Kings Lynn Vs Belle Vue : Wed 23rd July


Recommended Posts

As the season moves into the 2nd half, the league has taken shape with certain teams chasing those play-off places. Belle Vue are right there in the mix and will undoubtedly fight to the end.

 

Having started slowly, this team has a lot to offer with a top 5 equal to any in the league. also, with Worrall and Nielsen as draft riders their team are more than capable of beating all the others. Make no mistake the Stars will need to be firing on all cylinders to defeat this strong side.

 

The last time they were at AFA , they only lost by 7 points, even though Zagar and Stead had off nights Which Zagar turns up could decide the result of this close encounter.....

An important match for both teams in deciding who potentially finishes 3rd in the league. The Stars have not yet lost at home and gained 8 points away so are currently +8. The Aces have dropped 5 points at home but picked up 12 away so are +7. A win for the Aces effectively puts them in a better position than the Stars.

 

I think the Stars will do enough to win if Bjerre is back to form but the Aces should pick up a point and I wouldn't be totally surprised if they did manage a win.

With young Max getting a good sighter last night he could causes Lynn a few problems next Wednesday. Came across as a real level headed young man in interview last night. Did I hear Buster say he tried to sign him in the Winter ?

He sure did. But Fricke wanted to sign for Belle Vue :cry:

Are Robet Lambert or Lewis Kerr likely to be back for this meeting?

 

I sincerely hope so. They form an integral part of the team. If they are missing, it will diminish two strong areas of the team construction, areas where Lynn have held their own against the top opposition. Replacing Lambert would be near on impossible, Forgetting his capability, the only riders eligible would be those with a lower than 6.2. Thorsell, Fricke, and Josh are unavailable, leaving only Mikkel Bech. The chances of him being available are slim.......

 

Steve Worrall is probably the most improved draft rider and is the rider we have used to cover Kerr. Losing Lewis would be a tremendous blow, and again difficult to replace.

 

For Lynn Stars, it is important to beat Swindon and Belle Vue, as we fight for those PO places, this is a must win match. For it to be decided by injuries, it would be catastrophic.

 

Fingers crossed for two full teams..

I know a chappie from Oldham, who aint close to anyone at Belle Vue and he told me Zager is on 30 bob and a chicken per point, But I am wondering whether he might be telling me porkies. ;):D

So it's £3000 whatever then is it? To those "who know"?

 

Whatever, I would be peed off if he doesn't score double figs every meeting lol

Oh yes it pisses us off.

 

But to be fair to zagar he as turned down his pay packet when he scores badly. Like recently at leicester

He can't be fairer than that then, has that been widely recognised?

Nope, always said matej or belle Vue should go public with it. It would maybe. Just make cut matej some slack.

 

But he's signed as a number 1 so if he scores under 6 he should rightfully get stick. Just as much as he gets praised for his too performances. After all you can only go on a riders last performance

These teams meeting Home and Away next week, and the outcome could be the difference of securing a play-off place or not. I've always rated BV and enjoy the competition they create. In previous years, even when languishing in the lower regions of the league, they always tried to put on a good show....

When comparing these teams 'like for like', to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses its amazing how close the comparisons are..........

 

Niels -- Zagar

Porsing -- Josh Grajczonek

Milik -- Cookie

Lambert -- Fricke

Bjerre -- Nicholls

 

Kerr -- Worrall

Morris -- Nielsen

 

There's not a lot to choose between them, Each rider is capable of beating his opposite number. So it becomes, doubly important each rider pulls his weight and does his bit. Track preference could be a big factor, as will home track advantage.

If we can come through next week with our home record in tack, that'll do for me.... anything else will be a bonus........

 

They use to say 'Happiness is 40-38', Now its '46-44' That'll do me..........

Will Kerr be fit for next weeks meetings? Any updates on him?

 

I think a lot will depend on which Zagar & Bjerre turn up as both could make a big difference.

Also Cook's EL form is often a lot poorer than his PL one.

I think King's Lynn should be strong enough at home (but I'm hoping the rain behaves and Belle Vue can get the points on Monday)
