Reserves a bit dodgy but Jenkins has potential. Similar to Leicester, but better because they have three heatleaders at the top of their game (whereas Morris and Howarth have stalled), two improving second strings (although an on form Proctor and Perks could blow them away), and Lawlor who is well ahead of the Thompsons atm, with Jenkins at their level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct. The heat leaders, are top notch, but I fancy Jordan Stewart, to go to a whole new level, this season. Kasper is capable, of beating a lot of heat leaders, (especially around the MPA). The reserves are both racers and if they give, a decent account of themselves, that side will go a long way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Really pleased with the team - delighted to see the top 5 back. Thought we might have to break it up. 3 top heat leaders, with Stewart hopefully pushing them this season. On paper not the strongest at reserve - but plenty of potential there. If one of the reserve catches fire it could be one of the teams to beat. Very happy - well done promotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan came back from serious injury this year, and then suffered all sorts of expensive mechanicals early season taking the fun right out of his speedway. Very much on a false NL average and is a solid prospect at Championship level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Bit of a gamble at reserve but probably one worth taking. Jenkins has a lot of potential and I was impressed with Lawlor last season - an NL average increase of almost 1.5 shows there could be more to come.

Having seen the Thompson's & Lawlor at Leicester this year I wouldn't say Lawlor is well ahead. More experienced yes but ability wise there is not much in it. Across both Stoke matches at Leicester he only managed to beat a Thompson once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Jordan Jenkins looked decent prospect in few outings for Brummies and he and Lawlor won't be passengers. Very strong top 5 easily best top 3 in League in Wright / Riss and MP-T Stewart looks a bit wild but a lot of people who know a lot more than me rate him highly. Some very strong top 5's in the League this year could come down to Reserves. Brummies look very strong in that department! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabba59 Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Very good top 5 also think the two reserves will hold their own and also one of the best tracks in the championship with scunny Glasgow and Somerset so looking forward to the season...

Yes, I know, but there is little point coming into the CL and not being able to do better than 2. That’s why I think 7 CL should be a minimum requirement. I would also require new CL riders to achieve 3 within two seasons or have to revert to the NL for a season. Keeping Phillips in the CL has done no one any good. Ryan Kinsley achieved 3.17 in his first season but hasn’t got a team yet because of too many premature 2 pointers being allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
