Diamonds85 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I didn't realise Birmingham only had 4.22 to play with for their final rider... They look incredibly weak imo What a shame Morris on an inflated average 3 second strings Sedgmen isn't really a number 5? Still unsure about Pearson 4.22 for final rider isn't a lot I hope I'm proved wrong... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree, we look very weak....who's put this team together ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had 5.5 for last rider would definitely look far stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think lowering Team Ave to 40 has caused more of an issue? we've known for a while that Edinburgh were returning, so plenty of time to take a different path... I think we will be fair at home, which is an improvement on last season....(Vissing/Auty/Ellis were woeful signings) but that's history!

Yes but by that time I'd imagine all the top riders would already have deals in place elsewhere. Ruml, Nicol, kemp just off top of my head better than any of the possible options seen fit the 4.22. manzares was crap last time he was here would need massive improvement since he went away to be worthwhile imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) I'm lost... Why has James Wright's average gone back to his starting 2022 average and not the average he finished with Scunthorpe at the end of 2022, is it because he didn't do enough meetings with Scunthorpe this year for him to get a new average?? How can the average system be so overly complicated for what it is... 1 Nick Morris 10.13 2 Alfie Bowtell 4.28 3 James Wright 5.51 4 Stefan Nielsen 4.82 5 Justin Sedgmen 7.04 6 7 James Pearson 4.00 35.78 4.22 I have Birmingham down as this??

Well it's at least not a step down. I like Nick a lot but I don't see him maintaining a 10 point average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I see Nick as a solid 3rd heatleader in the PL, Josh could go on to be a very good number 5/possible number 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where are people getting the figure 4.94 from? That is his last Diamond's average - 2.5% but his Scunthorpe average (his final 2022 average) was 5.65 (-2.5%) = 5.51 Giving Birmingham 4.22 to play with for their final rider, not 4.79 as previously quoted on here??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is made up of his 6 Scunny appearances (30 rides 42 pts) this year plus his last 4 matches for Newcastle in 2021 (21 rides 30 points) 72/51*4 = 5.65 QED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Looks a poor team in my opinion. Fair play to the promoter for running for another season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
