Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted March 7, 2019 Hope im wrong as i want to see the young Brits improve but Shanes & Waj at Swindon are starting a bit behind many of the other reserves so will have to really step up if Swindon are to mount a serious challenge (but if they do the Robins look a force) likewise the reserves at Wolves. At the other end barring Lambert & Kerr Kings Lynn basically have a team full of 7th rated riders as i would put Kasper Andersen bottom of the pile too.

Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted March 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Col said: Kings Lynn, Ipswich and one other to miss out on the playoffs. If no changes were allowed during the season I’d agree with you, but I’d be hugely surprised if both Lynn and Ipswich finish the season with the team they started with. Both clubs will most likely have more scope than others for positive changes once new averages kick in. Then its a case of catch up and 4th place will do, then once there it’s game on. Seen it happen so many times before in both leagues. Lynn for example, could bring in Iversen mid season for a reserve and then its a whole new ball game. A few big away wins and you’re back in the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually think our reserves can surprise, i have always been a fan of Zach and i expect him to put at least a point on his average.Shanes i believe will be a huge favourite with the fans and looking at the other reserves he will hold his own.

Quite surprised you think the Wolves reserves are weak. Imo it's our strongest reserve pairing for a fair few years 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imo it's our strongest reserve pairing for a fair few years In all fairness it probably is. I also highly rate Ash Morris and Becker could turn out to be a real trump card but when compared to partnerships of Bjerre/Barker, Covatti/NBJ Allen/Heeps etc the Wolves pairing doesn't look so potent. I still think there is improvement in both riders but it will be hard for them both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I can't make predictions based on team changes that may or may not occur, can I. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjsj9803 323 Posted March 24, 2019 Well the bookies predict Poole as red hot favourites at 9-4. They have Ipswich as wooden spoon candidates at 20-1 I think this is the 11th year they have had Poole favs at season starts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swindon and Wolves seem good value to me. Poole 2/1 or (3.00) decimal BV 5/2 or ( 3.50) Wolves 5/1 (6.00) P/Boro 13/2 (7.50) Swindon 13/2 (7.50) Lynn 14/1 (15.00) Ippo 20/1 (21.00) Edited March 24, 2019 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Wolves/ Swindon reserves could surprise this year Becker will have a prolonged run at reserve and if he can get dialled in at home he could do ok .Morris is very handy at reserve his strength is his gating and to be honest he was not disgraced in the top 5 last year.Swindon fingers crossed Zach who i rate and i think he is capable of adding a point on his average this year.James he will be great to watch and i believe he can hold his own.
