Daniel Smith Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Yes, you can look into someone having an off night to much but the context of last night does have concern. We were leading the meeting with 3 heats remaining. Both Robert and Niels were in 2 of those remaining heats. Lambert came last in very important heats, not winning a single race all night. The kid (and he still is one) has been in SENSATIONAL form in 2018, my concern is he may have reached the point of 'burn out'. Who could blame him if he is running empty, the busiest season he's ever had. For me it's about context and to run lasts in the 2 most important heats of the meeting is plenty to worry about. Also though, on the plus side, maybe Iversen is about to click and ready to cover any of Lambert's poor form. Hopefully the whole team has enough rest time between now and the Play-Offs, then we go again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Agree about burn out, and it’s definitely a concern with Robert. I’m sure he’d be struggling more without the holiday he had when he missed the Australia meeting in Glasgow.

John Scrutton Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 If you read what Dale had to say in the report today He said that Robert was having Machine/Frame trouble all night, that was the reason And this can happen to anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney the robin Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Bagpuss said: I can see your point but it’s a two legged tie so IF we go through then others have stepped up and covered his off night, job done. Also worth pointing out that he scored 14 last time at Swindon and we didn’t score 40. It’s not about individuals for me, it’s a team effort and a little disrespectful to the others to put too much emphasis on Robert’s scores. Robert has done more than anough this year he has been outstanding, all the Lynn fans know he is still on the upward curve and improving.Great to think that Robert can have a blip and the other riders step up to the plate to compensate.

He said that when Kings Lynn got stuffed by Somerset the other day. How long does it take to fix Machine/Frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he been in his 40's then probably so. I am in no doubt it was just one of those nights and nothing to worry about. Come next week he'll be back to normal flying round the track, leaving everyone in his wake... No Worries !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Doesn’t matter how young somebody is, the human body can only do so much racing, travelling, training and only miss so much sleep before performance is compromised. We’ve seen it many times over the years in many sports not just speedway which is why many sportspeople’s schedules have been carefully managed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all should want Robert Lambert to do well, he is a fantastic young British rider who needs our support. Next Monday he will be flying round Saddlebow Road and leaving everyone in his wake.

I think howler might make it seem worse than it was... Simon had to ride as it was his 3rd ride. Dale could of put MPT in for TJ. In TJ's ride before, he scored came 2nd, with MPT 3rd. I know they are team mates and MPT might well of been able to pass him. I've seen worse, but it was a mistake that probably cost Lynn points Edited September 11, 2018 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 He should have replaced Jorgensen. Toft had scored double figures while Jorgensen had struggled. A no brainer swap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves to take things easy after such a busy season. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Scrutton Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 It seems to me that its Poole supporters are getting there ( Knickers in a twist) Lynn will thrash Swindon on the second leg Unless all 7 have trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the slightest why should we care? Just pointing out mistakes that Dale made. I said previously it wouldn't matter as Kings Lynn would win their home leg easily.

John Scrutton Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Just as long as Dale won't make the same mistake against `Poole in the play/off final. But then again they won't be there. Edited September 11, 2018 by John Scrutton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
