mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 11, 2015 Looking at some of the other line ups, I can't see us being top 4 as weak in the 2nd string position but hopefully we will have an entertaining year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think our reserves will get us in the top 4, just. Unless of course Jamrog is better than a 5.5 average which would be a boost. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to agree, think it will be a struggle to make the top four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 3 Posted March 11, 2015 Regarding bigcatdiarys posts, don't forget that TWICE Mick Horton has left Peterborough in a precarious position. Mildenhall had to drop back to the NL after his involvement too and it took them years to get over his involvement. I think Mick means well and try hard but bites off more thna he can chew - we've seen it many times in his spell at Coventry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Mick means well and try hard but bites off more thna he can chew - we've seen it many times in his spell at Coventry. Thing is he keeps going, trying to make things work. His critics have usually done nothing. I find it odd that he is loathed at Peterborough, and initially also at Coventry. Since then he seems to have won a lot over at Coventry with what he has done, and the team he has built, but the usual critics keep following him around. There are a lot of plusses with him, but like everyone else he has his faults. I suppose his critics have them as well, but not on here of course.

We don't need to hear it after every bit of news that comes out like rider signings. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh come on Woz01, at least it gives us something to discuss otherwise the Poole thread would dominate the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fliss44 346 Posted March 11, 2015 I have no strong opinion about Horton but I am pleased that Coventry is still running. If he hadn't stepped in would we still be competing in the league? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true I suppose. 👍 I have no strong opinion about Horton but I am pleased that Coventry is still running. If he hadn't stepped in would we still be competing in the league? Probably to be fair, there was more than one interested party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bees_Man 454 Posted March 11, 2015 We look a fair bit short when you see Pooles line up. Their Pole comes in under 4, yet ours is 5.5 when we could have had nearly 7. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he deserves a chance at this level, he will have to average 5.5-6 to stay in the side which quite frankly he should do with the easier heats. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is, he needs to average 6.5 to be an acceptable signing. Bridger and Woodward would have done that. I wonder if he's only declared as a temp signing for Woodward who'll come in once he's fit if it's going wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won't have a problem getting a visa so it's entirely possible. There will be other options as the season goes on aswell. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
