If that is the team i worry about us holding on to a lead later on in meetings. Heats 13 and 15 springs to mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jakobsen and Pickering are on false averages. Pickering was averaging nearly 8 at one point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedball 566 Posted December 6, 2022 Team being revealed in a supporters meeting at the stadium on Monday December 12th, 7:30pm start. As has been said, if it’s anything other than Klindt, Jorgensen, Pickering, Palm Toft, Kasprzak, Jakobsen & Edwards I’ll be very surprised. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many say we'll have a 'super strong' reserve throughout the season, but that only works if there's strength at No1 & No5. Unfortunately, the make-up of that team, 2nd half of meeting it's getting heavily battered. Not 1 of those rider's stands up against any of the other teams (predicted) Heatleader's, it's frightening.

Bagpuss 10,827 Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Pretty clear that the idea is to emulate P'boro class of 2021, they tried last year but it didn't work. The plan is to have six riders averaging around seven and a FTR who chips in, if that's the case there won't be too many big hitters above say Klindt and Pickering....you are probably looking at Doyle and Bewley, possibly Fricke, Holder, Kurtz, Harris, Museilak & Masters although they can all be hit and miss. The key is that the top six has to be rock solid and the senior reserve must hit double figures. Don't forget MPT was at 1 for P'boro when they won the title. Our league isn't littered with massive names, there's certainly nothing frightening out there IMO. Having Jakobsen at reserve should be more scary for other sides. One thing which MUST happen is winning at home every week, over the last few seasons we've lost far, far too often on home soil.

He's underrated imo. Picko & Jakobsen are two big average improvers. KK won't be as bad as the majority think imo. He'll have a couple of his cba nights along the way but I think he'll do well enough in the end. I don't know how Ipswich & Leicester are going to finish off team building yet but I think the rumoured KL team is much better than Wolverhampton's 1-7.
