Wolves 2019

Howarth & Wells (if signed by Wolves) will improve their relatively poor starting averages I'm sure. As would Thorsell.

Becker is going to be very hit & miss until he settles, having a familiar face around in Wells in the team can only help.

Masters is a reasonable heatleader on a reasonable average. Still of an age where he can improve.

Reasonable 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6. 5 is key. Assume 7 will be Morris or Greaves, which is OK, but not match winning.

Ashley Morris for me, Nathan to Ipswich?

Becker looks to be an exciting signing. We know what we would get from having Morris and Greaves at 6 and 7, but we don't know what we are going to get from Becker. Things may not work out and we could be looking for a replacement mid season. But he seems to be a good prospect and if after settling in he can get to the point of regularly having the beating of opposition reserves, that would be a real boost to the team.

I suspect a top 5 of Thorsell, Masters, Morris, Howarth and Wells. That gives a fairly strong all round team and one where all 7 are capable of improving their average.

Just a question of whether we would have enough heat winners away from home.

Am I correct in saying that if 6 of our riders are Thorsell, Masters, N.Morris, Howarth, Wells and Becker, that we still will have over 5 points left for a 7th rider?

I can’t see Morris being at Wolves now we’ve Doyle. His average is a bargain & I can’t see why we wouldn’t use him.

Swindon deciding to bring back Doyle means they will almost certainly be losing one of their heat leaders in Batchelor, Musielak and Morris and Tobiasz has won the Rider of the Year and be a big suprise if he wasn't back. 

That leaves Batchelor or Morris and the latter being more of a bargain and Batchelor could be off to Ipswich or Peterborough which makes more sense than having a top heavy Swindon team. However Nick is very Midlands based and many feel a change is what he needs. 

 

Personally while he would be a good signing, Wolves may be better served with Ricky Wells 5.77 backing up Masters, xxxxxx and, Thorssell and with Howarth and Becker already signed, including Wells would leave about 4.5 for the last place and if Jake Allen fits he would start at reserve with Becker. However Swindon may see him as a good signing with Doyle back. 

 

POSSIBLY - Morris and Morris OR Wells and Allen
