King's Lynn Stars 2013


Recommended Posts

To my mind Iversen Szczpainak and Wolbert are the 3 I'd want to return for definite and if averages allow I'd add Mads to that list as well - if rumours are to believed schlien could also be joining Lynn after that I guess Kozza and David Howe could be in the frame .

And others I'd love to see at Lynn include MBJesen and Michal Michelsen but I'd guess both of them will go elsewhere in 2013 .

 

I'm surprised with Wolbert on your list - when I saw him this year he was no better than a junior the first time and a little better the second time. What about Magic? Did he not pull any rabbits out the hat for you? And no U21 championship to worry about!

To be fair Wolbert probably produced his two worst performances of the season at Blunsdon, although he was also poor at the EoES on Good Friday. He was fairly inconsistent (like everyone else bar Puk really) but on his good nights was excellent and also very entertaining. Definitely worth keeping on for 2013.

 

Magic was very similar but I didn't always feel that he was giving his all when behind, he often seemed to have a nibble for a lap or two and then settle for his position, although this wasn't always the case. His scores in other leagues were equally inconsistent but on his average he would probably have to be second heat leader and if possible I'd personally prefer someone a bit more proven like Schlein, Bjarne, Harris etc.

Wolbert received some help from the right person toward the end of the season. Once this person had sorted his engine out, he improved and looked more like the Kevin Wolbert that I witnessed racing for Edinburgh when Lynn were still in the PL. I would take him back in a reserve berth, hands down.

 

You are a Swindon supporter I assume? If you are, you should know why Magic has been left out of the equation by some Stars fans. He was too inconsistent all year sadly. To be fair, I expected more from him. I like Magic, but he just didn't deliver. Him being out of the world U21s in 2013 may not make that much difference. It might change things, but there is always that chance that it won't.

He delivered both times at the Abbey for the Stars em1500uk, including a brilliant last bend pass on Andersen to salvage a point (later withdrawn). He's well worth perservering with i reckon.

 

We at Swindon will probably not use him next season, so you can bring him on a little more, although i only expect a gradual improvement on this year.

Person? Are you not allowed to say Michael Lee was doing his engines? :/

 

Our top 3 will be Niels, Schlein and Mads in my opinion...

 

Having a look around, after his performance in the world cup for Czech Republic, i'd give Ales Dryml a go on 4.65, would be a good reserve anywhere.

 

Iversen

Mateusz

Mads

Howe or Allen or Cook/Wolbert

Schlein

A Dryml

Kozza/Birks

 

Just comes under a 42 point limit.

He may have delivered a few times home and away, but for someone who in my eyes was supposed to be a heatleader, he just didn't amount to much. I hate to say it, but some Robins fans theories on him were proved to be right to a certain extent. I feel the same as Bagpuss, with the average he's on, he'd probably have to be our 2nd heatleader next year, and in all honesty, I would much rather have someone like Harris or Schlein in that berth. We lacked a consistent 2nd or 3rd heatleader this season, so that is one thing that needs correcting for next year in my opinion. I really like Magic, don't get me wrong, and he can be entertaining, but to take him back next year...well...I just ain't so sure that'd be a good decision.

I agree, the pressure on him to perform in a heat leader berth this season was probably too much to bare, although it amazes me how well he seems to do in Poland and Sweden.

 

Janowski riding at number 4 would be an asset to the Stars. I have said it before, but save for say Darcy Ward, i have not seen a better team rider at such a young age as Maciej.

We had the same at Swindon and some did point that out. For whatever reason both Mads and Magic were a bit inconsistent. Mads seems to have improved with your team, and Magic on his day is brilliant, but he seems to have meetings where he is not quite with it, but he is young and should improve.
