Just another blaring example of inconsideration to the Stars dwindling supporters. They have,in recent times always named their team around Christmas time or early in the new year.No inconsideration at all.You say people don't give a damn about speedway at this time of year,yet there is still plenty of postings going on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) You have to think it’s going to be very much as you were at Lynn next season. Not one of thier Top of the League side are being mentioned in dispatches as going elsewhere. Whats not to like? Lambert is one step away from being World Class. Toft, TJ and Riss have improvement written all over them, albeit to different degrees. Hopefully no Return for Lambo Rambo at 7. Leta not forget the dickings we were handing out to Saddlebow at times last season. Glass half full here ( for now) Edited December 14, 2018 by semion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 It worries me when i see the signings that other clubs are making. Peterborough have a good top 3 , Poole are sure to be strong again, I fear the Stars are going to end up with whoever other clubs don't want. Apart from R Lambert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that ends up to be the team, there would be a few things that would concern me if i'm honest. 1st up is no back up for Lambo. I know NKI only averaged 7 and a bit, but there where many times he had a good heats 13 and 15 with Rob. That would be gone. Then there is Lewis Kerr. He has had some bad knocks and who knows how both his body and mind will be like when he comes back. I wish him well, but a concern for me on his ave. Lewis averaged 7.68 from his 4 home meetings and only 3.37 from his 7 aways. TJ has struggled away from home. From his 2018 season he averaged 7.53 from his 11 home meetings, but a poor 4.68 from 13 away meetings. You can't afford that again next season with no real back up for our No.1 thrown in.. Kasper will still be on his assessed 4.0 He needs to reach that 4 point average. In his 7 meetings in 2018 he averaged 2.55. Consisted of 2.0 from 3 home meetings and 2.86 from 4 away. I know he did ok in his short spell with Sheffield, but he would need to average his assessed 4 point ave. I hope he will get close. I'm not on a downer, but after last season i'm hoping the team will be built to win the league . I can't see it getting better with the riders available Will have some close ones at home, including some losses and can't see that team getting anywhere near last seasons away results. If the Stars want to build on 2018 they ain't going to with that team sadly imho Edited December 14, 2018 by Bald Bloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently my feelings for the club has waned somewhat, but I still have a high regard for the supporters and the way they are treated. The announcement of this years team is of little concern. The belief I carried for so long has been drained from me. But back to the announcement of riders, just about every team in the league has given their supporters something to get enthused about, with the exception of Lynn. The negatives going round are mindful, it would be of the minimal inconvenience to have given a couple of names out. but it would have excited the majority of supporters, having some comfort of signed up riders.

Trees Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I so much preferred the whole team announcement/fans forum myself but of course the drip feed announcements are better media wise, let's show some patience and look forward to them, it's a human virtue they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Greaves and will better his starting average and much prefer that Iversen is there as backup to Lambert. I do think Palm-Toft has been remembered more for his massive score at reserve rather than for his performances through the season in the top 5. That's where he'd be on his current average. I don't think he's good enough. Kasper can only be better than last year so worth the risk on a 4.00. Without Iversen or another as heatleader backup the team has no strength in depth as most of the team will only match or lower their current averages.
