TheScotsman 2,483 Posted October 12, 2014 Yes but having Justin and/or Stevie rattling up Mega points for a few months gave us a great buffer and helped the team as a whole build confidence. Remember that Max, Stevie & Justin have increased their averages by a huge amount and Sam has now upped his too and is challenging Cookie for the number 1 position. (Well on scores over the past couple of months anyway!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strife 153 Posted October 13, 2014 <snip> I would much prefer going for a strength in debt team next year. LOL to the excellent (predictive) spelling typo. An extra dynamic sort of rider (or two), and a more dynamic approach on track is required. Does anyone else agree that the Witches consistently seem to miss that ability to finish-off a tough match?

Super Blue 616 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) LOL to the excellent (predictive) spelling typo. An extra dynamic sort of rider (or two), and a more dynamic approach on track is required. Does anyone else agree that the Witches consistently seem to miss that ability to finish-off a tough match? The simple answer is yes, I think you'll find alot of Witches fans will agree. The thing is we have a good team but not a great team and will always fall just short of that elusive silverware unless we learn to ride certain tracks better than we do currently, we need more riders who are prepared to dice with the safety fence to get that little bit of extra speed. In a nutshell, Too many white line willy's ! Edited October 13, 2014 by Super Blue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted October 13, 2014 If we dont keep Worrall , Gino , Heeps and Hawkins we must be crazy. I also think Risager will stay due to the family connection. Tungates time is up and i reckon he will end up elite league next year. We need another big hitter up top. I would like to see Olly Allen though cant imagine it will happen and yes King is more likely. 2 newbies at reserve in my eyes. Who does Sarjeant ride for?

Siggytastic 180 Posted October 13, 2014 What average would Scott Nicholls be on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,483 Posted October 13, 2014 All seems a bit harsh to be talking about dropping riders on the eve of a Cup Final!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted October 13, 2014 I thought that. Hardly good motivation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you talking about Olly (fell,ex, withdrawn) Allen ??? If so then no thanks, the guy is made of glass or something even more fragile! Far too injury prone to take a risk with IMO. And to those that say talking about dropping riders this early, unfortunately thats the nature of threads like this and all about peoples opinions on who they would like to see in the starting lineup next year. It's the way of the world I'm afraid. Edit, on current average Scott Nicholls would be 11.76 in the PL by my calculation. A bit too high to take on board at this stage me thinks.

TheScotsman 2,483 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Not the way of everyone's world. Some people have a better sense of timing. I don't see equivalent threads about Somerset or Monarchs, even though everyone knows they will have to be changed heavily for next season. But they still have trophies to contest this season.

Gavan 5,050 Posted October 13, 2014 Not the way of everyone's world. Some people have a better sense of timing. Why? Do you think riders will read this forum and then not bother because people are saying they might not be here next year? If they take on board what the fans on here think then they are a tad weak skinned. Different story if one of the management start making noises but fans on here shouldnt affect any rider in the cup final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

proud panther 1,505 Posted October 13, 2014 Would love Adam Ellis at Panthers next year if we run. Looked very impressive at the Showground, & will only get better in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted October 13, 2014 Who cares who we get next year.........(let this year finish first). Can't see it will be EL PL and NL as this year so?? Anyhow it will be the ones that 1. Fit into the budget 2. Fit into the team average. 3. Want to ride for the Witches. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 13, 2014 If riders don't have motivation to do their best in a final of a competition and wouldn't feel loved because of what I am saying on here, then they need to find themselves a new job, and it would also explain why some riders don't have the mental ability to make it to the top of their chosen profession.
