Flappy

The lad Thomson at Edinburgh looks very consistent tbf.

Yet he's riding well for Oxford. I don't want to make light work of any personal problems but they don't seem to be having any effect in the lower league. I think it just highlights that rightly there is a big gap between the leagues

He's 44 it happens when trying to still compete at high levels. It actually shows how superb last season's achievements were and they should never be forgotten.

Nicholls and Ostergaard are on high averages and are really struggling. Replacing them is the issue lot's of 4/5 pointers but not many 6,7,8 pointers.

There's a few who could step into the reserve slot once Ben steps up. We need to find a way of enticing another big hitter over easier said than done. If Kildemand was fit I'd say he'd be nailed on. Bjerre maybe

The re-signing of Ostergaard is looking even more bonkers by the meeting 7.09 wow

When is the transfer window open for everyone other than Belle Vue

Nicholls gifted and point, Ostergaard fails to score and Jenkins gifted a point

Yes Andersen has scored tonight but there's a bigger picture here.

Nicholls, Ostergaard, Andersen, Jenkins nowhere near good enough and the first 3 are so sad to see after last season but the league has improved

Tbf maybe it is time to look to the future.

Christ Nicholls at 5

There's not much you can do get 40+ year olds back to form. Ostergaard should never have been signed end of story

Ostergaard also needs to go but replace him with who?

From Jordan Palin on Facebook Following the announcement by the management at Peterborough Panther’s I would like to confirm that I understand the decision and support the long term objectives of the Club. I have worked extremely hard over the winter to ensure all my equipment was ready for the new season and have been proactive in the development and progression of my career. It was and still is vital that my equipment is at the cutting edge of what is available. As with any development it can take time to fine tune, however my recent scores in the Championship and Poland have shown that my objectives for the development of the chassis and engine’s have now started to deliver against my high expectations for my own development. When I was made aware by the management of their decision I had to respect it and focus on the opportunities I had in Poland. The decision allowed me to book travel to enable me to attend the practice sessions with the coaching staff at Torun and that has enabled me to deliver in the very competitive U24 matches the following day. The help and guidance has also reflected in my contribution to the Team GB U23 performance. Whilst I remain a Peterborough Panthers squad member I will always give to the best of my ability, as I do with any club that I am lucky enough to represent. I wish Jordan the best of luck with his opportunity and can assure every one who knows me that I will continue to strive to deliver above expectation.

Plus Rob Lyon says he's worked with Jenkins before

So Jordan Jenkins replaces Palin for the next couple of meetings

Ouch

Is Kildemand fit yet? He did sign for Lynn after all

For me Ostergaard needs to go before his average changes

Agreed out of loyalty as there's not enough of it in the sport. Maybe it's simply not a sport where you can be loyal with points limits changing yearly

The league has just improved and Panthers haven't. We stayed the same whilst the others evolved, I don't think it's any more than that. The points limit raised, other clubs signed the likes of Iversen, Kildemand, Zagar, Holder, Fricke, Doyle, Musiliek, Kurtz, Masters etc and we stayed loyal like a lot of us fans wanted as they were bloody brilliant last year. We messed up team building quite simple

Last in our home leg of the pairs ouch

I get he's self employed but it is a bit mad how many meetings he's riding

Scott Nicholls is 44 today. Didn't realise he was that old
