accelerated  that, mibees  aye  mibees  naw, but  his  ego  was  well  nurtured  by  the  Monarchs  management  team and we  certainly  saw  the  best  of  him. 

In  Sport  , going  back  rarely  succeeds I grant  you  but  this  was  one  option I  would  have  been  happy with. 

Anyway  moving on , it will  be interesting to  see  how  this  team develops  during the  year.  Like  2012  we  may  struggle  in heats  13 and  15, but I hope  Erik  will  quickly  sort that out. The  bottom of  the  team is  built  to improve  averages and  on big away  tracks Josh and Matt  will  score  much  better than  last years  fellows  who  really  struggled, so that will  compensate. This  team  will  end  stronger  than  it  starts  me-thinks

Andersson will be a good addition to the league; think he will be the best of the 3 newcomers to the league (marginally ahead of Hartel, and more than marginally better than Lindman), and will likely be the third heat leader. He almost replaced Kurtz at Plymouth a few seasons ago, but finances played their part, from what I remember.
Reckon he will average 6, maybe bit more if he takes a liking to Armadale.

Quite like the rest of the side too actually. It doesn't have the wow factor of some previous Edinburgh sides, but looks like an intriguing side, and just needs one of Andersson/M Riss /Pickering to really make the third heat leader position their own to be a serious contender.

Is he better than Mikkel B Andersen?

Oops, had forgotten about him!

I think he is, although MBA will do fine for Redcar.

it's dead easy to do well paired with a rider who was at the time probably best guy in the PL.

his numbers show a great 2nd string but no HL. He's a gater and if his head isnt right his performances go down the pan.
