Tracks like Lakeside, Rye House and Eastbourne often seemed to overkill the home small track specialists to the detriment of their away results.. One thing for sure with MPT is that you will get 100%, so any gap, however tiny, will have his bike aimed at it, which will be fun to watch on a tight circuit.. I suppose with a home track advantage type team you keep the home fans happy seeing a winning team, especially back in the day with the bonus point , although a slightly different situation now, even so win all your home matches especially with an 8 + margin and playoffs virtually guaranteed , mind you I think MPT would be wanted at any track and team at the moment.

He hates it when Plymouth get any criticism but is one of the first to do it on other threads (mainly Poole and usually about the track!) Even though it's the best it's been for a long time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd definitely class MPT as a gater. He also loved riding for Plymouth previously 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted November 9, 2021 Looks a useful start to team building, but it’s always harder to judge when you don’t have other teams to compare against. Lawson should be a genuine number 1 and MPT will provide decent back up home and away. Kennett may be on the way down, but last season there were extenuating circumstances and he comes on a low average. He’s used to riding at number 1, not number 3! Whilst Atkins & Bowtell are both young and on the rise. Neither are progressing at lightning speed but both are gradually getting better and that’s the main thing.

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) It's a cheaper team than last year. It's also a better team than last year. Winner winner chicken dinner for Mark Phillips so well done Edited November 10, 2021 by Phil The Ace 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh that would offer a lot more strength in depth than this year. It’s all about getting them away results and I think this team would have much more of a chance.

Ruml is probably in contention imo "IF" Ruml is a Plymouth asset then it would be a no brainer to have him back. Lot's of pros & cons with Ben Barker & Adam Roynon - the biggest con would be they are both injury prone! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a fan per se but you can't deny he's box office at Plymouth. Don't rate Keleher and thought he was actually quite poor other than a couple of home meetings. Sooner see Ruml back or look at another younger Brit. I'm guessing Cook will end up at Poole with his Edited November 10, 2021 by Rogreg Wrong subject Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
