Steve Shovlar Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Fair play for commenting and putting forward your thoughts on your predictions, I have to say I totally disagree with both of them, but only time will tell who is right! Also disagree with your predicted winners, as their middle order looks weak on paper (Holder, whom I suspect is there mostly because of his name and Kurtz who really HAS to improve this season) and with arguably the most inconsistant (and dare I say, unreliable!) number one in the league, then I think Poole will be fighting for 3rd, 4th or 5th place I reckon. KK isn't inconsistent. He will have an average way above 9 this season. Pretty rock solid for Poole and I wouldn't at all be suprised if he is in the top three of the averages this year. He hates Monmore but every rider has a track they struggle at .Holder hardly set the world alight at Monmore either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he is consistent 5 and 7 I suppose!!! Edited March 31, 2017 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acef Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I accept it's my more out there call but there's a few decent riders in the Leicester side. I think it's under rated by a few Holders average will lose the bet part of 2 points, Batch has lost it, Porsing has never done anything to impress me, Rose has been around 3 seasons now and has managed to ride about a dozen meetings outnif reserve in the PL and the EL combined so I'm not convinced by him, Huckenbeck had two good meetings last year and they have as good as a blank at number 7. Robert Lambert is a great signing but he can't win things on his own. Excellent summary. Couldn't have said it better. I really don't see the hype around kings Lynn. Very weak middle order, a blank at reserve and relying on a kid as your 2nd heat leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I think you can see why people fancy Lynn and why people don't.....potentially the improvement in Lambert, Batchelor and Huckenbeck could make us serious challengers but it could also be argued that if that doesn't happen then Rose and Porsing are potentially weaker second strings than other fancied teams. As for Josh, I think he may surprise one or two people especially at home but anything he scores will be a bonus. Quite happy to be under the radar though as I don't think the pressure of 2014 did anybody any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I think if Holder and Lambert ,in winning the first major trophy, and Batch in the form he is showing, keep it up then Lynn will be hot favourites. Rose and Porsing are slightly weak but when you consider the Lynn top 3 is a lot better than any other team then that negates that affect. Also in Huchenbeck they have potentially the strongest reserve in the league. Kings Lynn or Belle Vue for me.............the only problem with Belle Vue is the lack of home advantage as everyone loves the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very early days but one week later and I totally stand by my pre season words about Lynn and Poole. As I said with a totally inconsistant number 1, a youngster only there (at the moment) because of his surname & out of his depth right now ( to be fair he should get better with more experience) and another Aussie youngster who, at home, can be quite good but away mostly goes "missing"....then Poole will only be fighting for a play off place this season. And do any of you Lynn doubters want to reconsider too?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'll stick to Poole as I did from the start.BV look good but its so early and I think Ford will do all he can to get Poole there.Thats the difference for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 And do any of you Lynn doubters want to reconsider too?!!Based on 1 meeting against a piss poor Somerset teams who lost at Lynn with 2 of their top 3 managing a whole point between them. I'd calm down the excitement just now after a single meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Indeed. Rye home and away next weekend will give us a much better idea of Lynn's credentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Indeed. Rye home and away next weekend will give us a much better idea of Lynn's credentials. Plus against Belle Vue the following week. All will give a much clearer picture of their capability.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 After seeing Aces and Pirates at Swindon little to choose between them, although Klindt is best reserve in league, so will go for Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 And do any of you Lynn doubters want to reconsider too?!! Ouch! Holders averaging 6 and Lynn have lost at home already. Do those who thought Lynn were any good want to reconsider yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Ouch! Holders averaging 6 and Lynn have lost at home already. Do those who thought Lynn were any good want to reconsider yet? I thought they would make the playoffs but am now reconsidering. Holder going through the motins, Batchelor the same as always, poor reserves, perhaps not that good. Can't see past Poole and Belle Vue at this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Seems Freddie is the only top line rider performing well at the moment. Looks like Poole, Kings Lynn and Swindon are trying to reduce their number ones average to buy more points in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 If you ignore Morris, Kurtz, Cook and Bjerre. Agree.Kenny let me down tonight (*hit)but still got 6 from 4.All 4 are going really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acef Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 If you were to keep all teams as they are now, then it's a Poole/BV final. But of course it never stays the same and teams will strengthen. I can see pretty much every other team making changes. If you ignore Morris, Kurtz, Cook and Bjerre. Don't let facts get in the way of a biased viewpoint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
