Just to cause an argument, why is Broc's ave only 5.5 then?

I can answer that lol. Consistently inconsistent, probably needed stint at reserve but sedgemans form got worse at reserve so knackered that. He was also bonus point king as raced with cookie most of the season so that will have had an effect

Actually Sedgmen's average never changed much at all, so didn't really get worse. But he certainly didn't UP his average in the way Glasgow would've hoped / expected him to do once dropping to reserve!

I'm glad for Kinsley getting a team spot, as I am for all Brits, but do feel this is the most underwhelming opening signing I can remember ever!

After his scores last year, can't imagine the signing would be well appreciated!

Would've been better to make him the 7th signing, if there was 3.00 left & Kinsley signed, wouldn't felt a more shrewed move!

To be honest I would say that the signing from a genuine Scunthorpe fans point of view the singling is well appreciated because we have seen the potential in him from 2019 and how he progressed that year and watched him ride regularly in person in that season however I do agree with you could have released the heat leader first !!

I never said average lol. 7 points against Edinburgh beating Lawson and lawlor, 3/4 points away several times, then an almost maximum once knew was getting the bullet. Watching him every week he just seemed to go backwards every time I saw him, until said almost maximum

Just read the first few words of your post, thought Douglas had signed, then I read the rest, oh well we live in hope.

It depends who your reserves are & who your opposition have at reserve to determine whether it's better to have your strongest reserve at 6 or 7!

For example Newcastle Scunthorpe are better off putting Freeman Kinsley at 6 because he probably couldn't will not beat anybody & it gave Roynon Kennedy (or ???) easier rides to get more points.

But with Glasgow Sedgmen or Nowak should've been strong enough to beat opposition second strings, so makes sense to put them at 6 & have Bailey at 7 to beat opposition reserves!

You have answered my point with your point, hence my changes. lol B)

From this week's Speedway Star it seems Ryan Douglas is seeking a midweek Championship team to compliment his Premiership and Polish 2nd Div fixtures!!;):party:

How are you going to fit them all in or are you changing the rules for gains(cough, cough). That is King, S Worrall, Lawson & Douglas. Someone is hoping too much.:nono:

I've never mentioned those 4 in any comment. In fact I think possibly only 2 will feature!!
