Flappy

It was. Excuses are being made

This 100%. it's looking for someone to blame

Or don't sign Ulrich on that average. They were loyal and there's not enough of it these days but there's loyal and there's almighty gambles

For me we have to be careful here. I see the dogs starting to come out for Buster and the track, it has a feel of just because we're losing we look for a scapegoat like king's Lynn did last year. This management and team defied all the odds last season when they should've been nowhere near in reality, in hindsight they should've gone out on a high but fancied another shot at it which is proving the wrong call. Last season should never be forgotten as it was so special. It wouldn't surprise me if Kildemand ended up in the team as soon as he's fit, Klindt is also available.

He should never have been signed on a 7+ average.

Pathetic by Panthers

Yep dad's army are done. Legends for last season but they're finished

Silly comparison. I just feel it may have been one injury too many. I don't want to see a legend sacked though

I think in reality Hans is done as a heat leader level even in the UK

Of course it did. Ostergaard and Andersen in particular were never going to reach 7 point averages again

Starting averages MPT 7.17 Nicholls 6.54 Ostergaard 7.09 Andersen 7.05 Harris 6.84 Basso 4.00 Palin 3.00

Looks that way unfortunately. Legends the lot of them for last season and for that I get why they all came back but in hindsight it needed 2-3 changes

Only Basso is currently riding his average or higher

Palin and Andersen off the pace again

Yep think Hans suits the retirement paradise that is named Plymouth now

Harris aside from today has started the season well. I am worried about Nicholls, Andersen and Palin though. This really does show the magnitude of the achievement last season.

Yep. They made history last year and they'll be club legends for it but they look their age atm

Quite embarrassing

This should be close tbf MPT won the Peter Craven and the rest of the panthers go well around Belle Vue

From a development point of view he appears to be short on confidence and power. From a team point of view he was scoring good points come the end of last season, let's hope he kicks on again and doesn't stagnate

What's up with Palin? Hangover from last year?

Basso is better than Brennan

Not good for the lad who had found some good form. Palin on the other hand is really struggling at the moment.

Dan Gilkes in good form in the championship. Must be worth a call up soon with Palin struggling and running R/R for MPT

Swap deal?
