Total 42.46? Expected end of season averages based on Morris & Clegg spending the majority of the season at reserve (both their starting averages are after riding mostly all season in the top 5): Jorgensen 8, Rose 7.5, Lindgren 7.5, Robson 7, Wilson Dean 7, Morris 6 and Clegg 5. Total 48. Should be competitive. Especially as all bar Lindgren will also ride in the Premiership. No out and out No1 but if you can't afford one use up the points with riders who can improve. I still fondly remember the season we started with Thorpe and Lamb at reserve. Strongest reserve pairing ever???? Jorgensen? Why? He had struggled at BP in the past and l’m not sure how resilient he is. Not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniew Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I reckon they're putting off a decision on Kennett/Nichols until after they have both retired! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also is Newcastle through and through but his down fall is letting things get to him after a bad race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted his GREENSHEET average has never reached 8.00, but with bonus points last season it did. People say he doesn't team ride but he scored 29 bonus points last year, beaten only in diamonds colours by Ash (33). His away average was only 0.2 less than Robbo's, and his comparable with nearly all 7-8 pointers. He had a higher away average than anyone from Berwick (for example) except Morris. He is what he is. A solid no. 3/4. There are very few (if any) riders scoring 7-9 points regularly away from home who aren't genuine no. 1's (even if some are 2nd heat leaders. People say he shouldn't be captain yet I haven't heard any rider (team member or guest) say team spirit in the pits isn't great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauger65 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Lindgren averaged 8.09 inc bp and was 22nd in league His cma was 7.30 and 23rd in league However at home he averaged 9.33 and was 17th ...... but away was only 6.63 and was 29th ! his differential was of only 2.70 was beaten by the following (at least 12 meetings) ellis perks 2.76 Ashley morris 2.89 max clegg 2.88 Robert brandford 2.92 jan graversen 3.22 - all reserves and ... wait for it lewis rose at 3.25 so luddo like a few other diamonds were at little disappointing away from home 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I posted earlier all riders around his average are all similar in their scoring. Surely people must enjoy watching him. I think he's entertaining and a real trier.
