Championship Teams Comparison Time

[balderdash&piffle 720]

With only Peterborough and Edinburgh to complete their teams, perhaps now is the time to start comparing teams.

 

At the moment for me P/boro, Ippo, Redcar and Newcastle stand out. My own team Berwick will be a real dark horse, has potential to do really well, but, it all depends on say which Bridger do we get same goes for Vissing, the rider to look oot for in Berwicks team is Dimitri Berge

Sheffield and Glasgow stand out. Edinburgh have far more home advantage than anyone else so will be up there whoever else they sign. Ipswich dark horses.

[RedcarRacer 228]

I think it all looks very competitive, helped by the fact Plymouth have dropped out and the Redcar have stepped up - the two usual dunces of the class are not around.

 

For me the stand out looks like Ipswich, but I think there are some strong top 5s. It may come down to who has a reserve who steps up from nowhere - everyone will be strong at home from what I can see.

Easy way to do this is rate every rider 1 to 10 for each position and team with the lowest number has the best chance of winning. This is just my attempt and not a bad way of doing this. So best number 1 is Cook and he gets rating of 1 for example.

 

This would suggest Sheffield, Ipswich and Glasgow as a top three. Have to wait to see what Edinburgh do. This is just a guess at what would happen and how I rate riders. Please everyone else have a go.

Sorry Penchev, re post in this one

To me Sheffield stand out.

Time will tell.

[balderdash&piffle 720]

 

To me Sheffield stand out.

Time will tell.

Going to be an interesting season, I do tend to prefer teams in depth, so would be biased towards a strong reliable top 5 riders, being able to carry 2 potentials at No6 & No7. However if a team as very good top 3 and the best 2 reserves, then all you need in the 2nd strings is being reliable and steady

[Ben91 1,743]

It's between Glasgow and Sheffield for me with Ipswich just behind.

[Gavan 5,049]

So you rate the British Champion as the third best number 1 in the league??

 

Anyway this year only 2 teams stand out which is us (Ipswich) and Sheffield with Glasgow and Newcastle just behind.

 

Dont think the league looks competitive as those 4 look far ahead of the others.

 

My table would be:

 

1. Ipswich

2. Sheffield

3. Newcastle

4. Glasgow

5. Redcar

6. Edinburgh

7. Peterborough

8. Workington

9. Berwick

10. Scunthorpe

[Islander15 1,062]

Sheffield look the best team with Glasgow & Ipswich also making the play-offs. But the fourth team doesn't look clear cut, and it could be a dark horse from Redcar, Berwick or Workington.

[Mad Max 216]

_{Omitting Edinburgh and assuming Peterborough line up as people are saying my view is}

 

_{1. Glasgow}

_{2. Ipswich}

_{3. Sheffield}

_{4. Redcar}

_{5. Peterborough}

_{6. Newcastle}

_{7. Berwick}

_{8. Scunthorpe}

_{9. Workington}

 

_{Edinburgh likely to be around 4/5/6}

Majority of people will have that same top 3.

 

I agree that Workington look shocking. When they come to Ipswich they will struggle to get 35 i reckon. Last year Roynon , Campton and Williamson managed 4 points between them and only beat their team mates and were miles behind. Jorgensen looked ok and Cook will score loads but is the weakest Workington team ive seen i think which is a shame as good bunch of fans
