Crazy robin 2,963 Posted October 11, 2019 14 hours ago, Sidney the robin said: 2020 should be a interesting year for the Robins and after seeing what happens in November team building can start properly.Doyley, Ellis, Ellis P are three that i think will be certainties after that who knows.Does Alun go top heavy again or does he change the shape of the side and go for an in/ out senior reserve.I like the top heavy scenario with hopefully a reserve who can have scope to improve if a good top five can be assembled and fit both Perks/ Vissing in happy days.One thing i will say is there wont be a shortage of riders wanting to come to the club mainly because of the promotion( Alun very loyal to riders) and the ever improving Abbey racetrack. Think Perks will be on Pooles radar if they have any sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This team is a logical Swindon side for next year though, particularly if Toby decides nor to ride UK and the "One over 8" rule is still in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that Nick is still struggling with recovery from his wrist injury. It could be that a winter in Oz will sort his problem out. I hope so, because he would be a good shout on his average. Also, judging on Howarth's performance on Thursday, it might be worth Rosco contacting him for next season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of pressure on Jensen though being one of the top 2. They need to try and have him as third HL if they can imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be surprised if Jensen starts anywhere in the PL with that figure round his neck Edited October 12, 2019 by dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have seen him a number of times over the last few years and he has impressed at Foxhall a couple of times even before this year 2019 was certainly a breakthrough season for him but it would take some effort to maintain that let alone improve further It is one of the problems needing to have a points limit that riders making such a rapid improvement become a big risk the following year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
