Sheffield 2018

[Pinny]

There maybe more to it than Bjerres form but seems silly at this stage of the season.

[StevePark]

The thinking behind it might well be that they aren't going to get into the play-offs, so might as well take a look at the Dane, as they've got nothing to lose if it doesn't work out.

sorry but can't agree on that one.conner mountain in at reserve yes good move  but kasper for lasse at this stage daft really.he may score well for the last couple of home meetings but what if he doesn't score at all.unless the rest of the team perform we could be looking potentially at a couple more home losses and an away one.

Kasper Andersen and Mountain for Bjerre and Lawlor? Jesus christ.

Bjerres probably their best home rider, why the hell would they get rid of him and replace him with Andersen who will struggle to average 4.50?! Madness.

they seem to of lost the plot at Sheffield!

CREDIBILITY , thats what they will lose, amongst all the riders . i know its not much. lets hope for sheff fans they can assemble a decent side like they did this year and on the last weekend , sack a few .enjoy that spoon , no bucks fizz , but plenty of soup and something to stir it with .

Isn't it the cut-off this weekend? Tell Bjerre he's dropped after riding last night, therefore making him essentially unemployable? Nice.

Yes. Cut off is essentially midnight tonight. Any redeclarations need to be submitted today in order  to be ratifed by 15th August, so essentially Sheffield have stuffed Bjerre in the same way Kings Lynn did to Holder last year.

Andersen i  just dont see anything in him there is  not that much difference in the league's now and  also he knows none of the Championship  tracks.To replace Bjerre is madness i will be amazed if Andersen averages 5.50.

You have to wonder if this redeclaration can be considered to be 'in the best interests of the sport'? 

[OdsalBoy]

I really do not know what to make of all this. I can't see Kasper Andersen scoring more at home than what Bjerre would ? Mountain is OK, did well in the TOP GUN but apart from that i just do not know what to make of all this. Seems as if something behind the scenes has gone off and theres definitely more to the Bjerre saga i reckon.

Can anyone enlighten me to some of Andersens scores of late ?

not too bothered really what he scores.speedway in general has gone off the rails with rider changes galore.will i be ar..ed next season?who knows.

[wtf]

Like as if this has got anything to do with improving the team by swapping Bjerre for Anderson. Mountain for Lawlor yes and improvement, but does anyone really think this is about anything other than getting rid of Bjerre. Knowing everyone involved pretty well I would imagine Lasse has spoken out of turn once too often

Very, Very poor around King's Lynn. Quite frankly he has looked a liability ( and very unsteady ). In his final ride before he was injured at KL he looked sharper and more on the pace. But around Sheffield, he will need to step up a level ( or two ). Just can't see it benefitting anyone except him. Unless he can really find his feet ready for next year. No way on earth can he currently be compared to Bjerre.

Lasse gets sacked at Sheffield and Kenneth got sacked earlier at Leicester  . Same promoters involved , I wonder if there is a connection here. Other than that I can't see why they would want to sack one of there most consistant  home riders . It just doesn't add up'

no.2 plus 2 now equals 5 in speedway.totally bonkers

[The Third Man]

oh well, it seems this season has already ended, cant see very good crowds for the last two home meeting when it looks like we could lose them both

when was the last time we have lost 5 in a row at home?

And very poor treatment of a rider, who it looks like cant get another club this season, one of the riders who played a large part in winning the league and pairs last season

He is young and raw, we saw bits and pieces of potential earlier in the season but also races where he looked out if his depth. His gating wasn't great either so I think riding in the top five of a CL team will be tough for him but I would expect him to get better with each meeting and score some points. As has been said though certainly not near the level of Bjerre.

These are his stats from Lynn's website (matches, rides, points, bonus, GSA,  ave, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ret, except)

Roughly around 3 rides per meeting at reserve and 0 heat wins. Let's be honest if Simon Lambert replaced Bjerre it'd be a joke, should be no different because he's a young Dane. Rubbish is rubbish.

There has to be an underlying reason that Sheffield promotion are not willing to go into details. which might embarrass one or both parties.

Roll on the "Sheffield 2019" thread :-)

The difference is that Simon Lambert has been around for fourteen years and has reached his level, Kasper is nineteen and in theory could be a lot better than he is now. He may not be but at this stage nobody knows. Certainly a big ask for him to fill Bjerre's shoes right now though.
