Steve0 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Big mistake signing Batch - will leave a longer tail than previous seasons - although he fully deserves to be back on merit. Doyle and Batch will take too many points in the team average. Hope I am wrong but it means that Rosco has to find a few Mueslis and Rassers on low averages IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 With the signing of Batch i don't expect you will see Jensen back.Shame really as i thought he had turned Swindon around last season after putting was it over 3pts on his average.Personally i think Jensen may find it hard to get a team place next season which is sometimes how it goes after being successful the previous season.Unfortunately in this game sometimes you are a victim of your own success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Quick maths would suggest no Rasser. If we kept Ellis, Musielak & Perks it would leave 8.45 for two spots. Edited November 22, 2019 by hyabb17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right. He is on a high average which isn’t good for team building. Whoever signs him is signing a trier though and it would be a shame if someone didn’t sign him up Edited November 22, 2019 by Steve0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well that was a surprise & I really think that Rasmus will attain his average as he isn’t a Bellego who can only ride 2 or 3 tracks. Happy that Troy is back & with Adam & Ellis nailed on it will be interesting to see what Rosco has planned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Batchelor is a much better 'second heat leader' than a No1 so it makes perfect sense to have him back.. Ht 13 and 15 should deliver points advantages most meetings (if Doyle is needed), and Doyle and Batchelor's six other heats will deliver at least three other individual victories I would suggest so Swindon can never lose points in those heats and, at home at any rate, should pick up heat advantages with at least a third for their other rider.. You can see the 8 heats (if both do Ht15), involving these two delivering at least a ten point swing in Swindons favour I would think and worst case scenario not too many 'game changing' 1-5's... Add in three from Musielak, Jensen, Ellis and Perks and you have another solid side whoever comes in lower down.. And keep more of those all important 'fan favourites' from a Championship winning team.. Edited November 22, 2019 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Taken from Totalsport Swindon “It’s been hard and I'm sure there will be a few moans as there always is about team selection,” said Rossiter. “There will be a minimum of two changes to the squad, there could be more but it depends on the way things work out. “It’s interesting trying to put a new team together given the points restriction. "I’m working hard and trying to get deals done so we will see what happens,” said Rossiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that at no time has Musielak ever said he wouldn't be doing UK next season!! So now it's out. Gonna be very interesting how the rest shapes up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentions two changes now. One would assume Vissing will miss out, the other one must be from Rasser or Tobi IMO, your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblueboy Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Doyle 8.96 Batch 8.82 Ellis 6.49 Bellego 5.80 Morris 5.38 Perks 3.57 Nielsen 3.81 Slightly above 42.50 (42.83) but I think there a few 2.5% reductions in that line up that will take it below 42.50 You could even include Alpen, in place of Bellego and sacrifice Nielsen for a 3.00 or low 3.00. Would Morris come back? I don’t know. He didn’t set the world on fire last year but I know he is capable of much better, used to be mustard at Swindon and clearly the early season injury affected him. Riding at 2 with Doyle would boost his confidence again as it has for young Adam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Happy for Troy. He deserved to keep his place. From a team-building point of view is does put a big question mark over Rasmus, who looked a more likely returnee. But Troy deserves his place, although whether it's the best move in terms of the overall strength of the team is questionable. I think this will be a team built with mid-season changes lower down the order in mind. So, does this mean that the "2 over 8" rule has been ditched?

A ORLOV Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Good signing but I hope Rosco can find good riders at the bottom end or another Rassa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Will happily take Jensen or Tobi at Ipswich if either miss out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Big mistake for me signing Troy, because a) we need to drop four points from the team and he was the obvious start; b) he’s not likely to improve on his average; c) Rasmus is the likely victim despite averaging almost the same as Troy at home and saving us almost a point on team building in comparison; d) Rasmus is the more likely to improve, especially away. Troy’s average 8.75 (home 9.08, away 8.41) Rasmus’ average 7.86 (home 9.04, away 6.54) Rosco frequently makes the wrong call with team building and he’s done it again, although it’s possibly down to Batch being cheaper regarding flights. Musielak is still on an attractive average and a must for me, so I hope he doesn’t join Rasmus in the cost cutter bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Sedgy's converted champ average will be 3.12. Him & Perks at reserve perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
