Update on Olly Allen

 

Injury not as bad as originally feared

Doesn't need second operation

Going home tomorrow with leg in plaster and will be non weight bearing for 6 weeks. Ligaments and tendons stretched which will take a while to recover.

Giving that doctors are saying there may be a six month recovery, Peterborough must surely be looking at a new No1.

as i see it , its going to take 6 weeks before olly can put any weight on it . then there will be getting used to walking properly. then building the ankle/leg back up to strength. then there is practising on the bike to make sure every things ok. then its all about getting back into the groove..

 

so looks like a 8/10 week lay off at least.. be patient , its a human .

Doctors have said 6 months - is medical science another of your hidden talents and therefore you have a different opinion?? :wink:

Agree. Bringing Roynon in at reserve for Greenwood would leave around 7.5 to play with.

 

I agree cannot afford to get rid of Palm Toft..... The blokes great!!

 

Greenwood does look vunerable at reserve I agree....

Now Roynon at reserve could be a trump card!!

The best solution would be to keep both and add a seven pointer at the expense of Greenwood. Harsh on him but that's speedway and I'm sure he'd soon get snapped up.

I'm sure his 'work commitments' will be resolved all of a sudden and he will soon make himself available to Somerset again...

of course MPT should really be that 7.50 rider himself anyway but thats a different story!

Not sure why Greenwood hasn't clicked yet this season.

 

Last season he was in great form before he bust his collar bone.

His maximum was testament to that.

 

Also saw him score very well at Rye House for Panthers last season.

 

 

Bit unfair to consider ditching him already.

I agree

he'll have a while yet until Roynon is back I suspect -

keep going with Guest at number 1 I'd guess...

toft cant commit to a full pl season because he lost an important sponsor. thats what he told workington.

 

p/boro need to throw cash or sponsors his way to make it pay.

Bottom line is Panthers need to win something this year to attract fans..success breeds success. The reason Poole do so well is because that annoying owner of theirs always makes the right moves in terms of riders and I hope our new guy does the same. I like what I've heard from him so far (like being angry with losing so ordering tonnes of shale-correct move). My point is they need to ruthless and do what's right in terms of personnel and if that means axing Olly G and bringing in a better rider (with keeping MPT) then that's what needs to be done..for the good of the club.

Is replacing Greenwood with a 7+ rider within the budget that the crowds allow though??

No point winning in 2015 and closing in 2016.

Right idea, 5 years too late but right idea.
