Who has signed Rasmus Jensen? Expand Considering the expense involved it is a strange one as thought even he would have looked at the Poole - Spaniak situation last season. Also with so much cost cutting someone like a Rasmus Jensen or even a NBJ would seem to make more sense one would assume a lot less expense. Maybe Ipswich will go after Jensen as plenty of positives were being posted on our Poole page at what we thought was going to be our other reserve. How wrong those who had certain inside info were, unless he was over what Ford could/would pay with his now restricted budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Lampart is a really big risk imo. He was poor here the last time and I’ve not seen enough development internationally to make me think he will be any better this time. Swindon have the best top 3. Period. It’s absolute quality and it will drag them through the majority of meetings but I think they will just miss the mark when it really matters with that tail. It’s just too long. They will easily make the play offs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away, the only expectation should be two points in heat 8; any more is a bonus. But hagonshocker is right, with the 1.5 conversion rate there are plenty of good CL riders who could replace him (including Summers 4.58 and Rasmus Jensen).

Expand Lampart actually did not do to badly over here in 2012. he averaged overall around 5.83.He contributed quite alot that year and arguably it was a tougher league then.But make no mistake it is a tough ask for him but if he can average 5 i will be happy if not we can replace him.

Any number two scoring 4 away has done well, unless of course he's against a weaker opposition number two, in which case 4 points is a reasonable expectation and 6 is doing well.
