That's a little unfair on Len Silver. (did I really say that?) There's a good chance that Lakeside would've shown Edward the door if Len had put his foot down and insisted he rides for the Rockets when there is a fixture clash. We could've had one pi$$ed off team captain and look what that did to us last year. Catch 22 situation, not a lot he could do in my opinion.

That's a little too simplistic..... Ipswich's "weakened team" had five riders with more laps around Rye House than both of our new boys Robin and Nikolaj. In fact it was Nikolaj's first competetive races around there. Most if not all of your side had had competetive races before last Saturday. Only Edward Kennett, to my knowlege, had had any Peterborough were missing Simon Lambert and Olly Allen only had a couple of rides, but who's to say it would've made made any difference to the result had Lambert not been elsewhere and Allen hadn't had taken that alarming crash? Perhaps the scores would've been closer, but I'd have still fancied us for the win, especially with Nikolaj having his first look at the place and scoring so well all round the team. Kennett would've scored as many if not more than Masters on previous form round there. Somerset were weakened by the loss of Charles Wright, I'll grant you that, but a 17 point win against 5,12 & 21 point home defeats last year...that's a hell of a turnaround! My friends will tell you I'm one of the most pessimistic Rockets fans you can find, but even I can see that this is no way a bottom three side. We're aiming a lot higher than that.

Edinburgh is a Friday track

Seems not. Looking further ahead to 2016, with the way Nikolai Busk Jakobsen has started we could be in the awkward position of having two 8 point riders by the end of this year. Someone will have to make way

The last thing we want is an unhappy rider.

When Anders Mellgren was asked when the Swedish speedway season started he shrugged his shoulders

He's no mug that Chris Louis. Last Thursdays light showers were a gift from the gods and may mean his side are still in the League Cup after the group stages

Few of our team below par, lacking track time. You did well to get away with a point.

No mate. I'm not getting carried away. Still sides finding their feet. Can't complain about the start we've made and Luke has yet to get going. Definitely not wooden spoon material as some have suggested. Nikolaj Jakobsen is something else. If these early results don't get more people through the gate, then speedway really is in trouble

Can't see what all the fuss is about. He was pants last night

That's not the only downside Mostly caused by him

Me, moan?

Always thought 25/1 was a ridiculous price. We'll be mid table, around 6th place with an injury free run

At the risk of upsetting fellow Rockets fans I can't help thinking that Kasper is at the wrong club for his riding style. You can't pull off the moves he did at the EOS at Rye. Depends on the occasion

Losing Charles Wright weakens Somerset, but I still think it'll be close. Too close to call. The Rockets shoukd be in good spirits after last nights result. Overcast, breezy & cold here Loads have given up with the BSF due to the many trolls and abusers on here.

If our paths ever cross (unlikely) and Jenga makes himself/herself known (even more unlikely) then of course. I'm a man of my word. Fingers crossed it ain't a bloke!

Olly took a heavy fall into the first bend air fence after running out of room outside Nikolai Jakobsen. A few Panthers fans booed the decision to exclude him, but it was the correct decision. Hope his injuries aren't as bad as suspected.

Been announced as suspected I'm easy

Guilty as charged

Quite enjoyed that. 25/1 my arse!!

Big wet kiss from me if that happens

If this guy can hit a 6+ average this year he'd have done very well

Need to have a word in Stefan Ekbergs ear. He recommended Linus Sundstrom to Len Silver

Too early to judge, but this could be a long season for the Bears. Can't understand the Konopka signing. Was pretty poor on the two occasions I saw him last year. As HT said, Graversen anywhere but reserve is gonna struggle

Didn't know he was 27!!! Bit of a worry that he's been around for a while and hasn't been on the radar of any British clubs.
