thecoombdog Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 As Perks and Ellis are certs what does that leave us for the last 2? I'm guessing about 2.5!! Seems a bit mad to be going down this route but I will wait to be surprised with the last 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimum average for any rider in top league is 3.00. The signing of Jensen has effectively ruled out Tobiasz and Adam.

That would be a barmy decision IMO. Both of those have more improvement in their averages than any of the heatleader trio Swindon have just signed. Providing the Pole was up for a return, those two should have been the first names on the team sheet after securing Doyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Like Batch, I never saw that coming. Can’t see any team matching this top 3 but will be interesting to see the bottom end of the team. Welcome back Rasser - surely means no Alpen now?

So that’s Ellis Perks in the main body, and a couple of 3ish pointers at reserve. That’s crazy IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honesty think Rosco would build a team with three reserves with one being in the main body. Highly unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingRacer2017 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Doyle, Batchelor & Jensen all signed up with Nick Morris as solid back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Irving Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Can’t quite get my head around this it’s a bit bizarre. You had to shed how many points off your total? All logic says you do that by dropping one of your heatleaders on expensive averages. As has been said, I don’t see improvement in any of the three signed. Jensen has been knocking around for a few years now and only last season looked the real deal. Swindon need to hope that wasn’t just a purple patch otherwise they’ll be up sh!t creek.

Dont worry about the tail Bagpuss we are going to score about 40 pts plus everyweek even on a bad day.Our strength is in heats 13/15 and at reserve we have in Ellis Perks a rider who can improve again.At reserve with that top end strength some weeks we can afford for our reserves to only have to score 5/7 points between them.

Grachan Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Good to see Rasmus back. Surely Ellis has to be in the side, too, which leaves three 3 pointers at the bottom end. I will not be happy is Adam Ellis gets left out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
