Morley was the only other rider I could see who might be suitable without being too inexperienced, and the fact that it's a 28 day deal for Lambert suggests that somebody stronger will come in for the latter stages of the season. Looks as if Kasper is the allegedly stronger rider than Simon Lambert. Do you know, on the evidence of his completed ride last week that is probably true. Does not say much for Lambert's "strength" in the meantime though. It could all be brighter IF the replacement for Lewis Kerr is an ambitious one. We will be told in "due course" - 24 hours before the next home match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbiter Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 No disrespect to Lambert but really? The club seems to have no vision and take the easy option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 The 2 questions (1) would Anderson have been replaced had he not got injured ?... Im suggesting no he wouldn't. (2) Will lambert score any less than Anderson ?.... Im suggesting again no he wouldn't. Ok Lambert is what he is and is never going to be more than a Championship League Reserves/2nd string., but that is how far the top the league is diluted when these standard of riders can score points.

Haza Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) If the club are serious about making the play offs Kerr’s replacement needs to be a rabbit out the hat type of signing a inspiration signing that makes othe clubs sit up and take notice . Even more important now with Lambert signing Edited July 12, 2018 by Haza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more important now with Lambert signing You won't get any top quality, rabbit out the hat for under a 6 average. Any replacement will be a run of the mill, 2nd string type rider. The options are a rider from the Championship, a Swede or Pole that don't compete in any top league's or try to convince Huckenbeck. Expectations have to be set low and hope any replacement just punches above their weight. Edited July 12, 2018 by Daniel Smith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that once more Buster just wants to "see this season out" and then Onwards and Upwards in the new re-structured UK speedway league scene 2019 ( whatever it may be ). And he expects the supporters to go along with it - again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Rather than knock the management for not signing a decent replacement for Kerr, let’s see a list from you guys, then we can all make a judgement on your judgment. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that when available, would you find better than Jorgensen and MPT?!? Kerr's average is one of those that can only really be replaced by a bang average rider. The management team really are between a rock and a hard place in this situation. I think continue as they are with R/R and hope there's no more injuries and fixture clashes with Denmark.

Bagpuss Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 R/R will probably work quite well for the rest of this month but once Kerr drops back to reserve a signing will have to be made, if Huckenbeck could be persuaded to do a couple of months that could be a great move. It's very much a less than ideal situation all round though. As Daniel says the management are between a rock and a hard place really.

Bald Bloke Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) I think i'm right in saying that Kasper's ave is 2.55. Not an easy average to find a rider on. Lambert should average that and is only on a 28 day job.If Buster wishes he can re declare later on when NKI's average of 9 will drop to about 7.5..But Lynn are 2 points over the 42.5 limit so when NKI's average does drop Lynn will still be just over, so a big re shuffle would be needed. Not easy to replace riders like MPT and TJ on their averages. Not a nice thing to do to those riders either. One or both might be in Busters plans for next season. Kasper was still on his starting ave of 4 until recently. Then would of been the time to replace him if Buster really wanted a playoff place. A season or 2 in the Champ would do Kasper the world of good. Hes only young (19 ?) and it might be a bit early for him in the Prem. Best wishes and a speedy recovery for both the boys, whatever happens to the team. Anderson would be a good signing on his low ave if it became one big league next season. Who knows what's on Busters mind Edited July 12, 2018 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is all still to chase for if Busters idea is just to see the season out whats the fkn point no wonder the fans are getting peed off with attending KL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hope that's not the case. Seems to happen every year, goes pear shaped due injuries or holder-gate, then we seem to give up cos it's too hard or expensive to sort properly. Or we just continue with poor performing riders too long. We'll never win the league at this rate :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Looking at the numbers, with Stevie Worrall returning to the Aces line-up I wonder if the Stars management are looking to pick up Jason Garrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Buster and Garrity getting on for long. He is ( Garrity ) very talented but crash prone and apparently argumentative and not Robert Lambert's best friend allegedly. Someone on the inside will know. Any Worrall would do for me - is one free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Stars, Garrity is as good as any as a replacement for Kerr. Bite the bullet and get on with it for the sake of the team. Nobody has had any issues with Jason at Scunthorpe and Belle Vue. In fact his character has had the opposite effect with what most fans and rider's comments about him. He may have turned a corner with his personality and become more grounded. I hope the promotion can see past the fact they may not like someone. It's their job to do what's best for the club and that's employing the best for the job. Garrity fits the bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On track, he may well do the business and I would like to believe that the promotion can do as you suggest. I can't think of anyone else scoring more points who they could come up with. I am just commenting on how it has been in the past, which is a well-known story. It would be great for Garrity if he has "turned a corner" and matured. That would make him a formidable rider.

szkocjasid Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Best options to replace Kerr i'd say are: Edward Kennett Claus Vissing, Ulrich Ostergaard or Jason Garrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
