Hodgy Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Peterborough have shown their inexperience here by signing their team as they go along, without a real plan in place of who is wanted and who isn't. Please share the evidence of the no plan you have access to. Building a team must be based on numerous permutations, in addition to conflicting race nights, double up and all teams seeking the bargain average. Plan A can quickly turn to B, C, Z. My guess is they have a plan. Perfect example of a long term issue with averages. A season of good progress often results in decreasing future opportunities and potentially riding yourself out of a job. S Lambert proved a great team man and produced match winning performances and rightly voted rider of the season. Typical speedway rules dictate the fine line between progress v a victim of your own success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Wow! Amazing response from some Peterborough fans. From laughing stock at Rye House to hero at Peterborough. Raised his average and now some people want him dumped before the season starts! Edited December 11, 2015 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Perhaps so, but will Simon even get to where MPT starts this season at? At worse MPT will reach 6.50will never find out if he is dropped.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterborough daz Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Well it looks every bit of a lower mid table team without a number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambpanther Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Personally I think we will already have a deal done with a number 1 and Ged is just hanging on for a big announcement, maybe at Xmas? Ged hasnt made any mistakes yet so cant see him making such a big error. Have faith guys and stop being so quick to criticise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorelsm Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm a Peterborough fan and I have been known to post... I sometimes wonder if some of the posters on here actually go to the Speedway, Simon Lambert was at times a savior and at other times a match winner this year. Admittedly from reserve, where he will undoubtedly find himself again in short order next season. I can't believe Emil won't overtake his average in short order. Having a very strong reserve is evidence of the management following a plan for the new year, which I believe was scuppered by the departure of Ben Barker. Mark Plummer said on twitter that it was going to take time, so, lets just all stay calm and wait and see. I still like the thought of seeing PK having one last blast! If we don't find a suitable No1 and have to go with somebody like Fisher then we'll start the season needing to see big improvements from everybody. Especially, in my opinion MPT, whose gating last year was just dreadful. Replacing him with another one of Emil and Ulrich's mates or somebody like Porsing would hardly be the end of the world. Just be thankful we can look forward to a new season, for gods sake stop all the negativity its Christmas. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolPanther Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I am a Peterborough fan, I too post occasionally, there obviously is a plan,Simon is part of the plan,I think and yes that is only my opinion, he well deserves to be part of the plan. We might be now on plan C or M for all I know,Simon hopefully has featured in all of them, I doubt the team that starts the season is the team that finishes it, good luck to them all and a very Merry Christmas to you all too. P.S,I hope it snows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully those you refer to do not make the decisions at Peterborough and from what we have seen from Ged so far dumping Simon is unlikely to be his plan. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PE7Panther Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) To be fair, I don't think anybody has actually been rubbishing Simon Lambert or saying that he should be dumped per-se. Some people on here are so keen to have snidey little pops that they twist what's actually been said. And then we get stuff along the lines of "oh you Panthers fans are so fickle, you reckoned he was your best rider last season, now you want to dump him before the season even starts". Oh ffs!!! It's cropped up in the context of 'what if' Ged & Co end up being unable to get a suitable No.1 on the 8+ we have available. Then maybe it would need a rethink. In that case it'd mean Ostergaard at No.1 and instead of 'wasting' a couple of points it'd be better to strengthen the team lower down. That'd inevitably mean replacing a rider. It couldn't be Tom Perry, so that leaves either MPT, NBJ, Grondal or Lambert. I don't think anybody would consider losing NBJ or Grondal. So it'd have to be either MPT or Lambert. A lot would depend on which two riders they were thinking of bringing in and what points they had to play with. Before anybody leaps in, I'm not saying this scenario should or will happen. FWIW, I have confidence in Ged & Co and I think we'll end up with a decent No.1. Edited December 11, 2015 by PE7Panther 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 They don't all post on here. Some and now all. It's starting to sound like a season ticket increased sales message. How many does that add up to? I'm not fussed who's in the team these days so take an interest but am quite neutral really. I don't know of a significant Lambert out movement. Quite the opposite.

Raised his average and now some people want him dumped before the season starts! Every club has supporters who don't agree with the majority and Rye House are no different, RH even had a promoter (now gone) who didn't agree with most of the Rye fans on what constituted a good team. On the basis that Simon (deservedly) won the rider of the year award I think you can take it shads that he is generally very popular and most will be delighted to see him back. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony501 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I am surprised about the posts on here speculating that Lambert could be dropped. He had a good season this year and I for one am pleased that he has been signed up again and hopefully will remain with the team all season. However, I do think that Panthers success next season depends quite a lot on securing the services of a high scoring number one. Thinking back to this season one of the most disappointing aspects of our home matches was the often poor gating. MPT was arguably the most consistently poor but all our riders seemed to struggle in some matches. I can't think of a logical explanation for this but we could have picked up a lot more points on occasion had we matched the gating of our opponents on our home track.
