That’s a really, really strong top 2 that. At home. Still as has been the case in the top league for a while, the first three months don't really matter, it's the team you have for the summer months/playoffs that counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Very pleased with the signings of Fricke and Bjerre. Bjerre's lower average gives us more room to strengthen the bottom end of the team, which is what cost us some meetings last season. If he can achieve his 2017 form we shall have a strong top 2 particularly, at home. I'm sorry to see Craig go. I think he will have a good season. I hope he does and wish him well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenspoon Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 If Kenneth can repeat his form of 2017, he had a home average of 10.17, & an away average of 8.00, we will have a very strong top two. I would like to see us get Jack Holder as he has potential to improve his average, and was exciting to watch at the NSS last year. Just think what a treat we have when Cookie and Rohan return for the opposition at the NSS, both busting a gut to prove the management wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid top 2, as good as anything in the league imo. Then good 2nd strings of which any will step up on a given night and become a 3rd heat leader. Oh and strong reserves. Will be a play off team I have no doubt about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradford Ace Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Wouldn’t go for Berge personally although Lemon seems to like him. Flattered to deceive for us at end of season and wasn’t much better than what we let go. just looked at his Championship average as well and didn’t realize it was just 5.03??? Persoanlly I would rather go with one of the 2 young Aussie lads, Pickering or Campton alongside Lidsey. All Aussie boys together so should get on well and maybe have a bit of friendly rivalry as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) If that is the team I can understand that some will see a few question marks, has Worrall recovered mentally and physically to be back to his form at the beginning of 2018, will Dan be fully recovered and quickly get back to his pre injury form and will Lidsey settle in to the the British tracks and do a good job at reserve? I'm confident that we have a good top 2, that Dan will carry on where he left off, Lidsey will show what an outstanding prospect he is, that we have two solid second strings who will also produce some match winning performances and that Berge will do well at the NSS and some of the away tracks. It's difficult without knowing all of the other line ups but I think we can get into the play offs. If things go wrong we can play the game and make changes mid season.

KIRKYLANE Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Well pleased with the signing of Fricke and Bjerre, As long as we sign racers rather than riders, that will do me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you feel about the rumoured 1-7? 1. Max Fricke 2. Ricky Wells 3. Dan Bewley 4. Steve Worrall 5. Kenneth Bjerre 6. Jaimon Lidsey 7. Dimitri Berge If that is the rumoured team, it is relying heavily on Lidsey being assessed at 4.00. The other question I would have is that if this is plan "a" team, do we have a backup plan if for example that Dan Bewley is not fit at the start of the season. We do not want a repeat of the Steve Worrall situation of last season, where we had constant guests & R/R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Bjerre had a 10+ point home average in 2017 and 8 away from home. If he can get near that then he will be a great signing. It's a like for like signing for me signing bjerre for cook. Lidsey is a great talent but will need time to settle in. Worrall should be fine. Got all winter to get even fitter. His leg will be even stronger than before the break now. Bewley is the big risk but hopefully kildermand will be in for the first no1 th or 2 as a temp replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also say Cook scoring 3, FX, FX, 1' = 4+1 at Wolverhampton also cost us! I know which rider I prefer and its not Cook! Personally I would like both, Kenny makes us stronger at home. Craig made us stronger away, however ML had decisions to make and choose Kenny for his strength around the NSS and his lower average gave us extra lower down the order.

WestGorton1884 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) It’ll be Interesting to see what the middle order / reserves will be ? BV need riders who will regularly score 6 / 7 points away from the NSS , it’s this that has let the Aces down in recent years Edited December 11, 2018 by WestGorton1884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acef Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I don’t often agree with Geoff but he’s bang on here. That Swindon team has a long tail and will struggle on the road. One of those heat leaders has a bad day and there will be trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
