I mean Gino Manzares however I realise maybe difficult given he’s in USA heard he was coming over however. But mainly in my opinion Ryan Kinsley really does deserve the ride he was thrown in the deep end at Kings Lynn and he did Improve massively the season he had with us and I think he has potential to score decent. There is also potential for anyone to come in on an assessed average of 4 I’m sure some people will throw some names In the hat on here that will exceed the initial 4 point assessment Edited July 4, 2021 by Ryan555 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand where promoters come from with using the 4.00 foreigners because there’s every chance that they could come here and average 6 points straight away which is just a promoters dream 2 free points !

Pinny 2,536 Posted July 5, 2021 Ellis is certainly an improvement on Auty but he wont be a big hitting number one like Masters, Cook or even Pedersen as he is too inconsistent . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At home once Adam is dialled in its about even and away Ellis is miles ahead of Auty!!! Auty hasnt even been good at Scunny this year Your obsession has been to always knock Auty, i will be very surprised over a period that he will ever be as good as Auty at the EWR.Away from home he is a great signing and he will score loads of points.

It hasn't at all I'm just realistic about what Auty is, Auty hasn't been good at Scunthorpe this year and over the last two years you could argue he's never been a true number 1 there!! Ellis will be that and will score loads more away its an absolute no brainer to bring him in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted July 5, 2021 14 hours ago, Fozzie4388 said: I think a lot of the Crictism is unfair it was only 2 weeks ago. Josh got 9 from 4 rides against Glasgow (arguably the best team in the league). The kid had a big off last Sunday, His confidence will have taken a battering. One rider who does seem to escape any Crictism is Simon Lambert the guys been riding since the mid 2000s now and when did he eve score high points regularly away from home (apart from 2 or 3 meetings in 2019 when at reserve). It's all well and good going on about winning home meetings but to be successful you have to win away too. Simon is the captain and should be leading by example. As for anyone saying Josh Auty is better then Adam Ellis give your head a wobble. No one is saying that Fozzie i certainly am not , but my gripe was that loyalty should work both both ways and unless Auty agreed for me it is a tad harsh.Also i have seen alot of Adam at Swindon and know just how good he is a bit of a slow burner who is improving rapidly.Back to Auty another way of looking at is the promotion has got it wrong in recent years team building wise and avid Scunny supporters have been saying for ages that Auty is only a second or third heat leader.Not an in/ out no 1 who also disliked coming out in heat one totally understand why Adam had to be signed though.

Tosh1218 592 Posted July 5, 2021 I think why people are questioning McDonald is after this Saturday he will be given a new average as it will be four home and away fixtures so his new average will kick in within 7 days I think . So why try and strengthen the top end with Ellis coming in and let the bottom end just carry on . Speedway can be ruthless and if a change will freshen things up I’m all for it as the home form is good and Palin has been taking an extra reserve ride 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
