Yearbyred Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 Well I think it’s a solid team, the 5 younger lads in the team are all on the up so should be worth watching. Hell even I might go and watch occasionally! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy The Rebel Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 I would be pretty happy with that team,strongest reserve pairing in the league maybe not as strong at the top end with Jake Allen but I think a lot of teams will be weaker there with these new rules. think those reserves could win you matches and worse case scenario one moves up then Mulford going to reserve would arguably be the strongest reserve in the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Allen rode 2021 season for Redcar and averaged over 8!!If he repeats that,then I think most Bears fans would be happy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strength in depth could work .Not a bad Team.IMO.Thrte biggest trouble is that they don’t have big home track advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plus for this team is 6 of those riders can hit the ground running with set ups there’s no getting used to a different track which will be a big plus for Redcar.

SharpenRake Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Looks good to me. Only surprise is that some Poole fans haven't posted that you must be one of the favourites. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 While the team doesn't have the second heat leader strength of last year, it does have 3 "3rd heat leaders" so the 3/4 pairing should be strong. Very decent reserves, especially of they carry on improving. Hard to judge till we see other teams complete, but see no reason they can't fight for the title.

Both 'newcomers' have previous spells at Redcar so it is a team that Bears fans can really identify with. In Edwards, Jenkins, Mulford, Scott and Pijper they have no less than five riders with significant potential for improvement. Just needs Allen to find his mojo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffa Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 I think the problem people have is the “ what we had” to “what we’ve got”. We have lost Danny King & Erik Riss and replaced them with Jake Allen & Jordan Jenkins, it’s just the initial optics tell you it’s not as good. Best analogy I can give is it’s like getting out of a Mercedes into a Skoda. Both equally capable of doing a good job but … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a bit of faith in your team, that's what I like to see. Bearing in mind that the Bears had a very good 25 season coupled to the one over 8 rule, then you inevitably had to loose riders for 26.To me the 26 Bears look to be a sound team, who should be contenders for silverware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
