Have to have some good middle order riders in to stand any chance of being up there. There isn’t much between them really. I like KB. He’s consistent and flys round the NSS. That’s a really, really strong top 2 that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to believe Belle Vue have binned Cookie for play off Kenny... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted December 10, 2018 The difference between signing Bjerre (7.02) and Cook (7.54) means the Worralls, Bewley, Etheridge & a 4.00 rider can complete the team with 0.19 spare. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces High 70 Posted December 10, 2018 I am happy Bjerre is back if he can ride like he did in 2017. After the home defeats to Kings Lynn last year we simply had to get stronger at the top of the order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could also say Cook scoring 3, FX, FX, 1' = 4+1 at Wolverhampton also cost us! I know which rider I prefer and its not Cook! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Mark Riss finished the season on 4.17 he'd obviously fit instead of the 4.00 rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct about the difference although Etheridge & Richie Worrrall won't be in team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our 2018 team added upto 45.34 (the highest in the league) so we had to drop nearly 3 points off that. Tungate was never going to improve his average and is poor away from NSS, Bjerre is on a baragin average and can put a point on that.

He was the only rider of our riders who you could trust to get anywhere near to Lindgren (too close as it turned out). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At home. Still as has been the case in the top league for a while, the first three months don't really matter, it's the team you have for the summer months/playoffs that counts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted December 10, 2018 Very pleased with the signings of Fricke and Bjerre. Bjerre's lower average gives us more room to strengthen the bottom end of the team, which is what cost us some meetings last season. If he can achieve his 2017 form we shall have a strong top 2 particularly, at home. I'm sorry to see Craig go. I think he will have a good season. I hope he does and wish him well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
