An exciting prospect (Rule change though without any AGM announcement re min average) Madness. The 3 point minimum was one of the few innovations that makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I like giving the Brits a helping hand so if it's under 3 for them it's fine by me It is the fact that such a crucial element of the sport is unknown to those it should be most concerned about - the fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Of the last rider named (after Adam) is who i was told weeks ago then the bottom away in particular could be a disaster....at least until next averages come out ,really hope we've decided against it and try a potential ringer instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Good to see a young Brit been given a chance in reserve. Is it too early for his career tho? Good luck young Anders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck young Anders. To be fair to him I thought riding at number two for Somerset might be too soon for him last season but he took it on his stride. Different matter of course in the Premiership but I wouldn’t bet against him holding his own, seems like a quick developer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Can't imagine Swindon will worry about Anders scores. Pretty sure his initial target will be as simple as match or beat the opposition No7 score on a meeting by meeting basis. Up to the experienced rider's to do their job to win meetings. No pressure on the kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't want another Jack Smith scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish McRaker Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Places pressure on Perks to do the job of the "senior reserve" now. Is he up to it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Glad to see a young Brit not only given an opportunity but also willing. Shame others don't/haven't. Sure Perks will be fine as "senior" reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think Rowe will do ok. I just looked up a couple of meetings on Updates and he beat Craig Cook and Rory Schlein in the last couple of meetings for Somerset last year.

foreverblue Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 if as we all assume Adam Ellis is returning then it looks likely Swindon will a very weak tail with 3 reserve average riders and I would expect Ellis Perks to be in the main body after a few meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted December 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 On 11/28/2019 at 9:33 PM, DC2 said: All three of these appear to be PL 4 pointers: Wells 7.05 CL, Jordan Stewart 5.74 CL, Jonas Jeppesen has never achieved an average. You may take the view that the bottom two are young improvers that will be more successful than Lampart in making their mark in the 1 to 5, but I think Wells is the better bet. Having said that, I’d be happy if we got either of the youngsters as an asset. Lots of pressure on Ellis Perks to rise to the main reserve as was the case with Zach last year. Hope it works out better for Ellis than it did Zach. Also Anders has done better than Jack Smith in the lower league so hopefully that scenario doesn’t happen as that was painful for all concerned as he was so out of his depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have a minimum 7 point NL average to be eligible for the CL. And then a 4.5 CL average before coming into the PL. Otherwise they’re just rabbits in the headlights, making up the numbers and usually tailed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with a long tail, if Swindon were more solid with a stronger reserve then perhaps the pressure on Rowe would be less but he will need to chip in and pull his weight. Rather than those you have named one hopes it’s the making of him and he can thrive in his role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
