Team Building, and why 2 Big Hitters per team are required.


Recommended Posts

Sheffield  3   J Holder, C Holder &  T Woffinden    

Belle Vue  2.  B Kurtz & D Bewley

Leicester. 2.   M Fricke  &  S Masters.

Ipswich.  2.  J Doyle   &  E Sayfutinov.

 

 

Oxford.  2   R Tungate  &   M Jankowski.

all 4 teams finished in the top four, and to me it was obvious they would.  Oxford never really got going with Jankowski only coming good at the end when it was too late. Leaving Kings Lynn and Birmingham the bottom 2 clubs who decided half way through the season to bring in one big hitter which was not enough and far too late.

building a balanced side throughout goes to prove that doing so will lose you matches when you hit heat 13  & 15. coming up to the big hitters. 
 
If you have 1 decent second string and 1 decent reserve that’s all you need to back the big boys up.Heat advantages would be fruitful and win you matches.

What’s your thoughts ?

Having two big hitters in the Premier league requires a large part of your budget..which some teams may not be able to afford.

The hardest part is to set a suitable team limit that allows teams of reasonable equality.

Can’t afford then drop down a division. Not fair to the fans of those clubs

In 1964 there only seven teams in the National league ( top league )….. only 2 teams are still going now.

The following year the NL and the provincial league combined with 17 teams forming the British League… home and away once with a Ko cuo

A vital step made whereby the sport revived itself
