They can always update if there happened to be injuries.

 

Believe it or not but not everyone uses social media.

Not everyone uses the internet so should they stop bothering to post it anywhere!

Got to fancy a home win, so many track specialists in the Scorpions team. I'll be happy if we keep it reasonably tight and give ourselves a chance of the aggregate bonus point. UTC !

Me and the Mrs will be driving over from Sheffield for this. Should be a good meeting looking forward to seeing how Howarth performs as a no1 and a few riders in the Worky team which are abit unknown, think Craig Cook can really make a good year of it and rebuild his career, got it in him to be best rider in championship.

This should be an easy home win. If Howarth wants to fill the big shoes of Douglas then he needs to be looking at scoring a near maximum.  

Team performance wins matches and silverware not individual hero’s

Wouldn't say Howarth was signed to "fill Dougie's shoes". Kyle has a sub 8.00 average so is never gonna score what Douglas did, but his lower average allows them perhaps the best second string pair in the league, that could be what wins them meetings.

In years gone by Scunny struggled without an out and out number 1 until Douglas dramatically upped his game. Howarth is familiar with wearing number 1 on his back but after a sub par season at Plymouth, comes on a relatively low average to allow a stronger middle order. I’m not necessarily saying he will replace Douglas’ scoring but at home at a track he knows well I think he will score as a genuine number 1 and add a point to his average.

He's been a "number one" when at Leicester. So in a weaker league, certainly has the potential to put a point on his average.
