Newcastle 2017


Recommended Posts

a would, not wanting to offend anybody, but he's like speedways equivalent to 'mr. bump',,, and now we've only got 1 ambulance ;)

I know, I feel so bad for him :( But he is pretty inspiring the way he keeps picking himself back up after all of his previous injuries and keeps going :t: He'd be nice on a 3 point average :P

 

 

I hope Ludde stays.

 

Er...that's about it, really.

Me too, but only Ludvig?

I personally think the points limit will be reduced to 40 points am happy for all them to be back next season but who i would say ludvig,worrall,rose& kus but at the end of the day it will be the numbers game that wins.

Well, it depends on the points limit I suppose. If you're old enough to remember Robert "the mobile chicane"* Eriksson, he couldn't pass for toffee but held down a 9 pt average and gave real confidence we could win heat 1, home or away. I like to think the Magic Man could do that for us and hope he is here next year.

 

Other than that, assuming RL is on his way, and allowing for whatever the points limit is, I'd like to think we could keep everyone except the no. 7 and bring in a rider to make up the unused part of the points limit. Kyle Newman or David Bellego, day. That would involve not retaining Lewis Rose- I know that is not a popular view on here but on 3 seasons he has only rarely looked like establishing hiring he body of the team and I would give the BCB a go.

 

I've nothing at all against Danny P. and his effort is always 100%, but let's try someone else.

Final 'attempt' before the final averages

1. Steve Worrall 8.51
2. Lewis Rose 5.86
3. Lewis Kerr 6.16
4. Ludvig Lindgren 7.65
5. Kyle Newman 6.31
6. Ashley Morris 4.83
7. Connor Mountain 3.00

 

Just as strong as this year's team I think, where we miss out on Lambert here, we make up with a decent number 7, plus I don't think Kyle Newman is a million miles away from Lambert anyway, same goes for Kerr with Kus (On a side note, does anyone have an update of Kus after his fall last night? :( I hope he's ok)

 

Also last night just makes me want to see Rene in the team even more, not only was he fun to watch, did anyone notice how he was the first one out helping Glasgow AND Newcastle riders after their falls, top man Rene :t: Great person, great rider

As much as I like Kyle Newman he is 2 million miles away from Lambert. Best British 18 year old I have seen ride speedway and been watching for nearly 40 years

No no no, I'm not comparing the two from an ability point of view necessarily, Lambert is by far a better rider and prospect compared to Kyle, but point scoring wise AND reliability wise (Meaning that he won't miss as many meetings due to EL commitments) And also the fact that his average is 2.5 points lower than Robert I think that Kyle is not far away from as good as an OPTION for the team as Lambert, I dunno if that makes sense? I do agree with you both when you say that Lambert is a superior rider, ability wise and I'm sorry if I made it sound any different

 

Edit: The only reason I compared the two in the first place is that Kyle would be kinda the replacement for Robert in that team I just threw out there

 

The same goes for Kerr and Kus comparison, I think that Kus is a better rider, but all of the above applies, apart from the EL commitment part

At 18 years old I would say yes... Not saying he will be at 20/21 though

Crump was a class act as a 16 year old and didn't miss any matches with minor injuries or meetings he couldn't arsed to attend , in one of his grand prix rides having put his shoulder out of joint he had it pulled back into place before going out for his next heat. Tough as nails was Crumpy and his father wasn't too bad either.

What's missing matches with minor injuries or not been arsed to attend got to do with how good he is??.. Name me one meeting he has missed for Newcastle this season with a minor injury or couldn't be arsed to attend?

Your correct he hasn't missed any this year with Newcastle but he did the year before with Peterborough which proves he has learn't something this year People will judge him not only on his track craft but how dedicated he is to those who support him and pay to watch him.
