Swindon Robins 2020


Recommended Posts

Stewarts CL average with Redcar converts to 3.59, so he should be in the main body as Perks average attained with Swindon is 3.57.  The Swindon tail, as usual with Alun Rossiter teams has potential to do allot of wagging.

That maybe the case at the start of the season but it usually doesn't end that way!! Can't see that team finishing the season but we are going to be hard to beat at home and we have managed to keep 5 of the title winning team so happy days. Plus we get to see a local lad develop so all in all I'm happy and will look forward to buying a season ticket for the first in 10 years.

I have not visited the forum for a while, does anyone know what has happened to this Direct Debit Season Ticket idea?

Announcement is imminent but from what I understand this will be an option. I think details are available at the Southbrook on Saturday when the club have a ''pop up'' shop.

Hopefully enough people have registered an interest for it to be a viable option. If you go every week and buy a programme it saves over £60 and that could become over £100 if we make the cup final and play off final again. Also gives the club income all year round so another good idea by the promotion.

Jordan would have been my third choice just behind Wells and Jeppesen but ahead of Stefan and Sedgmen.

Good signing.

I would have thought Stefan would be better especially as he is an asset of Swindon but time will tell. Does he have to come in on a 4 average?

Behind Wells really???? you have a strange way of building teams you also said on another thread King's Lynn could do a Ipswich this year? .And that Lambert,Riss,Cook, had more potential to improve there averages than Doyle,Batch,Jensen they could well improve there averages but at the end of the day what is the better three Swindon is by quite a way .Yes try to get riders who can improve there averages but as examples Wells, Proctor are two riders who have there averages for a reason they are on the slide Wells in a top 5 no way.

Good signing and with the other Aussies in the team, can see him improving. 

What is fun is that the resident Dick Head continues to make a fool of himself with all of its team predictions. 

Not  sure you understand.he makes  these predictions so  the likes  of you react to them.  There not meant to be correct .

Yes, behind Wells, a 7.05 point CL rider rather than a 5.74 one.  You think Wells is on the slide but Glasgow, who have the pick of the CL, obviously have confidence in him returning to form.

Yes, I think KL could do an Ipswich and reach the final with a solid side rather than a top heavy one and I think that Lambert, Riss and Cook are more likely to increase their averages by a point each than Doyle, Batch and Rasmus.

And you worked that out all by yourself did you?  It is good that we have someone of your intellectual level to inform us of this.

I agree, Sidney. Wells might be a better CL rider at the moment, but he is what he is. He would have just been a filler rider whose average fitted, whereas Jordan is someone who looks like he will improve and could become a part of the club in the future.

At the start of the year Wells may have actually been a better scorer, so I can see why people might choose him over Stewart, but he isn't someone I would have a particular interest in seeing ride for Swindon, whereas, from what I have read, this looks a more interesting signing.

You are going by averages rather than ability, my take on building a side is having a side that can get you 48/50 points everyweek if not then 42 pts  and collect the bonus point.The nice thing about this side is you have,Adam?    Ellis,Anders, Jordan who can all improve and can still play a part in our future as well.

Clearly DC2 cannot see Wells average has dropped about 2 points over the last 2 seasons and how bad did he look at the Abbey last year? Even Wolves won't touch him with any kind of Pole ...as for Glasgow signing him they've also signed Ostergaard for God's sake :rofl:
