Wells, Jeppesen or Stewart, but every chance that Rosco will go for the budget option of Stefan Nielsen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Perks he has had some indifferent seasons but always a capable rider but really kicked on last season and good luck to him. Really? You think it was obvious that he was going to improve to the magnitude that he did? Best do the lottery on Saturday if so.

Best do the lottery on Saturday if so. Exactly. Nobody saw that coming. He has ridden several seasons in the 2nd tier without ever looking like a huge top flight moment was in the cards. Fluke signing but still a huge one in the scheme of things. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most people thought after the start he made for Glasgow that he would be a decent signing for Swindon who would improve a bit and bolster their bottom end. He went way, way beyond that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So that’s why all the other clubs were in for him then?. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact is that Rasmus Jensen averaged over 3 points what we signed him on. However you spin it that was a great signing & homework would have been done. Rosco even said he wanted to sign him previously but averages but paid to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
65Sarge 148 Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) So back to Swindon 2020 .............. No real idea why, but I have a sneaky feeling we may see THJ back as a Robin next year? Edited November 28, 2019 by 65Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We signed him after some changes in ours which allowed it to happen (and before his went up at Glasgow the following week) Edited November 28, 2019 by hyabb17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
