Expand That’s a good start but although I’ll be happy just to see some speedway this year it would be nice to be challenging at the top end of the league and our only chance of doing that is if we go for Thorsell but I won’t be holding my breathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Assuming Proctor, Jorgensen and Kerr return to join Bridger and Cook how many points does that leave for the other member of the top six? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for uproar that lot moan and groan all the time anyway so would anyone even notice 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand In 2019 we had Cook AND Lambert, now we just have Cook, so I wonder where our spearhead is going to come from in Heats 13 & 15? With so many riders opting to not ride in the UK in 2021, the barrel is looking very empty at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think we are going to be relying on " strength in depth" rather than two big hitters. All relatively speaking of course,as there are very few genuine big hitters in the league this year compared to previously, but in a very weak league ,who knows who will step up.Tj at home possibly.,Tofty if he returns can be a match winner home,or away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 So other potential top twos; Kurtz & Wright/Bewley Crump & Klindt Masters & Schlein Batchelor & Holder Harris & Pedersen Would have been happy with Cook and Riss, hope we can replace Erik with somebody who can compete in heats 13 & 15. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also people talking about Plymouth having a stronger top two than PL teams might want to wait and see what Crump is like after many years retired, the CL might be his level now.
