andys Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 So 3 of last years team are back and are probably the only three I'd have brought back, now to add the firepower at 1 and 5 hopefully to strengthen us in heats 13 and 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) So I know one of them is James Wright. Who are the other two? Edited November 2, 2021 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I think we need top end points scoring now presuming Wright clegg and wethers are nailed on for 2 3 and 4 not sure of averages but doubt any will fit at 6 in the team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Well if Kent are done (hope not but…) I’d love Scott Nicholls to have a season at Brough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloom89 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Would like to see Richie Worrall back since he left us he's just seemed to move around clubs every season. I think he's on a good average he can improve on and he's a good gater which helps at brough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloom89 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Now that we know Kent aren't running next season I'd be straight on the phone to Batchelor scored very well in the Championship and he doesn't ride abroad so no problems for availability on Sundays.

Oh, and Archie back too. Connor hopefully won't be back now, or else him or Matty will have to be the number 5 again... Archie I would like to see back at number 7, along side a solid number 6, Ashley Morris on a 4.80 average could be a bargain number 6 if the 2x RS rule gets scrapped and he can regain his form he had when he rode for the Diamonds a few years ago... Also wouldn't mind seeing James Sarjeant (4.27) or Stefan Nielsen (4.79) fill that number 6 role, But I can see both of them remaining at their currently CL clubs... I'm sure all 3 riders would be due a 2.5% reduction also as all 3 rode in the NL? So basically 6. Ashley Morris 7. Archie Freeman I suppose if the RS scheme is scrapped, then we could fit Connor at reserve, but we'd then lose a bit of the top end strength at 1 and 5... And I can see Connor at Leicester or Scunthorpe unfortunately 15 hours ago, Chewbacca said: Well if Kent are done (hope not but…) I’d love Scott Nicholls to have a season at Brough. Is Scott Nicholls going to give up his TV duties most weekends just to ride for the Diamonds? I'd love to see him too, he's one of my all time favourites, but I don't see it.

As far as I know with Troy, he was about to sign for us but then Kent came in at the last second and offered him a better deal. Personally I wouldn't want Troy at Newcastle... Think he could do even worse than last season if he signs for a track as difficult as Brough... He hasn't got the balls imo Based on absolutely zero insider information, so it could be miles off, I hope to see something like: 1. 2. Max Clegg 5.40 3. James Wright 5.20 4. Matthew Wethers 6.47 5. Richie Worrall 7.96 6. Ashley Morris 4.80 7. Archie Freeman 2* (2.00) Based on the current averages on the last issue on SpeedwayGB, so could be a few inaccuracies and there is no 2.5% reductions taken into account. We don't know what the average limit is yet, but I would approximate that we have somewhere in the figure of 8.00-8.50 for out number 1 with the squad above... I would like to see Matty at number 4 to keep Heat 14 strong and I think James is more than capable of being the number 3 in a stronger lineup than last year, Max at 2 is very strong and hopefully Ashley at 6 is very strong too. I would like to see some improvement from Archie next season too, should be very little pressure on him in that team... On another note, see Rene Bach has signed for Lokomotiv Daugavpils in Poland, so there's even less chance of him signing for Newcastle now One day we'll see Rene Bach at Newcastle But he's 31 now...

Kerr's on a bit of an inflated average too, he won't add much to it (I may regret this comment come the end of next year) But yes, he's a very good rider and always gives his all don't get me wrong Edited November 4, 2021 by Diamonds85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
