Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Don't worry people, its not me I was asking for, I am far too opinionated and offensive. I was just wondering, as I could think of a couple of people that I think would be fantastic additions imo. Edited December 14, 2019 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted December 15, 2019 Another 2 signings announced next week. Probably King and Klindt. Then I guess that’s your lot until after Christmas. Got a feeling this #1 search will go on well in to the new year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Klindt is at 1 then we’ve packed the reserves and Ayres doesn’t feature. I still like that proposed line up you put up tbh with Nicholls and Covatti at reserve.

Like Peterborough, and like Wolves, I think it's scuppered team building. There are a lack of number 1s to go around and imo, it should have been split this season. Lambert and cook at KL. Doyle and Batchelor at Swindon. PK and Kurtz at BV. Holder and Pedersen at Sheffield. 8 number 1s being shared by 4 teams. I don't know how we could realistically implement it, but this season will see clear gaps from 3rd downwards. Peterborough and Ipswich are going to be struggling to put a competitive side out.

He's a decent second string/3rd heatleader. I'm pretty sure Ipswich will be solid across the 1 to 7 but like last season, they will struggle at the top end and in the big races. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 'new No1' doesnt necessarily have to have the highest starting average and come in at No1 whatever the reserve option It's really the 5th 6th and 7th riders everyone is guessing at.

Surely the Number 1 does have to have the highest average and ride at 1 - unless that rule is changed for 2020?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) There are still a few options for our 5 6 7 riders, get that right and we will still be contenders, Edited December 15, 2019 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he means Chris Holder could sign on less than Klindt but become the number one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted December 15, 2019 Chris Harris was signed as a number 1 but ended up being a number 2..... Ipswich are after a rider that could ride at number 1 as have just shy of 8 points remaining. However it may be that he has a lower ave so to put Klindt (when announced) at 1 for the start of the season. E.g. if KK was signed he would technically be our new no 1... but has a lower ave than Klindt. If Zager was signed then he would be new no 1 AND ride at 1.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 15, 2019 Not so sure say holder and Ayres would outscore, Covatti and Nicholls, and going strong reserve route, could be any of Nicholls, Covatti Allen Heeps at any time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
