tellboy Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) I think King's Lynn will get something from this. Imagine it will be too close to call. Not if Schlein isn't racing.Hope he is ok after taking a journey to hospital in Poland today. Not many options as guests neither,the best ones I can see are Fricke or Zengota. If Schlein isn't fit what would be the best option a guest or R/R. Edited May 24, 2015 by tellboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Apparently 2 fractured vertebrae and is currently having surgery. Thanks. Saw on Facebook that he's currently having a 6 hour operation and his Polish club are saying his injuries are very serious which is why they acted so fast and operated ASAP. Fingers crossed he's ok 🙏 Edited May 24, 2015 by mdmc82 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) kenneth Bjerre may also now be out as has a hand injury Edited May 24, 2015 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 @oxo74: Sport can be really cruel (see last tweet) @RorySchlein3 undergoing surgery & now @kenneth_bjerre also out of @KingsLynnStars trip to Cov. Any idea why there's no Bjerre? He was involved in a biog crash this afternoon that saw the ambulance come out on track - although he id continue in the meeting. No Rory and Kenneth has turned what should have been a great meeting into a a bit of a non-meeting now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazza Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Kenneth picked up a hand injury in Poland today according to his facebook page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Definitely made my mind up not to go now. Whats that leave C.Cook for Bjerre think that's the only rider left available.Or Fricke for Schlein and R/R.What a nightmare for Buster and Rob to sort a team out for tomorrow.

No Rory and Kenneth has turned what should have been a great meeting into a a bit of a non-meeting now Coventry rode in the same fixture against King's Lynn last season with only 5 riders (only one reserve as KL disputed him riding) and they still won so not impossible for Stars to get something but definetly been made a lot harder.

MFE Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 It's not been official confirmed anywhere that Bjerre isn't riding yet, just that he's hurt his hand. Coventry rode in the same fixture against King's Lynn last season with only 5 riders (only one reserve as KL disputed him riding) and they still won so not impossible for Stars to get something but definetly been made a lot harder. I have seen the photo of KB hand on Facebook! If I were Lynn don't think I would be too impressed at his absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been officially confirmed be that he's not riding. I agree that it doesn't look too bad to look at it, however could still be in a lot of pain and bruising wouldn't come out fully till the morning.

shazza Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Looks like his left hand too so i doubt he would even be able to use the clutch once the bruising comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remember the meeting well. The dispute was because, Coventry tried to used an illegible rider, but you still had your top guns that day, and remember correctly, Bomber was on fire, but we got hammered. Today is totally different, You knew of Bomber's absence before hand and booked an adequate replacement in Scotty, we're struggling to name a team having had 4 injuries in the past week. As far as a competitive match is concerned this fixture is a dead duck. We cant even use riders from our youngster because they're riding as well.... I'm still planning to make the trip, but no doubt the numbers will be down for this one sided spectacle match, which is a shame bearing mind we're first and second in the league. Footnote: When we have a situation where our leagues are struggling through the shortest of top riders, causing too many of them riders doing both leagues, to arrange eight matches on the same day is FOOLHARDY. We haven't the numbers to compile 16 teams on the same day. There was always going to be problems There isn't enough replacements when the problems inevitably arise. .

Can't believe this comment.I have not seen the photo but I am assuming there is no cuts and bruises etc.Do you need to have these to have a problem?the answer is no.I remember breaking my fingers a few years ago and guess what I had no signs what so ever apart from a great deal of pain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I have seen the photo of KB hand on Facebook! If I were Lynn don't think I would be too impressed at his absence.Bjerre is never very good at Brandon so RR would possibly score more than he would of esp with NKI & Lambert. However Schlein is a big miss as very strong at Coventry. Roynon should score well at reserve on his home track and in good form. Depending on what guest they get, King's Lynn could still get something from this. A lot also depends on if Hans has got his problem sorted.

Bagpuss Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Apart from his 20 points in 2011? Thoughts obviously with Roo but hopefully the boys can put in a good performance for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you had to go all the way back to 2011 to find a good score from him at Brandon kind of proves my point. More recent scores include 8pts from 5 rides, 3 from 4 rides, 2pts from 5 rides Schlein on the other hand has been brilliant at Brandon Edited May 25, 2015 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
