Let's hope not

I actually wouldn't mind, I think we would have beaten any other team over 2 legs in the playoffs. Swindon proved over the last few weeks of the season they were by far the best team. Since we got to within 2 points of them in the B meeting their overall record in the 6 last home meetings was 360 - 179. That is incredible form, but luckily that team will have to be ripped apart as they are about 4 points over the average limit. The fact that we made the playoffs and, at the end of the season were probably the second best team, yet are able to redeclare the same 1 - 7 for next year, I think is a massive bonus.

I agree, Becker and Morris will definitely add points to there averages and there are other improvements in Thorsell and Douglas. If that does happen and the rest stay around the same, the team could do very well...

It's never ideal when you miss the first couple of months of the season, you're playing catch up from the start. Both Nick and Jacob suffered in that respect. I would certainly give them another chance. Nick is a much better rider than his current average

The fact is the injury he had is still causing some grief now, not enough to prevent him riding but enough to get it looked at again now the season is over.

It's incredible how so many riders keep going with some horrendous injuries. Many 'ordinary' people wouldn't even get out of bed feeling the way these riders must do let alone ride a speedway bike

Apart from Jason Garrity it just seems he cant be arsed to get out of bed to travel anywhere full stop.

And will probably want Morris back on his lowly average

Quite an easy one for me this time, I would like to see the same 7 back next year, although I can see one enforced change as I think Kyle will be at Sheffield.

At the start of this season we brought in Scott Nicholls as an injury replacement for Thorssell, and he did very well, so for me it would be a no brainer to replace Kyle with Scott.

1  Sam Masters        7.35

2  Scott Nicholls       5.50

3  Nick Morris           5.38

4  Rory Schlein          6.65

5  Jacob Thorssell    7.33

6  Ryan Douglas        4.66

7  Luke Becker           5.27

 

Total = 42.14

Hope Nick shows you the loyalty of coming back after a poor season because he didn’t do it to Swindon.
