ArthurRudge 347 Posted December 7, 2018 I remember everyone saying Alpen was a bad signing and look what happened, nah i reckon Lampart will go ok. Didn't Spanner sign for Poole twice and got sacked twice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it's not! With Doyle fronting this side no slacking will be allowed Troy will thrive this season and a plus 8 is easily achievable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does make you wonder why we haven't yet officially announced Zach being in Australia shouldn't be an excuse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 7, 2018 8 hours ago, foreverblue said: A very poor signing in my opinion, he wasn't too bad last time but has gone downhill since, probably won't get sacked though as Swindon like keeping the same team all year even if it means them finishing bottom! What like 2017 when we won the league after a change?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 7, 2018 How is it that Dawid hasn’t had a reduction in his average when Spanner got one at Poole last season?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most other teams would be if they’d named the top 4 we have. If Poole had named Doyle, Batch, Ellis, Musielak I’m sure we’d be told that there was no point in turning up as the league was already won.

Finished 2012 on 4.93 but rode for Coventry for 6 meetings in 2013 which brought his average down to what Poole got him on last year. There was a lot of confusion when Poole signed him as the last end of season figures he appears in was 2012 even though he rode a little bit of 2013 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
