Grachan 7,362 Posted December 4, 2019 26 minutes ago, Sidney the robin said: Behind Wells really???? you have a strange way of building teams you also said on another thread King's Lynn could do a Ipswich this year? .And that Lambert,Riss,Cook, had more potential to improve there averages than Doyle,Batch,Jensen they could well improve there averages but at the end of the day what is the better three Swindon is by quite a way .Yes try to get riders who can improve there averages but as examples Wells, Proctor are two riders who have there averages for a reason they are on the slide Wells in a top 5 no way. I agree, Sidney. Wells might be a better CL rider at the moment, but he is what he is. He would have just been a filler rider whose average fitted, whereas Jordan is someone who looks like he will improve and could become a part of the club in the future. At the start of the year Wells may have actually been a better scorer, so I can see why people might choose him over Stewart, but he isn't someone I would have a particular interest in seeing ride for Swindon, whereas, from what I have read, this looks a more interesting signing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted December 4, 2019 57 minutes ago, DC2 said: Yes, behind Wells, a 7.05 point CL rider rather than a 5.74 one. You think Wells is on the slide but Glasgow, who have the pick of the CL, obviously have confidence in him returning to form. Yes, I think KL could do an Ipswich and reach the final with a solid side rather than a top heavy one and I think that Lambert, Riss and Cook are more likely to increase their averages by a point each than Doyle, Batch and Rasmus. You are going by averages rather than ability, my take on building a side is having a side that can get you 48/50 points everyweek if not then 42 pts and collect the bonus point.The nice thing about this side is you have,Adam? Ellis,Anders, Jordan who can all improve and can still play a part in our future as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly DC2 cannot see Wells average has dropped about 2 points over the last 2 seasons and how bad did he look at the Abbey last year? Even Wolves won't touch him with any kind of Pole ...as for Glasgow signing him they've also signed Ostergaard for God's sake 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted December 4, 2019 Really good signing he's one of a handful of Aussies that can really elevate himself a couple of levels see no reason he can't do a Rasmus and average more in the PL than he has in the CL , he's gonna do fine 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
