superguest 194 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Can't wait for Skormicki to prove you all wrong. He's gonna maintain his average IMO. Then it's down to Fred & Tai to get th business done in heat 13 & 15. The reserves are not crazy weak, in fact Masters should do well and Jacob Thorsell should really come on next year.

stevebrum 6,834 Posted February 17, 2013 BV Wolves Eastbourne That is how i think the bottom 3 will shape up. Biased or what. Coventry look bottom 3 as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted February 17, 2013 so let me get this right you think wells will get a elite average of 7 this coming season 2012 League Matches = 22 Rides = 106 Points = 167 BP = 20 GSA = 6.30 AVGE = (7.06) Yes he started at reserve, but as the season went on he got better and better and still averaged over six once he moved up from the reserves. After a few years of struggling in the Premier League, Ricky has virtually changed beyond recognition and I firmly think he will finish the season as our third heat leader aberaging between 6.50 - 7.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.N.T. 355 Posted February 17, 2013 Yes ...... just as Richard Lawson averages nearly nine points a match in the PL but way under four in the EL ...... Strangely Chris Kerr was like this bfore he went home. His EL average was 5.47 and just 5.73 in the PL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fourentee 989 Posted February 18, 2013 the cub have hardly ever bought in a loan signing for a heat leader or second string position since Steve Johnston I think. That would be a Wolf cub, then? Just for the record Billy Hamill was, of course, a heat leader loan signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be a good solid season IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,834 Posted February 18, 2013 Not biased just an opinion. Fine, in my opinion Coventry would replace Eastbourne in your bottom 3. Wake up Steve, that would make 4. Wide awake. As explained above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted February 18, 2013 and without the high scores from reserve, he'll average between 5 and 5.5 IMO. Would be a good solid season IMO. He averaged over six while riding at #4 last season though and is getting better each week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabbsjoe 149 Posted February 18, 2013 i think if Wells can maintain his average this year it will be a success. a lot of his average was gained from riding at reserve. it's Proctor that needs to improve his average this season after 2 years of maintaining otherwise he is the new Travis Mcgowan as mentioned earlier.

Fourentee 989 Posted February 18, 2013 it's Proctor that needs to improve his average this season after 2 years of maintaining otherwise he is the new Travis Mcgowan as mentioned earlier. Good point, well made. Or it would have been were this February 2012 when Proctor had indeed maintained his average of a smidgeon over five for two successive seasons. Last year it went up to over five and a half in one of the club's few success stories for the campaign. That may or may not be as far as he gets. He could certainly do with pushing on. But I don't understand this current criticism of Proctor for failing to improve thus far. Wolves' problems last year lay elsewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't understand this current criticism of Proctor for failing to improve thus far. Wolves' problems last year lay elsewhere. Spot on Fourentee. We've both mentioned this many times before, but it seems some are too blind to actually see what happened last season. We failed because we signed 2 4pters who didn't perform. Throw in a downturn from Fred and injury issues and there was no way anything would be achieved from the season. Once again, I am seeing lots of comments about riders needing to increase their averages. This is simply not as vital in a league with a 42.5 pts limit. Indeed, should the whole team merely maintain their averages they would almost certainly make the play-offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
