Yes you would be better with Hume.

Personally I think he will always be the better rider of the two over a complete season, they will both have their ups and downs like last season.

I think I replied in a honest way, obviously I hope things work for the best outcome at Poole. As for Ipswich they have a good back for Doyle in King, I don't think they need a superstar signing to back up Doyle, he can win most meetings on his own!

Not weaker in my view, Ben Cook can easily step up, he was riding like a heat leader at the end of the season and more racing will help in view, riding in the Premiership can only make him better. I don't think we will need to make changes, we could have done last season with the way some of our riders were performing but we kept faith and it worked out pretty well. Also our number 7 is better, more experienced rider although I hope Ablitt will be back at some point in the future.

I think you should get Hume back, improving rider who in my opinion could put a point on his average.

Ben Cook didn't have the best of starts to the season but he finished the season like a true heat leader, always seems to have the edge over his brother too which is a plus for Peterborough when they meet Wolves. One of the things both Cooks are good at is listening and learning from other riders, if Holder is in the team that would certainly help him and in my opinion the track will suit him and the Panthers fans will grow to love him, some of his rides and passes at the end of last season were amazing. At 25 some might think he won't improve anymore but I think there is still plenty to come .

Personally don't think any of them are one track ponies and are genuine heat leader standard, Becker had a bad start to last season but rode much better later in the season.I certainly don't think Wolves are a bad team.

Just thought I would ask what you had got wrong which as it turns out many others got wrong too.

What has he got wrong?

No need, it's obvious.

The team is built very solid with no weak links, most of the riders are capable improving, some more than others. Worrall and Lawson may not but the others should, even if we have a dodgy start, history tells us that come the play offs we will usually be at our best. I don't know how Middlo does it but if there is a secret formula he has it.

His early season average dropped to 4.90 so to get it to 6.09 shows how good he was later in the season. Easily capable of a 7 point average in my view.

Ben is easily capable of staying as third heat leader, his 6 point average is false as he had a bad start to the season, I appreciate it will be tougher and a step up but some of his performances later in the season were so good that I believe he is easily capable of moving up.

I think Zach will do well at Wolves too in his first year in the Premiership

Chalk and cheese in terms of potential, Zach will improve alot next season, Keleher was awful riding for Poole.

Yes already announced Thomas will ride at 2, probably won't stay at 2 for the whole season.

I thought he was let go by Oxford and then Redcar snapped him up

He rode for Redcar later in the season so he was managing it at that point I assume with maybe the use of painkillers. With some rest hopefully will be fully fit for the new season.

I think that the team is built with solid reserves to capitalise on other teams weaker reserves so I would think that there will be a bit of swapping between the number 2 and the reserves. There seems to be quite a few two pointers in other teams. Whether we can win another title I don't know but we definitely have a chance, a strong reserve is vital. Jack Thomas is a great signing in my opinion,if he stays injury free he can be a massive plus for us.

Fairly sure we would pick Newman over Bailey, Newman is injured now but it is only December so plenty of time to fully recover.

I think most know the team, just not announced yet as usual. I don't remember us ever announcing the team all in one go and Danny Ford has already said there is no rush. It will be drip fed to get maximum local media coverage.

I am sure Kyle will be fine, Josh Mcdonald!!! Wouldn't Zischke be a 5.00?

Not if one of the 4 pointers is Newman.

Of the riders left available I am pretty sure he will be in the side.

Newman please
