TTT

More of the same from Wolves imo Just the two changes at reserve imo

Schlein to Berwick rumours gathering pace as well now I don’t like where this is going tbh

Fill in the blanks. 1. 2. Josh Pickering 3. Michael Palm Toft 4. Thomas Jorgensen 5. Nicolai Klindt 6. Frederik Jakobsen 7.

Chris Harris has left Berwick and he did turn up at the end of season party so maybe something's in that if we're running at Championship level under new management.

Agree. I'd rather race at Championship level if we can't build a competitive Premiership team. You can easily build a successful Championship team with Harris, Andersen & MPT leading the team imo.

Good shout tbh.

Niels Kristian Iversen in for Chris Harris would be a very good good start because Niels is very reliable around our place who'll do the job required of a No.1. Krzysztof Buczkowski in for Ben Basso would be a like for like replacement. Both riders are big hitters around Peterborough but neither would offer much on the road. Best MPT replacement options? Ryan Douglas would be an ideal replacement for Tofty but it sounds like he wants to stay at Wolves. Danny King is another one who would be ideal but Chris Louis would never build a team that doesn't have Danny in it. Other MPT replacement options? Rohan Tungate would score heavy around Peterborough but he wouldn't offer much on the road at all. Charles Wright if Belle Vue release him or Nick Morris if Wolves release him.

Massive trouble tbh. I've always liked Rory as a rider and I do rate him around most tracks but Peterborough isn't one of them. He's never been any good around Peterborough. We have to replace our outgoing race winners with riders like Iversen, Bjerre, Buczkowski etc. who are all former Panthers who can consistently score big points at Home. Just for an example replacing MPT, Basso & Harris with Jorgensen, Schlein and Lawson isn't going to wash.

What do you think? 42.49 1. Niels Kristian Iversen 7.59 2. Troy Batchelor 5.57 3. Rohan Tungate 6.61 4. Krzysztof Buczkowski 6.02 5. Michael Palm Toft 6.86 6. Hans Andersen 4.93 7. Craig Cook 4.91

It's easy. The pool of riders is going to be thin. Iversen, MPT, Kildemand, Tungate, Jorgensen, Batchelor, Nicholls, C. Cook, H. Andersen, Jenkins + Some riders who may fancy returning to Britain.

I say that because I feel like we're letting the only riders who can win a race around Peterborough go. The replacements would have to be track specialists who can score big points around Peterborough and I just don't see where they're going to come from at the moment. The points limit will be higher next season to a point where clubs won't have to release much if anything from their 2022 sides.

If MPT goes to Lynn then you can pencil us in for the wooden spoon already imo.

Not guaranteed to get any meetings for Bydgoszcz. They've got 3 U24 riders all battling it out for the starting spot (Basso, Szlauderbach & Mihailovs)

Ben Basso gives off LIV golfer vibes. Don't know about other Panthers fans but I'm not too fussed about losing him tbh. Yes he's very good around Peterborough but he's on a 6.81 average and that doesn't represent good value for someone who was pretty poor away from home imo.

Money before career type of rider then. How does he expect to improve and develop as a rider by riding in the Championship whilst dropping the much tougher Premiership.

Dot the I's and cross the T's Will we even be running in 2023? Was it just PR without anything signed in ink? Tonight has left us with more questions than answers

That doesn't sound good at all tbh.

Already shooting ourselves in the foot ahead of the 2023 season and it's not even the 1st of January yet.

?

Yes 42.50 I wouldn't be surprised if that happened tbh.

Speakes volumes doesn't it.

Apparently we're getting an announcement about the management structure tonight so I wouldn't rule that out. I agree it really is a long shot but maybe nobody else wants Batchelor to a point where the rider and Buster are desperate so they've got no choice but to bury the hatchet to help each other out?

That's why I don't want him tbh. All depends on what side of the bed he wakes up on every week. He's got the talent but it's irrelevant if the mindset isn't right. Could turn up and score anywhere between 8 or 2.

He does tbh. Think Hans only has a year or two left in him riding as a reserve tbh. Just a case of what frame of mind Cookie's in.

Based off Pickering's interview a few weeks ago where he was talking like he's staying and so are the majority of the 2022 side. 1. Richard Lawson 7.71 2. Josh Pickering 6.14 3. Peter Kildemand 6.67 or 7.10 (He fits either way) 4. Thomas Jorgensen 6.35 or Richie Worrall 6.31 5. Nicolai Klindt 7.39 6. Fredrik Jakobsen 5.04 7. Jason Edwards or Jack Thomas 2.50
