He is an overated , overweight, has been , who's best years are gone. One reason.....his four point something average. Which he would increase over a whole season and starting at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I believe he could average 5.5 - 6 if he starts at reserve and has an injury free season. Never going to be a heat leader or world beater any more but it's certainly not beyond him to be a half decent second string. We saw enough glimpses of that last year in between the many poor rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question is how much of the old TJH is left. Some noticed his his weight had gone up which also questions his real motivation. His form in both SWE 1st & 2nd Div was not that great or when he rode Poland so it comes down to is he now a journeyman on the way down or can he hold his own in our weaker Prem in 2018. The cost of possibly flying the guy in and out 2 days per week with the SWE League on a Tuesday & UK on MON/WED & some Thur could be prohibitive for a guy who could be either a bit up on his current GSA/maybe stand still as he sure didn't do himself any favours last season, or even down as you just don't know which way he is going, is a big risk for Chapman imo. Especially after last seasons problems what he doesnt need is an expensive liability/passenger with risks attached. That's the big risk for me. If you had the TJH who rode for Poole some years ago would be a no brainer as they guy was one of the most exciting riders to see on track. Its hard to understand that a guy who was also riding in SGP has fallen so far, yet he has only just turned 29 end of Nov. He rode in 18 SGP's but that seems like an age ago.

Didn't he ride some meetings at reserve this season and his average is still shocking? Probably one of the most overrated riders around.

Bagpuss Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Not for Lynn he didn't, his meetings were at number five. I don't think I'm overrating him, just saying that he should be capable of averaging what the likes of Bates, Ellis, Robson, Riss, Garrity, J Holder, Palm Toft, Barker and Sedgemen did last year.

Apologies, I thought he had dropped down. It's more other's over the years that have hyped him and I've never really seen anything to justify that hype. But you have a fair point that he SHOULD be more than capable of achieving that standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 He promised much when he was younger and of course made it into the GP's but has never got anywhere near the level his potential suggested he might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its puts a different angle on it, but had he wanted to ride this wouldn't have stopped him. 18 hours ago, Trees said: If you have ordered Fans Forum tickets from the club, they are being sent out from Tuesday 19th onwards ..... I have no problem with the tickets being sent out that late, but expected some form of confirmation before then. I have ordered 2 tickets for people who will have to travel down and have day off work. Have they to wait until the tickets arrive before booking that day off work?? Having ordered them early, I feel a confirmation Email would have been so easily arranged. 11 hours ago, Bagpuss said: I believe he could average 5.5 - 6 if he starts at reserve and has an injury free season.

I too believe THJ will be more than capable of attaining a decent average. They say form is temporary, where ability is forever. and few can doubt his ability. Most of his bad scores could be attributed to poor machinery, and using borrowed equipment , but I sure with a settled team, and decent bike he will more than hold his own..... Apparently he is a wonderful rider to have in the pits and always wanting to help and encourage others.... Something a close team desperately needs........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a tough ask for him to get near that but guess he has something about him. I can see a couple of possible connections to see why he's ended up with us. He used to be at Esbjerg who's team manager is Tom P. Madsen. Also it's Niels' Danish side. Hopefully that means that Niels recommended him and will be back to look mentor him.

semion Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Reading that Lynn are in discussion with Lambert about his plans for next season. Does this mean they had no idea of his plans not to ride before his public announcement ? So much for a more professional balance to the club going forward when you didn't have an idea that your star attraction wasn't coming back. Same old, same old 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same old, same old Could equally have been they were in negotiation and Lambert wanted more than was offered so thought his announcement would add a bit of pressure. i have no idea but being a Libran I like to find two sides to everything to to be honest I didn't consider Lambert's announcement to be very professional but it takes all sorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) My interpretation was that the club and rider had discussed a team place but couldn't agree terms. I can't imagine that they hadn't spoken.Lambert uses social media to let it be known he may not ride in the UK and KL realise they need to up their offer if they want him and decide to get back in touch. Sorry Star Lady you hadn't posted when I typed my post but great minds and all that. Edited December 18, 2017 by Aces51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
