I think this team are play off certainties. Pretty Easy..his Ave is that of a second string.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any club will get enough race winners away from home tbh because every team looks rock solid around their own track, Away wins should be at a premium. Ipswich and Sheff will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure once he throws his leg over his bike for the first time he'll be well set. Nobody will be board Bullseye!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJC Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (edited) 2 hours ago, Toady said: Well said that man, perhaps Chicken Little will give an assessment of the other sides for fairness More than happy too! Sheffield are top heavy with big hitters at home that don’t do enough away. Getting Holder back after the performance in the play off at Ipswich is crazy. Would have kept Tobi personally and built around him. Belle Vue kept a decent core and Bewley needs to get back to his best over here. Mountain leaves them with a poor reserve pairing. Ipswich have strengthened with Ellis for Riss, thomas is a good signing and they could go one better than last year now Rew has had a full season. Kings Lynn will be the dark horses for me. Bags of potential with some experience to boot. leicester are built very much like wolves last year but with a proper no1 in Fricke, will do reasonably well at home but take some hidings away brum…well, we’ll see how they finish Edit-Jenkins at Ipswich, not Thomas!

Diamonds85 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I appreciate this question has probably been asked somewhere in the last 24 pages but... What is Maciej's average next year? Presumably he's been given a reduction for whatever reason (or the team won't fit) but what is his average? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a spent force, will do well to get a higher average than C Holder. Harris at 42 can only be going one way as he showed at Peterborough towards the end of last year. Will have the odd great meeting but as always will take 2 months to get the set up right! Klindt, great trapper but coming off a broken neck and notoriously inconsistent before that. Tungate, who knows which one will turn up each week. Wright, horrific crash and injuries last year, will take him too long to get going. Kerr, one of the best reserves in the league with the Poles but will swap with Wright after the first set of averages. Boughen, only his second full season in the sport. Will cause a few upsets along the way but very much a development year for him. Of course everyone has their own opinion, but it seems to me you've listed the absolute worse case scenario possible with every rider & declared that's what will happen!

If they can all come good at the same time it isn't a bad side but it will take a few too long to get going. Not sure anything I said isn't true though. Maybe being harsh on Magic and Wright's ability to come back from that crash but more than happy to be proved wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright has come back from worse, he is an exciting rider and with that comes a lot of risk. Overall they will be do well I think. Definitely worth watching, Magic, Wright, Harris, Tungate plenty of exciting racing with that lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris & Wright both entertainer’s. The jury is open on Magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to hear the assessments made good and bad of the Oxford Spires. Can Magic recapture his form (When JD signed for Ippo there were a few of their fans who said he was finished would they say that now),how long will it take Bomber get dialled in (I don’t remember him struggling around sandy lane across the last 2 seasons) and so on . While they’re maybe a few doubts I know that we are in for an exciting season across all three leagues and I can’t wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
