Warren2 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Would love a real number 1, build a team to win your home meetings. Narrow home victories give you the same points as hammering someone, if you do that’s 12 wins. Ipswich made 4th with 9 homes wins, 2 away wins and 2 draws. If panthers could win at home and get the odd point away from narrow defeats or draws then the play offs would be achievable based on 2019 season. OK so 4th means you have a disadvantage possibly but I’d take 4th as progress over rock bottom in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasser90 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 What’s the betting Nicholls will be at reserve and we will have a bang average rider as “number 1” and we start the season well under the points limit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasser90 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Tungate at 1 Harris at 3 hans at 5. Then Nicholls at 7 and a Young hotshot from Scandinavia to fill the gap. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 It’s also been suggested that the signing of a number one would follow Tungate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 A new top swede would come in on a 7? So could be number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Nicholls on a 5.5 average would actually leave 6.85, so if you found someone close to that average they would ride at 1. Tungate is 6.59 so would be in at 5, with MPT at 3. 6.85 Hans MPT Harris Tungate Nicholls BWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octoberon Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Tungate riding at No.1 would be a no-no for me. If I remember correctly he hardly won the first race at home last year and it wasn't until the latter stages of each meeting that he eventually got "dialled in". Still, in the absence of anyone else what do we do. We desparately need a proper No.1 who can go out and win that first race for us and is there or thereabouts in Heats 13 & 15.... Not a No 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasser90 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I have a feeling tungate will start as number 1, can’t see a top rider signing, iversen would have signed by now. With 4 weeks to go I think the last 2 riders might be a bit of a panic buy as the saying goes. As much as I’d love to see crump back on a bike in the UK I just don’t know where or how the rumour came from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
