mdmc82 2,878 Posted November 10, 2016 I wonder if Swindon will waste points again on Nick Morris 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) In a watered down league Morris will be in IMO, he still miles betters than most. People forget he rode all season as a heat leader, no easy rides like some have had. The rumours can all end now BREAKING | After recent speculation we can confirm @Jasondoyle43 WILL be leading us into the 2017 season on a 13.41 average.

mikebv 10,273 Posted November 10, 2016 It's all relative. The points limit is 50, so it's not a realistic figure anyway. If you take a team average to be around 42 - 42/50 = 0.84. So, to use a well used TV phrase, Doyles average in "real terms" is 11.26. Correct... And given the standard of likely opposition you would expect him to score 12 to 13 a night at least off his usual five rides... 12 points is over 25% of the way to victory off one rider so well worth a team place with the total average now being 50...

Plus, of course, there's the possibility of tactical rides, particularly away from home, which could be worth a further 3 points on his score that don't count towards his average. Great to see he's still included in the side after the AGM revelations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted November 10, 2016 Glad we have not missed a trick like Poole have concerning Holder great to have Doyley back great news. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad we have not missed a trick like Poole have concerning Holder great to have Doyley back great news. Let's see who wins the league. I have ultimate respect for Swindon, but on this occasion wrong decision. I wanted Chris so bad, but it just means a weak 6,7 in your team. Newman has beaten Woffy, sure he can take Doyle on. Hhahahah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted November 10, 2016 I wanted Holder back however their was no point in signing Chris because we would end up with a weak tail end of the team. With all due respect Swindon wont stand a chance of making the Play-Offs because their team will be Un-balanced with a poor engine room imo. How I hope we end up above Poole at the end of the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted November 10, 2016 No chance. Maybe above Rye House and Leicester but that's about it imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted November 10, 2016 We will see where Swindon will be come October but tracking Doyle is going to very much damage the rest of the team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swindon may or may not win the league but at least we'll get the chance to see possibly the best rider in the World in the team. Not to be sniffed at. For me I want Swindon to have a good team, but I also want to have riders that mean something to me as a supporter of the side rather than just a mathamatical equation. For me I am so glad that Jason is in the side. I may still go from time to time now. If he'd been dropped I probably wouldn't have bothered. Seems to be an influx of Poole supporters here commenting on Jason being in the Swindon team. I think it is some kind of "denial" because they are grieving the loss of their quality number one. Swindon will do just fine. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
