You also predicted that Ipswich would definitely finish bottom and by some distance and we’re comfortably the “worst top flight side we’ve ever seen” 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAST GATER Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I don't see how anyone can't include Doyle( personal feelings about him aside) in their list as he is the outstanding rider in the league 2019 but then I feel the standard of riders in The PL is nowhere near what it once was .I am not alluding to dreams of the 70's but even over the last 5/10 yrs sadly the level of top class riders has evaporated at an alarming rate due to money and the increasing demands on top GP riders . I have said before the SON real brought home to me the true level of of how far the standard of riders in the PL has sunk.

hagonshocker Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 12 hours ago, Col said: He is being lauded as a world beater this year. But he isn't being lauded as that...he's a rider that's nearly doubled his PL starting average and gone from being a 7 point CL rider to a near 9 pointer...in fact take away his average first month or so he probably would had pushed Cook even closer in the way he's ridden for Glasgow since joining Swindon , a slightly above average rider going up a couple of levels most certainly a case for Rider of the year across both leagues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has shown he has the talent in the past but has added consistency Whether that upward curve can be maintained or indeed if he can even maintain his new average is the issue. It does make him a greater risk for whichever team he signs for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Tbh Rasmus made a decent step in Denmark and Sweden over the past couple of seasons before he did on uk shores, can see him comfortably maintaining a 3rd heat leader berth in top flight and continuing to clean up for Glasgow in second tier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 He could continue in a similar way to Kildeman who also looked little more than a solid 2nd tier rider only a couple of seasons before he broke into the world scene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't I having seen how badly he performed in the Swedish playoffs predict it? Yes of course, only Jacob lost it for the Wolves in the play offs. 12 hours ago, Col said: When it was announced, that is what I thought it was.

So basically you got it wrong. in all honesty I bet there wasn’t one person who predicted different at the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) My short term predictions are better than my long term predictions. Both hold more merit than your Wolves/CVS/Adams blind faith optimism. Edited October 22, 2019 by Col 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Connor Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Charles Wright! A coming of age season for him! Something for Peterborough fans to get excited about. M p t. Often the difference maker in a very inconsistent team. Max fricke! Now a class rider Rasmus Jensen! No explanation needed Jake Allen . Him and heeps were the reason Ipswich had the good crowds! They were the reason they had a great 2/3 of the season Shout out to lidsay Becker klindt batchelor and Adam Ellis. All difference makers. I know it's too league but that's all I seem to get time to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus point king & isn’t stupid that he realises a higher average would scupper Swindon next season as they would be mad not to have him back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
