Islander15 1,065 Posted March 29 This should be an easy home win. If Howarth wants to fill the big shoes of Douglas then he needs to be looking at scoring a near maximum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle has a sub 8.00 average so is never gonna score what Douglas did, but his lower average allows them perhaps the best second string pair in the league, that could be what wins them meetings. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In years gone by Scunny struggled without an out and out number 1 until Douglas dramatically upped his game. Howarth is familiar with wearing number 1 on his back but after a sub par season at Plymouth, comes on a relatively low average to allow a stronger middle order. I’m not necessarily saying he will replace Douglas’ scoring but at home at a track he knows well I think he will score as a genuine number 1 and add a point to his average. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been a "number one" when at Leicester. So in a weaker league, certainly has the potential to put a point on his average. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted March 29 Chances of the meeting going ahead with cook and batchelor present was always going to be slim. track staff did a excellent job but another shower made the decision. At least everyone goes home fit and well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
