Robinh88 571 Posted October 20, 2015 I would imagine Berwick will go for strength and depth like 2014 for 2016 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mythman666 244 Posted October 21, 2015 With a British 3 point rider having to start at reserve it does make me wonder whether the club will persevere with Coty Garcia at reserve. Of course if they do it would allow for a powerful top 5 but I feel a lot of clubs will try and go down the route of a high scoring reserve rider where possible.

mythman666 244 Posted October 21, 2015 Hard to say. Edinburgh proved this year that you don't need huge scoring reserves to win meetings. But in the past reserves not scoring has been the achilles heel of Berwick sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in the past reserves not scoring has been the achilles heel of Berwick sides.Lets face it the "Cook "factor makes a huge difference.No other Team had that,on top of that hardly any TEAMS can ride the Dale so home wins were relatively straight forward .We have the situation where everybody can ride Berwick and if they gate were in trouble as Home advantage seems nil whatever type of Team we put on track. how many seasons now has Ht13 & 15 been our Achilles heel,along with the Black and white tactical. Entertaining meetings must be the priority whatever Type of Team we assemble. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose a what suits one side doesn't suit another and just because it works for Edinburgh doesn't mean that it'll work for us. If you manage to win all your home meetings and pick up a handful of points away, you are going to be there or there abouts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in the past reserves not scoring has been the achilles heel of Berwick sides. What helps is signing a rider who under performed alarmingly in 2014, then puts two points on his average the following year.
