Baldyman Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) I think they have to make a decision between putting a league winning team together,, or a team that will keep the fans happy,,, will be hard to get both. Personally I would go for Emil and Lambert,, or Emil and Dudek,, or that type, get say wojdylo on a 5 and Ellis on a sub 6 and you can put a winning team together easily. Trouble is,,, we love a lovely lad Edited October 7, 2023 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 I hear the contracts are already agreed with Emil/Doyle, so fitting in riders around them. Harris showed how well he can ride the track in the play offs, wouldn't do any worse than King IMO. If you can get Wojdylo back over, would be a shrewd signing, again, no worse than Riss and should score more. Jenkins OR another 4.00 rider, Jordan has been our best rider this season IMO, deserves a shot! 1. Emil 10.10 2. Jenkins 4.21/4.00 3. Harris 6.53 4. Wojdylo/Zac Cook 5.00/5.10 5. Doyle 9.12 6. Rew 4.00 7. Thompson RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rew 4.00 7. Thompson RS This is my point. You’ve got a current reserve and a current Rising Star in the main body of the side. That side wouldn’t even make the play offs.

Arthur73 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 This is the best I could do with Doyle and Sayfutdinov and Rew at reserve: 1. Sayfutinov 10.10 2. Riss 4.84 3. Brennan 5.87 (6.02) 4. Wojdylo 5.00 5. Doyle 9.12 6. Rew 4.00 7. Dan Thompson RS Total: 38.97 Brennan has been very good at Foxhall in his last few outings so I think will cope at number 3 at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Just imagine how bad a team would be if we start Emil King Doyle,,, would more or less have to have 4 reserves, any team with Doyle and Emil will look disasterous,,, but I bet that's what most people will want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Witches will definately have to take a risk with team building to fit in Doyle and Emil, had a look at averages just now 1. Emil 10.10 2. Rew 4.00 3. Douglas 7.13, Masters 7.12, King 7.03 4. Wojdylo 5.00 5. Doyle 9.12 6. D. Thompson 3.60 7. Boughen RS For me i attend to watch good racing and this season watching Doyle and Emil has been great, the thought of watching the development of Thompson/Boughen alongside two esrablished stars would get me attending even if they don't win anything If Witches want a team to challenge for the title and to satisfy the heart, go with the idea that Emil isn't in the UK next season 1. Doyle 9.12 2. Wojdylo 5.00 3. Masters/Douglas 4. Ellis 5.56 5. Janowski 8.00 6. Rew 4.00 7. D. Thompson RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin bass Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hopefully the powers that be will increase the team building average by a point or 2 so Ipi can run with a couple of big hitters again, we can pretty much guarantee that King will be back again i'd of thought tho.

Just shows how strong a team can look all the way down when not retaining the top two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy cookie returns? Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Question would Riss be worth a gamble sub 5 at the moment historically a solid 6 point rider. Or gamble and go for two 5.00 new comers? Emil 10.10 Wojodydo 5.00 Pickering 6.78 Riss/newcomer Doyle 9.12 Rew 4.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP78 Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 The fact that they’ve persevered with Riss and watched his average tumble suggests that he may be back… like others though I’d take a newcomer on a 5.00 and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ok when Emil is on an 8.00 but over 10? At the start of the year the top two had a combined average of 18.32, they now sit on 19.22 between them, almost a point more. I can’t be the only one that feared a 5-1 or 4-2 in every heat on Thursday that didn’t involve Doyle or Emil? As much as it pains me to say it, but for me it has to be one or the other and then build with a bit more strength in the middle order and reserve. I’ll use Musielak just as an example as I’m sure he’ll be back at Sheffield, but you could go Doyle and Musielak up top for a combined average of 17.81 which would give you nearly a point and a half more than the current top two to fit in a stronger number 6. That kinda makes sense to me as hard as it would be to see Emil (or Doyle) ride for someone else! You could now possibly see Dudek come in to British Speedway. Not as good as Emil no, but on an 8.00 as apposed to 10.10 and as daft as it sounds, he’d arguably be the better signing. All about increasing your averages, Dudek would surely increase an 8.00, would Emil increase 10.10? Tobi is not back at Sheffield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I think they will just go with what brings in the best footfall,,, and if it happens to do okay,, then that's a bonus, I would imagine survival and money in the bank is more preferable to silverware.

blue witch Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Looking at some other threads and prospect of 42 for top 6 riders maybe this Emil 10.10 Z Cook 5.10 King 7.05 Harris 6.37 Doyle 9.12 Rew 4.00 RS - Dan T/ Boughen/ Thomas/ whoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Danny will be a dead cert after captaining the team to some silverware. Could see 6 of the same riders from this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
