Not Simon, but not putting MPT in who had already 3 heat wins to his name was a big mistake. Bigger than HT14. I'll be honest I missed that one FB. 2 mistakes in the same meeting. We need Dale "on it". Can't afford these mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I don’t believe they were mistakes, they are too blatant for that. It’s almost as if it was agreed that if the scores were close enough then everyone would get at least five rides almost as a warm up / test session ready for the Play Offs. Simon obviously only had three which wouldn’t necessarily tally with that but I can’t think of any other reason why Riss and Jorgensen (and even Robert in heat 15) got their fifth rides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Lambert has had a wonderful season.This loss was not is not just about Lambert's score.Think it is now only Robert's 3rd score in single figures,not bad for someone who started the season on a 7.38 average,and now heads the charts on a 9.49 above the world champion to boot. There always seems to be a rider in our team that has an off night,on this ocassion it was Robert and Thomas and probably even Riss.It does show though how our team seems to pull through matches when not all are firing.I would love one night or more to see all 7 fire together.In the play-offs would be a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With MPT going so well and some of the others struggling, I too had pencilled in changes that didn't happen. Which leads me to believe MPT had problems with himself or his machinery that restricted him from further rides. But no doubt the truth will come out.... I thought changes like these would have been so obvious, so cant believe these were a mistake by Dale. I was hoping he would have enlightened us in his match report, but not a word was said.. He couldn't have been that fussed...……. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Baggy .it was plain to see what was going on and I find it amazing that anyone could think that what he done was a mistake .No one in there right would have done that on purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was an issue with Michael machinery or fitness wise surely it would of made sense for Dale to let the public know the reasoning behind his decision because it was a grave error.

waytogo28 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Tactical secrets like that are the foundation stones of speedway. Telling all and sundry about Michael's fitness or machinery could allow any weakness to be worked on in the next match to the team's disadvantage. I am sure that at Team manager Training School that is lesson 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 From to tone of the Forum most of you want DALE sacked when as usual you have no idea the reason he didn't make this move of replacing Jorgensen He has said nothing and has anyone else in the know.

In the year of coming on the forum the opinions of a few on the forum oftten seem quite detached from the people who actually go to the track! The riders seem to like riding for dale so the odd mistake or not who cares. Id argue there is more chance of the likes of lambert/riss/niels/jorgensen etc wanting to ride for us in future while he is in charge!

Sacked... Is that what you think.. If they were mistakes, i would still say over the season he has done well and seems to have a happy camp. I'd welcome him back next season...

I know that !! You came across in your comment "most of you want Dale sacked" that you thought most Lynn fans wanted Dale sacked... I have not seen one asking or hinting for that.
