He has had a great year, but I don't see him having a better one next year in the main team, so to me that's a wasted average, Covatti would prob up his and its way lower. Allen I would defo have back, he has plenty of improvement left in him League programme is finished so play offs don’t count towards averages. Fallen to 6.30 from 6.57 since last averages changed. Id assume 6.30 is his starting average then. Edited October 4, 2019 by stevebrum Added detail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted October 5, 2019 This thread shouldn't be happening until after the play offs, not right! Just support your play off final team, there's the whole close season for saying who you'd keep and wouldn't keep!!!! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For that reason alone he’d be in my team. King is also worth including because of his value at home. He’s reached his level of course and more than likely won’t increase his average, but it more than likely won’t drop either. It’s vitally important you are strong at home if you have ambitions of the play offs so those two make sense to retain. Other than those two I’m not going to name names as that’s unfair going in to a play off final, but looking at the current team I’d personally try and retain nearly all of them except one, possibly two of the current septet. You are right actually, the entertainment part hadn't crossed my mind. Without Heeps we would have hardly seen anything entertaining at all at Foxhall. A good reason for me to say, excellent point Arch, and an excellent reason for keeping him for next season. You have changed my mind. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So with that in mind certainly for a team around Ipswich it would make sense to have Heeps Allen and covatti all will clean up at reserve and hold their own in the team and ensure good a good reserve all season. Perhaps a revision to my initial suggestion swapping nuts for sarjeant would then fit? looking at it differently however i think the key is finding that rider or riders that have a breakout season and really improve like Swindon have with Rasmus and we have had with Heeps and Allen, and maybe to a lesser extent for wolves Douglas Potential breakout candidates for next season in my opinion (in no particular order) luke becker Krystian pieszczek ryan douglas josh pickering broc nicol ellis perks Jordan Stewart all of these boys potentially have at least a 2pt increase in them next season with the correct attitude and equipment Other new riders I’d think should be considered would be Charles Wright and Eric Riss, Charles appears to be on the up and Riss goes great guns at Foxhall, Musielak, batchelor and Ellis also good at Foxhall and Swindon can’t keep all their top 5! jonas jeppesen the young Dane has had a very decent season on the continent this year and looks a real racer could be a potential trump card at reserve - if we managed to keep niels for a full season next year too then that would be helpful for him learning English tracks to come over and learn from a top Dane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 6, 2019 I'm not having a dig at the club or the trackman when I say this, but Foxhall is a track that it can be hard to pass on consistently, so we don't want too many poor gaters. I think that's why we did good away, the riders could pass. Just look how klindt and josh kept Poole in it at Foxhall, cos they gate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,049 Posted October 9, 2019 Would love us to keep Niels next season Start off with Iversen Heeps King Allen I think Riss would be a good shout as he does love our track but i cant see him leaving Lynn Jordan Stewart or Broc Nicol would be worth a gamble as well We could end up with Lawson again which wouldnt be awful but i think Harris will go Wouldnt mind seeing Nicholls back (apart from away trips to the bigger tracks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason he came back was because Torun were relegated (so season over)and he was not involved in SWE play off final so had time on his hands and lives mainly UK. Now he has qualified for SGP 2020 I can't see him killing himself to do 4 leagues again plus the SGP. I reckon he is not comfortable with the smaller sched of POL/SWE/DK/SGP plus his normal DL Championship & SGP qualifiers to get into the SGP as he knows he will struggle to make the top 8. Would like to see him back in UK but can only see it late in season at best. As for Jordan Stewart - Hey mate he was my idea as an under the radar promising possibility for Poole. Having said that with the latest from Ford on the parlous situation the clubs future maybe you should snap him up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
