Flappy Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 We also had to carry Holob Halsey and Hall, who in my opinion gave us the worst bottom end strength in the league. I'm not saying go top heavy, we are being let let down by carrying two riders, one who is on a 5 average and currently averages about 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Panthers would be hard pushed to find a replacement who could do a better job on a 5.26 average . Best to give Lambert the chance to get his form back , remember this team was built to be strong at home and when Simon is on form he's definitely worth his place around the Showground and the same applies to Hansen .

Even if like tonight it's costing us points? Only the top 4 make the play offs and he's going backwards. Bacon too really is struggling too Remember changes can't be made after may this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree there's no need to panic just yet but if he doesn't show any sign of improvement in the next 3 home meetings there gonna have to make a decision on him , I can remember when hougaard was riding poop for us , everyone was calling for his head they stuck by him and he turned it around ..We'll just have to hope lambert can , else we're looking at riders like boxhall, huckenbeck, kasper lykee ,Robert mear i'd be more worried about bacon myself Edited April 20, 2017 by hans fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Would Joe Jacobs get a brit reduction? We'd have 5.32 to play with as we started the season under the limit. Huckenbeck not a bad shout either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 What do you mean changes can't be made after May? Haven't PL clubs just made some changes? I was just thinking about Grondal? What does everybody think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiltonpanther Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 James Shanes would be a better bet than Tom Bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappy Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Any have decent brit 3 pointers out there? It'd mean replacing Lambert with someone like Grondal, Etheridge etc though and losing BWD from reserve. Could Joe Jacobs get a reduction at all?

mudflaps Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I feel we have to stick with Lambert and Bacon and hope they improve.. So long as we keep winning at fortress showground and it looks like we are heading towards the play offs - I'd keep them for at least the next couple of months... give em a honest chance.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway28 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 From what I've seen on Bacon this year, albeit only twice it just doesn't look to me like the Showground suits him. However, as been mentioned it's difficult to find a suitable replacement. I thought Nathan Greaves looked good in the Under 21's, I think he'd be worth a go.

No thanks , he's been around long enough, to have improved a lot more , i'd rather stick with Tom Bacon and give him the chance. Most of the NO;7's in the championship are having a tough baptism of fire and IMO we should stick with him all season regardless if he is struggling, if the lads showing the commitment and is eager to impress then lets give him a bit of confidence and give him that chance with management and riders helping him with advice , who knows it might just work for him.

I don't dispute that he's giving it his best but I just don't think he'll cut it at Peterborough. Different tracks would suit him better. He wasn't anywhere near to Mountain or Hume last week and although they're both doing ok, they're not setting the world alight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Bacon needs to find the confidence to move away from the relative safety of the inside, a different approach to using the track could be a changer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
