Quite a lot of them. Just research back over the years (I can't be bothered to name them now and will doubtless be criticised in some quarters for this?) but many lads deemed to have great potential fade away. Okay I will give one example from the Conference League days at Wimbledon - Danny Betson. Now I'll duck as I get shot down - AGAIN! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,793 Posted July 21, 2013 got to agree, you watch some of the nl riders and think give him a few years. a few years pass and you realise there not as good as you thought they were going to be. the gulf between nl and pl is massive. look at Charles wright at buxton. looks a very good rider at nl but struggled when moved up. not picking on Charles I remember seeing him at buxton when he was about 15 and thought he may be a good un,not sure when that was but I reckon about 5 years ago at least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greyhoundp 990 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Im not sure what meetings you get your figures from, but at the moment they may be a little mis leading bcuz, Dudley have only ridden in 4 NL home meetings so far, so naturally there averages will be expected to drop as away meetings are ridden. The top 2 riders i have seen at Dudley this season are Steve Boxhall and Charles Wright. Edited July 31, 2013 by greyhoundp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneandtwohalfs 35 Posted July 31, 2013 Wonder if any of above will end up a Mark Loram or all just potential that fades into mediocrity.? I can only see one of them progressing into the big time, injuries permitting. That's Robert Lambert. He looks a super prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greyhoundp 990 Posted August 13, 2013 I think in this instance, you mean Adam Ellis riding for IOW, and not Ipswich, though Im sure Adam would love to be in the Top Ten Pl riders . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
