EnglishRoundabout Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I wouldn't of signed schlein or bjerre this season! Schlein has gone downhill since signing for us and he has a few matches where he's on fire then he goes hopeless again! Better riding as a guest then for Lynn! And bjerre injuries have taken there toll massively on him! I really like nic but feel he costs the team too much away from home and he really should be doing much better only Niels and lambert from last seasons top 5 were definates for me! It's boring keeping same team Hindsight is a wonderful thing! So by not signing those two before a wheel was turned, which in my opinion would have been a huge gamble, who would you have replaced them with then?

Not sure why the panic buttons are being pressed already. The team are currently 3rd in the table and have 100% home record. ALL of the team battled hard in the SCL meeting yesterday and held their own against a very tough line up. Really surprised with the negative comments about Rory, I'm sure there wouldn't be a shortage of clubs wanting to take him off your hands.

Schlein is always much sought after. He is a 100% trier and a good team man. To toss him aside after a reasonable season last year would have been plain daft. Bjerre has potential to bang in double figure scores at most tracks and was a nailed on heat leader for this season. Lynn were absolutely right to sign them both. Questions are always asked if certain riders aren't fulfilling their promise / potential. Both riders will come good. The old adage form is temporary class is permanent springs to mind here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) There is only one poster being negative about Rory. He is what he is, an inconsistent 6-7 point man who like several other heat leaders has found life harder under the new format. I don't think anybody could reasonably expect any more of him than he has given since coming to the club.

BluTiger Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I would prefer to build a team with Rory in it rather than Bjerre, every single day of the week.. Edited April 26, 2015 by BluPanther 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Nothing wrong with Schlein. Rides to his average season in season out and is a great team man. For a heatleader, Bjerre is the only concern. He's a trapper and when he doesn't, shows no interest in fighting for position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking purely at averages they have both seen their averages decreasing year on year since (2010 Bjerre apart from 2012) and (2011 Schlein).Personally I wouldn't get rid of any of those two.

I too don't want nobody out but how long do you leave it before a change is necessary? As a club, our modern history has shown that changes come way to late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 You stick with them and support them. Simon Stead came in for some awful stick at Swindon in their championship winning campaign but came through in the end with several late season match winning performances.

g13webb Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Surprisingly there are a few posters only too quick to put the boot in. Any body with eyesight can see Kenneth is struggling with confidence at the moment, and like all his previous injuries, it takes time for him to recapture his undoubtable talent. All these posters who say he isn't trying is ridiculous. Kenneth is someone who has a very conservative riding style, he has never been someone who moves all over the bike giving the impression he's giving it his all. Even when winning races he sit comfortable with the little weight he has in the right place. I am in no doubt if he is afforded the time and has an injury free period, he will recapture that talent that we all know he processes. All this talk about changes is all a bit premature. Last year we started off at break neck speed with all riders on song. This year we have had a few issues and some riders are taking more time to dial in to their potential. My feelings is that we persevere with the same team, and give them the time to put things right....... Mark my words, I've seen it many times now............. KB will come good and will be equal to any 2nd heat leader in the Elite League.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I would prefer to build a team with Rory in it rather than Bjerre, every single day of the week.. That would be a bit impractical - Rory is guesting elsewhere 3 days out of 7!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubichair Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Rather keep bjerre then Schlein as bjerre will come good where Rory will just decline! He tries which is fine and a great team man yes but he's in the decline! He's a slightly better version to mads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Hopefully our management will get them all going eh 😊 Starting at BV tomorrow!! Had a brainwave the other day, dunno if someone could make it happen, a 50th year book, pics of each meeting, including the staff, crowd etc. I'd buy it, would you? People have these books done of their wedding etc I know. Would've been great if the management had found out if there is enough support to lay on a minibus to our away meetings too. I realise that it's results that matter but this 50th anniversary probably means more to the long term fans than Buster and certainly the riders, but perhaps a little more input from the club would be great. Any thoughts? Edited April 26, 2015 by Trees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhoward Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I see that Bjerre scored 3 second places in Poland yesterday. NKI only managed 3 third places. There are quite a few unusual scores in most of the meetings though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Very good Mungo! lol A bad patch either amalgamates a team or pulls it apart, when the chips are down etc. Time will tell ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
