g13webb Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I have no regrets for not going, I have always been a man of principal, and by not going showed how I felt regarding half a team scenario. I am pleased the Stars won comfortably, and that all the true team members performed well. So pleasing to see Robert fulfilling everyone hopes with another brilliant maximum. Hope fortunes favour him this year and he can have a injury free season. LK was always a great choice for a reserve, scoring big points, especially against sometimes very mediocre opposition. Ty Proctor also done very well, he is now settling down and scoring points like I thought he would. I remember getting pillared from certain quarters when saying what a good capture he was. Probably fans will now appreciate what a talented rider he was prior to some really bad injuries. The small returns from guests CC and AM, for whatever reasons, merely emphases my belief that guests are never a good idea. You cant expect them to perform like your own riders... Good result for the club, and brilliant form from Lambert , can only be good for those PO intentions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Well done Kings Lynn for their win. Lambert appears to be in imperious form which is good to see. Bellego had an off-night and the Swindon reserves were woefully weak. I think Zach would have done better than Serj but when you build a top-heavy team, it doesn't leave much for reserves. At the start of the season, with the form that Davey showed in the charity shield, I actually thought I had got him wrong and he looked like he was going to have a decent season. Turns out I was right because he has become the binary man since with more zeros than ones! His time in the team must surely now be limited unless he finds that start of the year form.

Sings4Speedway Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 The problem with those calling for Davey's head is who would be picked to replace him? He is one of the form riders in the NL and that is largely the pool of riders you have to play with given the averages. Hume or Mountain would be the other sensible contenders but both ride Thursday nights for Ipswich so virtually rules them out. Would need a double change and re-declare under the limit. Does switching Davey & Musielak for 2 x 4 pointers make any sense? Think the robins will have to stick with Mitchell and help him the best they can 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night, fair play to Kings Lynn, and pleased to see Lambert getting on with the job and proving some of the doubters wrong. Bags of ability, and it's good to see his progression. Off night for Bellego but not worried about him, he's been scoring average up until last night, he'll bounce back on Monday. Hopefully we'll have Zach back also and we can get back to winning ways.

semion Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I hope the fans gave The Brat an indifferent welcome back to Saddlebow. In Good form so far this season. Still Plenty of time for that to change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Batchelor may well have been the best scoring rider for the Stars untill July last season,but he is still a prat and the team are much better off without him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the robins will have to stick with Mitchell and help him the best they can I don’t think anyone is calling for Davey’s head but he is scoring next to nothing so he needs to get back to his season starting form. As for replacing him, I would like to think that when the time is right, Swindon will have some points to play with and sign a 4-5 point rider to replace. But I would like to see him improve and his time must surely be limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 After their brilliant display at Leicester and Poole, I was apprehensive about winning especially with riders missing, so I am please Swindon lost this one. The last thing this sport needs is an all conquering side winning every week, like they did last year. No getting away from the fact they have a strong team and will be there or thereabouts come PO's.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 We can but hope. ...... I remember thinking a few years back when we were 30 points clear , This has got to be our year, Then Bang !!! , Birmingham pulled out to the league losing us loads of points, Then both our all conquering reserves got injured, then finally Kb was out of the remainder with a broken leg, or was it an arm, In the end we were like lambs to the slaughter. Since then we have never recovered... Every year we hope this is the one, and we are still hoping...... Fingers crossed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were top heavy last season with weak reserves, as were Wolves. Do I need to remind you who the teams that contested the p/off final last season. I still think that this top heavy team will be there or there-about come the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was good race, always is when Lambert misses a start. Once he hit the front pretty processional from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
