CitizenTyler Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Honestly not sure about Kennett! The rest look good so far though. The names being thrown about for 2/4 don’t inspire confidence in a team that will do well away from home but excited all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromBendThree Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Kennett looks to me to be a huge risk, based on his results for Eastbourne this year. Testimonial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I disagree with the majority here regarding Kennett and here's why. He was rusty at the start of last season due to the 2020 season being cancelled like quite a few riders who didn't ride in Poland in 2020. He also wasn't being paid for riding in 2021 so I doubt he was that committed knowing full well what the Jordan's were up to. Eddie also rides Plymouth exceptionally well and home wins are key in this Sport. Not many teams will get anything at Plymouth next season if they get Barker in as well. 2 track specialists with the vastly improving duo of Lawson and MPT is a sneakily good top 4 that will go under the radar imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan per se but you can't deny he's box office at Plymouth. Don't rate Keleher and thought he was actually quite poor other than a couple of home meetings. Sooner see Ruml back or look at another younger Brit. I'm guessing Cook will end up at Poole with his brother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Just read on Leicester thread but only confirmed by an e-mail & not on the Leicester website that team building is to a 42 point limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Why would Plymouth sign Palm Toft? He is not a gater and if you miss the gate at Plymouth you are more or less stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracks like Lakeside, Rye House and Eastbourne often seemed to overkill the home small track specialists to the detriment of their away results.. One thing for sure with MPT is that you will get 100%, so any gap, however tiny, will have his bike aimed at it, which will be fun to watch on a tight circuit.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose with a home track advantage type team you keep the home fans happy seeing a winning team, especially back in the day with the bonus point , although a slightly different situation now, even so win all your home matches especially with an 8 + margin and playoffs virtually guaranteed , mind you I think MPT would be wanted at any track and team at the moment.

He hates it when Plymouth get any criticism but is one of the first to do it on other threads (mainly Poole and usually about the track!) Even though it's the best it's been for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Looks a useful start to team building, but it’s always harder to judge when you don’t have other teams to compare against. Lawson should be a genuine number 1 and MPT will provide decent back up home and away. Kennett may be on the way down, but last season there were extenuating circumstances and he comes on a low average. He’s used to riding at number 1, not number 3! Whilst Atkins & Bowtell are both young and on the rise. Neither are progressing at lightning speed but both are gradually getting better and that’s the main thing.
