Sidney the robin

Reserves win you nothing if you have no top end firepower, how many reserves do you think will move up and really cope in the top 5 ? it is a big ask.

You got lucky last year fair play though, i will be surprised if a team wins it without having at least two riders averaging over 8.

Have you anough firepower at the top end of the team? Kurtz, Holder have huge potential but if i was a Poole fan i might be a wee bit worried.

I always thought Poole had first option on Lidsey ? he did watch some meetings there did he not?.If not i know it is a longshot but surely Matthew Gilmore and Brayden Mcguinness are destined to try British speedway soon.?

I think Nick will be back Crazy at some stage in his career , i hope so and i think he will be a great signing for the Wolves.Your main point which is relevant and could be proved right has Rosco gone the same way as last year in building this side are they similar???? That side failed badly last year so why would 2019 be any different we shall see if Lampart struggles a decision there has to be made quickly though.

Maybe a different shape hope so anyway.

Robin why has Nick stitched us up? he needs a new challenge also are the likes of Nielsen,Jackobsen,Berge,Andersson, reserves being bandied about are they that great not really.If we don't do anything this year it won't be just down to the reserves it will be that our top four have not done the business we shall see eh!!!

Look i am open minded on Dawid if he does not cut it he will be replaced in 2012 he did really quite well .Since then he has improved but do i expect 4/5 points hopefully yes in a top five that won't be easy we shall see.Our top four i am more than happy with it has firepower if you look at Poole's maybe side loads of question marks to be answered.??

I personally don't think he is a PL rider technically not great, also he has had good backing he has been unlucky with injury but that would concern me .Plus i see him at Swindon the other year and of course he has improved a lot did well at Scunny but believe it or not prefer the reserves we have also he has had a bad injury he has to comeback from that.

With Pickering you have a real good shout a very promising rider indeed, Nielsen not for me not a fan he is our asset but I don't see the fascination with him.

He won't be that but can those three riders get 10 /13 points a meeting between them ?? It will be diffficult Lisa, but i am really confident with this top four at home we will be hard to beat. Zach also when he is at it is very good at home he is capable of putting a point on his average.

Our reserves are no mugs the simple fact last year was our top 5 never clicked together on the same day.This year's team looks different Musielak and Ellis can improve Batch is a good number 2 and Doyley well he is the best.

Alot of teams who have a good top 5 Swindon did last year never have a great no 1 Swindon in 2019 have one the best.

You can have the best reserve in the league but if you have not got the firepower it wont matter.

Well those two reserves we have i am more than happy to take over Nielsen ( as an example) who is injury prone.Does this strength in depth really work? i would take the firepower of a few big hitters over the strength in depth theory.As a example Poole Holder and Kurtz both riders i like and rate but they will have to step up. If they dont score twenty plus points between them are Poole going to win many matches.??

The top four we have i am very happy with alot of teams will have riders of the ability of Zach/ James so we should be fine. Dawid if he can score 4 or 5 points i will be happy a gamble but one worth taking heat 13/15 we are going to be hard to beat.

Looking at the averages how false does Ash Morris figures look i felt as a rider he really has improved.Even in the top five he was battling away hope he can progress again.

I might not agree with all the thing's Ford has done over the years but you have to give credit for the success he has had over a prolonged period.Nothing would give me greater pleasure if Poole can get there track sorted Lisa because i have enjoyed going to Poole over the years especially the 1980s.

Your best bet is for your club to get the track right first before you worry about winning.!!!

Personally Ray all i want is to be entertained if the team do well fine that is a added bonus.In recent years the racing at Swindon has been poor hopefully with a different shaped track that might help in that regard.Speedway is an entertainment sometimes people forget that and some fans are prepared to watch dross as long as the team is winning.

He is not bitter about it like myself did not agree with it then and feels the same now.This is one of the biggest problems we have in British speedway stupid rules no continuity and a win at all costs mentality.Around that period if you look back Ford had a nightmare bringing in the likes of Kennett, Lahti, Starke, Zengota, Worrall, ( ect) switching riders mostly out of desperation.

That is not the point he is British and was pushed out, Jackobsen could be decent Nielsen did well but i am not a fan glad Zach got the nod over him at Swindon in 2019 Shanes was shabbily treated end of.

I am not convinced with this side,looks to many ifs/but's in it but i believe Fricke can really kick on again and Lidsey is a talent.Bjerre for Cookie? not for me Cookie all day long Worrall and Dan are the key can they both comeback from injury i hope so.

Great to have James on board and i have to say i am well chuffed with our side for 2019.James / Zach can surprise a few James is a rider who excites with his never say die approach and Zach is a rider i really like it should be an exciting season Doyley also to push for the WC again.

In heats 13/15 we are going to be mightily strong David i feel can do a job how many points do we expect 4 or 5 ?? in a tough top five position.The reserves it is going to be difficult if it was say Zach and maybe Brennan ( unlikely he impressed me) at home we would cope away a different ball game.Whoever it is the reserve position is going to be difficult to fill really happy with the side though Wolves are the only side at the moment that worry me.
