42.31 I think

Decent looking team also....I dont think Ipswich is kyles best track tho and think we could get more value for his average....

 

Campton 5.74

Porsing 5.67 - converted prem 2017 average dont know if older champ average would still count after last years messing about with them?

Manzares 5.43

BWD 5.92

Mark Riss 5.76

 

Would actually really like to poach Erik Riss from Edinburgh on 8.08 goes well at foxhall

Campton did well for us guesting but dont rate him as highly as Kyle

 

Porsing no thanks - lots of show but little substance IMO

 

Gino must be in the mix

 

BWD - Did great at reserve but a bit flaky on the 1-5

 

M Riss is one I would be more than happy with - has great potential and for tgat reason alone cant see Edinburgh letting go (same with Erik)

 

Can see your point about Kyle and Foxhall although its not like he struggles and is always good value to watch (Equally important to me)

 

And you dont need 7 home specialists to be successful. Need to think about away as well. That is where losing Nico for example last hurt us so much.

Hard to disagree with most of this! I do think porsing has always ridden very well at Foxhall tho and with some stability could make a mockery of his average!

 

I just feel with Kyle he overturns too much and scrubs his speed off, leaves him vulnerable to a high side - something weve seen sadly happen and cause injury too often this season! Often when out in front and supposedly cruising too!

 

All this being said injury free Kyle is a far better rider than we saw this season and I wouldnt be unhappy to see him line up again next year 👍🏻

Just read the BSPA statement. One whinge, the KOC draw, looks like all teams will be riding the same teams that they're riding in the league cup. I appreciate it's the luck of the draw, but couldn't they have put teams from the same area in different pots?

You have to wonder whether there was a draw at all.....

 

Looks more like just ensuring a couple more local derbies before the comp really starts at the QF stage.....

My thoughts exactly

Looks like we were right. KoCup draw was regionalised to ensure extra local derby

Nobody is including Nathan😭 also Chris said he wasn't going to rip team up from last year much, but suspect we'll lose Rory but please not the American!!!

Id be more than happy to have Nathan back but dont think it will happen.

Thanks for that bruv. So last season we were guaranteed 19 home meetings, next season looks like 13. Nobody bothers with individual meetings these days, but some clubs will have to invent some meetings to fill the gaps. I'm sure we'll have a strong side that will progress in most competitions, but fans of some clubs will have a lot of blank weeks.

Trust me..I've mentioned him plenty of times..not on here yet though. I did say he would be the first name on my team sheet at the end of last season.

A Kings Lynn challenge for openers perhaps....

Purely down to numbers from my point of view Badge. I thought Nathan was outstanding this year but for me theres better value going with Danyon and Jenkins at the bottom end as two 2 pointers.

 

Ive come up with some teams myself that included Nathan, but they didnt look anywhere near as impressive as the potential teams that included Hume and Jenkins.

 

Hume is a shoe in for one of the reserve spots, and as a regular at Mildenhall well regret not including Jenkins who is a super talent and IMO will up his 2.00 average more than Greaves will up his.

 

If we dont sign Jordan then you can bet your last Rolo that somebody else will and theyll get the advantage of his 2 point average. We cant let that happen.

Am I right in thinking Jenkins would become an asset of any Championship club he joins? He’s got to be in the mix surely. Was a regular at Foxhall this season and was included as #8 in a few meetings.

 

Drew Kemp is another we need to keep an eye on. Too young this year I think? But a young Ipswich lad being tipped for a bright future who has started his career very well at Mildenhall. Maybe one for 2019.

I think the same.

 

Take the 7 I posted.

 

To fit in Nathan for Jenkins you would need to drop Nico for a Morris/Aryes/Pickering or Kyle for say Connor.

 

Both combinations without Nathan would be better IMO

Drew isn't 16 until August so unless they have changed the 'No changes after 31st July' he won't do any Championship before 2019, which prob best let him concentrate on Mildenhall next year.
