ouch 1,191 Posted February 27, 2018 I’m pleased that people think we’re finally going to show consistent home form as for the last two years we’ve had the poorest of form out of the top three teams but conversely we’ve been decent away. Ken and Jack combined averaged 8.50 away last year and whilst I don’t think Jay and Damien will match that I hoping four from them plus some improvement from the rest will see us sneak a few bonus points. Must admit though I’d be happy to go with the pundits and see us restrict those home losses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lionsroar 13 Posted February 28, 2018 Based on the starting line ups 1st Belle Vue ( KM: Drodz ) 2nd Poole ( KM: Sundstrom) 3rd Leicester (KM: Pieszczek) 4th Somerset (KM: W- Dean) 5th Rye House(KM:Kasprzak) 6th Wolves (KM: Heeps) 7th Swindon (KM: Bellego) 8th King Lynn (KM: Proctor) The key men that i have picked are riders who i think are vital to the teams success not the best riders but the one’s who will need to step upto the plate. 1st sacking of the season : Mitchell Davy (Swindon) I iust feel this is maybe 1 step too far for Mitchell & Rosco will look bring in a stronger rider or a NL rider who is in form once some other riders averages drop.

Agree with your top 3 but I think the next 5 all pretty much of a likeness which is why I predicted that we will finish 4th. I also said that we would be this years surprise team and I still think that. The overall league imo will be much closer than for years which should make it more interesting. The bottom 5 could all have a shout for a play-off place going into their last couple of matches which would be good for both supporters and British speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t really argue with that as I think it’s going to be extremely close throughout the league. I can never get my predictions right take last season I put Swindon to finish bottom so what do I know. This season you could maybe draw the finishing positions out of a hat and be closer than some peoples predictions (mine included). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I agree it's going to be a close contest this season which can only be a good thing, personally like the look of the Leicester team has a lot of potential.

Sorry with a team that includes Bates, Newman and Sarjeant I just can’t see them finishing in the top 2. Much happier with our bottom 3 of Rose, Kerr and Andersen Edited February 28, 2018 by Clive Ward Something to add Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am confident Proctor can step up to the mark and be a decent acquisition. Been unlucky with injuries in the past, so getting a good run of meetings could be invaluable. Watching him perform for Sheffield against Leicester showed he has much too offer. I think he is more than capable of putting pressure on those team members around him in the rankings... TJ, Rose , Kerr and Andersen are all of similar positions and each's performances will have a bearing of where the Stars finish.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
