magnificentseven 236 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Hopefully he can display the same form as last time he rode for Wolves - certainly a far better signing than some that had been suggested. Edited August 22, 2013 by Wolfie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted August 22, 2013 Not a bad signing! Certainly a better rider than Ricky Wells Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Are you Gavan in disguise? Who/what/where/why is this 'Gavan' that's popped up in a couple of threads???? Not too many posts recently so maybe he's 'had enough' already?? Edited August 22, 2013 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourentee 987 Posted August 22, 2013 Miskowiak's return is barrel-scraping - not just for Wolves, but the EL and British speedway as a whole. Really? On what grounds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INCOGNITO 357 Posted August 22, 2013 Miskowiak can be a match winner or a complete flop and thats in each race not meeting. Certainly a cheaper option than Michelsen, Nermark or Ljung who have been mentioned and time will tell if it works out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Revealing little quote from the Dark Lord in the local paper tonight,.....'Along with every other Elite League club we enquired about Patrick Dudek (Polish World Cup winner) and at one stage were in negotiations with Mikkel Michelsen who joined Eastbourne recently but never at a financial level.....' The bit he missed out was 'I know we have been top of the league for most of the season and have a half decent chance in the play offs but if you lot think I'm going to maximise our chances by spending a penny piece more than necessary you've got another thing coming. Now keep on rolling up every Monday and giving me your luverrly lolly there's good fellows'. Outbid by Eastbourne, oh dearie me. (No disrespect to the Beagles by the way).

Beowulf 1,513 Posted August 22, 2013 I'm not exactly over the moon by the signing. On the other hand the last time he rode for us it was as a heatleader, and now it will be as second string, so less pressure on him in that sense. As mentioned before I would certainly consider putting Wells at number two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted August 22, 2013 Why were they in talks with Dudek? His assessed average is around 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted August 22, 2013 It's another example of the lies and corrupt manipulation from Poole this season. Yawn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Think the only talk with Dudek may have been when Freddie was out injured and they didn't know how long he was going to be out for as he wouldn't fit in the team to replace Proctor but he has shown no interest in riding over here at all. Michelsen was the one rider I would have loved to have seen and if not then the likes of Vaclav Milik. However as Mikkel Bech opted to sign in the Premier League and rule himelf out, then MM signed for Eastbourne, Wolves had to go for a moe experienced rider to come in at a late stage. Peter Ljung looked a good option but his form has dropped off and has now turned down Lakeside while Daniel Nermark has returned from injury to score well in big meetings but has again ruled out riding over here despite having good connections locally. At one stage I was getting worried that Klindt, Aspgren or even Stichauer were in the short list but Miskowiak could be a better option. I agree that he would be better at #3 with Ricky at #2 and hope the Polish partnership can help us on tracks like Swindon, Birmingham and mos likely Poole.

superguest 194 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Welcome back Robert, he gave us some strength away from home last year & will hopefully take the pressure off Wells and allow him to race at no2. Sqora and Misko - could it work? Edited August 22, 2013 by superguest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,701 Posted August 22, 2013 Risky signing, could go either way. Hope he has a fruitful return to the Elite this time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,824 Posted August 23, 2013 Totally uninspiring signing! Having said that he could be just what is needed to strengthen the Wolves going into the play-offs or he can be a total flop!! Will have to wait and see.... Risky signing, could go either way. Hope he has a fruitful return to the Elite this time... Pretty much sums up those of us that aren't inspired by the signing. Jury out on the success this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowfax 30 Posted August 23, 2013 Totally uninspiring signing - At least a signing has been made so can go into the remaining matches with a 1-7, we know what Bob can do, he knows the tracks and is scoring well and he can gate. Replacing Ty was always going to be difficult with the form he was in compared to the average he was on now Klindt that would have been a totally uninspiring signing. Risky signing - How going with R/R was risky if we lost another rider during the meeting we would have been up messy creek Now at least we have options , changing the riding order , Whilst Jacobs in good form we can use him as a replacement for out of sorts riders instead of saving him for R/R rides. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
