thecoombdog Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Think that team looks alright as well. Gonna be a good season based on the teams named so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestGorton1884 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Quite a strong looking line up , obviously a lot will depend on Dan's fitness and how long it takes Lydsey to settle in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I know it's only on paper but I don't think there's anything in this team to class them as title contenders. Wolverhampton and Swindon look better and Peterborough's 4 look stronger than Belle Vue's top 4 imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) I have to agree with Daniel Smith - looks a poor team (likely to be better than Ipswich) but can’t see them making the playoffs with this starting seven - just my opinion Edited December 13, 2018 by Steve0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Think this team will do well. Will always have strong reserve(s) and the top 5 will be solid enough. All depends on Lidsey and how he takes to British Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acef Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 The only risk is Dan. Otherwise, that is a play off team. Good top 2, really solid second strings of which anyone can step into 3rd heatleader. Much better reserves than last year as well. Happy overall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Very happy with the team myself. Good top 2. Only just behind Swindon for top 2 Very good 2nd strings in wells and Worrall. Bewley is a big risk. But by play off time he should be back into the swing of things. And its deffo a risk worth taking. Berge is a bit meh. But at belle vue He will be a good reserve. Lidsey will be dynamite. Can't wait to see him fly round belle vue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Interesting selection, hope Bewley is fully fit for the start of the season. You do realise Lidsey averaged less than Josef Franc in Polish Div 3 last year? Edited December 13, 2018 by Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On bare figures yes- but not a great difference but the key is that Franc only had 5 meetings(which could have been all at home!!!) whereas Lidsey did 10. Lidsey is the better rider no doubt.

mikebv Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Strength in depth is key so having a couple of 'decent reserves' all season can only be a plus... Big question marks on Worrall and Bewley in the 'engine room' as both coming back from serious injuries but as we know, it's not where you start in Speedway, it's where you finish... And this team does give the Aces a chance to assess how it's going in the first couple of months and possibly make changes higher up the order if needed to push for the play offs, without losing that reserve strength.. Replacing a couple of 'middle order riders' with a big hitter (if you can get one) and a slightly lesser second string later in the season, while keeping solid reserves, could be a winning formula...

stevebrum Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Be interesting to see Lidsey ride and once dialled in will do well at home. Away maybe a struggle just like Etheridge did. Big ask for Bewley to be fit for start of the season. I certainly hope he is. a fairly decent side but need to view it against others when all announced.
