TheScotsman Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Have you got another record in your collection? I think this one is a bit scratched. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Think Ged has messed up again. J. Holder wont average 9.00 for starters. Jack hasn't upped his average in 2 years. Lambert coming back from a serious injury so could take time to settle Hansen cant ride away tracks. Starke has never pulled up any trees around the EOES Ostergaard is on the decline and wont improve Nothing wrong with the reserves but I wont matter because their isn't a reliable leader on and off the track in the Panthers line-up. Cant believe Ged has possibly turned down Harris for a 5.00 rider at reserve when other teams are going weak at reserve. Should not have signed Ostergaard if the plan was to have a 5.00 rider at reserve. It's so easy to pick faults with any team and be pessimistic , take a look around at other teams and you will be able to find a chink here and there, for instance take a look at Glasgow who I rate as an excellent team that's been put together , Bewley coming back from a serious accident and not now being at reserve big jump for the lad and it could dent his confidence Schlein at Ipswich also coming back from serious injury as an example , they are all gambles worth taking the chance with IMO, and I have no problem with plans so far. All teams take a gamble on what riders will do for them and I see Panthers being no different 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then 1 would fail to live up to expectations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 If it's Bomber it's a showcase signing and people will be 😁..if it's Starke and BWD it will be like 😑. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filth Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Number 1 required, however we're not going to get it. BWD didn't exactly tear it uo away from home last season either and lost to quite a few lower averaged reserves in heat 2 away. Starke solid but not spectacular Think you'll find he had never seen any of the tracks as it was his first season in the PL, so can't expect him to be dynamite everywhere when he had never seen the tracks before. Went all season with a 5.8+ average until the last 2 league meetings of the season where he dropped it to 5.02 I believe. He will finish the season with a 6.00+ average and will end at number 2, Lambo will drop to reserve. Guaranteed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Think Ged has messed up again. It's been a management team for years now, the blame is shared equally so as to be non specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) He hasn't messed up, but is putting a competitive team together within a budget with riders that are available on your race day. You may not have a team to watch if it wasn't for him, don't forget that. I'm sure Plymouth would love a ged.

Panthers89 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 People need to be realistic, Harris will want top end dollar, probably similar to his elite league pay packet. Our riders we've signed either are based or well committed to the league, we've got talented riders who can improve, this seasons team is tonnes better than that we started this season with. Be realistic, Ully and Lambert was always going to sign, the work they do the for club outside is superb, so they bring in money, for a promoter that is valuable! Throw in a couple of riders who love the home track in Hansen and Holder and a couple of solid away riders in Starke and BWD and probably one of the better 2.00 riders in the league in Bacon, what else could Ged do with what resources are available! He went for bust tail end of last season as we were in the position of silverware! Quicker people get it into there heads that were not a club with an endless pot of money the better! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Holder will get better will ride for Poole and will improve and will invest in new engines for Poole/Torun which will mean he will get faster and he will get better don't worry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hans fan Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I cant imagine the rumoured 1-7 is what Ged wanted tbh. he could write his 1to7 on a bit of paper and sign it and you still be posting a load of 5h1te 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Maybe the team is just to annoy one or two BSF posters? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 So you are telling me when the rules were announced the rumoured line up is Ged's preferred 1-7? Nobody said that now did they. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 OK private Frazer so we are doomed. What bit of "No team changes will be permitted in either league after July 31." don't you understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crump99 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Yes I do understand and totally agree with it . Hence if riders don't hit the ground running or get there pretty quickly then there can't be any fannying about, as is traditionally Panthers strategy until it's too late, although Rathbone does seem a bit more pro-active than those who preceded him. Would have been better to stick last year though but that's a different story. If we get it wrong this year then those soon to be announced record season ticket sales will be needed at the end of July.
