mudflaps Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Fans are told not to heap too much pressure on teen star Lambert Robert Lambert in action against Ipswich at Alwalton. Photo: David Lowndes Panthers fans have been urged not to heap pressure on hot property Robert Lambert. The sought-after teenager has launched his debut Premier League campaign in stunning style with four successive double-figure scores. It is a fine return from a rider who only celebrated his 17th birthday on Easter Sunday. The following day he played a starring role in the two triumphs which ignited the city club’s season. Lambert teamed up with Michael Palm Toft for a nerveless 5-1 in a final-heat decider to secure a 47-43 success at Rye House and he then top-scored with 13 points as Ipswich were blown away 56-37 at the East of England Showground. But team boss Carl Johnson stressed: “We were confident Robert would do well, but I must admit I’m pleasantly surprised by how quickly he has settled into the Premier League. “He is well suited to the Showground after growing up on the big, fast tracks in Germany, but he has a lot of new away tracks to learn and I was really impressed with what he produced at Rye House. “It is clear he is a class act but we should not expect too much, too soon. We must not build him up too much when he is going well and we can’t get on his back if things don’t go quite as well Johnson has also been hugely encouraged by the recent displays of Palm Toft. The Danish ace, drafted in on a short-term deal following the opening day of the season smash that left Adam Roynon nursing broken ribs and a punctured lung, has been hugely impressively of late. Palm Toft has been paid for 34 points in the past three meetings – form which could prompt bosses to attempt to hang onto him for longer. Johnson added: “Michael was fantastic over Easter and it is great to see him riding like that. His form could give us a headache but I would much rather have a problem due to a rider going well than one struggling. “We’ve not spoken to Michael about extending his stay at this stage.” Palm Toft could be a trump card tomorrow night when Panthers make the long trek to Plymouth for the first of two Southern Group meetings in three days against the Devils. The 24 year-old had a short spell with the Devon club in 2013 and is known to like the small St Boniface Arena track where the action gets underway at 7.15pm. Panthers have also drafted in the rider who finished last season as their number one to guest tomorrow night. Lasse Bjerre, now of Redcar, steps in for injury victim Olly Allen. GB rider Danny King is booked for the return clash at the Showground on Sunday (3pm) after starring against Panthers for Ipswich over Easter. Plymouth are spearheaded by American ace Ryan Fisher who rode for Panthers in 2013 and for the opening half of last season until being sidelined by a shoulder injury. http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/speedway/fans-are-told-not-to-heap-too-much-pressure-on-teen-star-lambert-1-6679099 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Lots of talk about retaining MPT but surely its not as simple as that. Currently he is just a temporary injury replacement and not in the formal declared 1-7 so to include him he has to be part of a redclaration. At that point there is provision to reassess his average even if he hasnt done 4 home and 4 away. Given that the formula for rolling averages from May will not include 2013 meetings even if that means using under 20 matches there is a chance the MC could choose to do that.

Check the Peterborough declaration on the BSPA web site, MPT is formally in the team and has been for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Check the Peterborough declaration on the BSPA web site, MPT is formally in the team and has been for a while.accepted - so infact Roynon was never in the official first declaration therefore MPT isnt actually a replacement at all.Of course MPTs average at 4.92 goes against regs 18.6.3 and 18.6.4. There is no provision to use his previous figure. He will be gaining a new 4 home 4 away average and 16.2.9 means the MC may issue a revised MA based upon actual rides if the team redclares.

Of course Roynon was in the team's initial declaration he rode in the first match (briefly) he was replaced by Palm Toft, why that isn't shown by the BSPA I have no idea. Yes his inclusion does go against speedways regulations but his inclusion is allowed by a previous ruling by the BSPA ( not in the rules) but still current which is how he is currently included, he will be obtaining a new average after 4H and 4A as will Robert Lambert.

Will be interesting to see if the MC choose to invoke the reg that IS in the book updating averages of MPT and Lambert before 4 home 4 away should a redclaration take place before May 1st. Would seem strange to use a rule that isnt in the book whilst choosing not to use one that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudflaps Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Panthers number one out for the season Panthers' star Olly Allen moments after the crash that has ended his season. Photo: David Lowndes. Peterborough Panthers number one Olly Allen has revealed his 2015 season is already over. Allen suffered serious ankle damage in a crash at the East of England Showground in the second competitive home meeting of the season last month. He initially expected to be in plaster for six weeks, but further medical assessments have led to his recovery time being set at six months. Writing on his Twitter account this morning (April 25), Allen said: “I am absolutely gutted to say my season is over. The ankle injuries are worse than expected with badly torn tendons being the biggest issue. “It is going to be six months before I can do weight-bearing exercise. I wish Panthers all the best, they have been fantastic to deal with and have the makings of a great club.” http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/speedway/panthers-number-one-out-for-the-season-1-6690878 Someone teach Plummer to proof read!!
