Bagpuss Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 So another away defeat last night and no point despite only needing a shared heat 15. With only away trips to Belle Vue, Swindon, Wolves and Poole x 2 left it looks highly unlikely that an away win will be achieved this season. Even winning the rest of our home meetings probably wouldn’t be enough to finish top four. Unfortunately I feel that the club has taken far too long to replace Proctor and while Cook was a good signing the injury to Riss came at an awful time and unfortunately Lewis has taken several matches to get going after dropping to reserve. All a bit of a mess really. Get Riss and a proper number seven in and maybe they’ll prove me wrong but it doesn’t look good and the season could effectively be over before the kids break up for the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Are you able to replace proctor with Riss average wise ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Whats the rule about reintroducing a rider who was injured eg Riss? Doesn't he have to replace the rider who replaced him? Or did KL redeclare and will have to redeclare again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Disappointing, we were so happy to be in the mix with only really 3 riders firing, although, of course, every point counts. There was hardly any racing, the Ipswich boys could make no inroads into ours and vice versa. We had 2/4 gates in the last two which didn't help but we chose them in the last heat, wrong!!

Riss was replaced with a rider with a higher average which is why Simon Lambert had to come in so presumably they had to re-declare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castrolargh Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 As far as I'm aware, Ty still has a higher rolling average then Erik so he could be replaced that way , hopefully leaving enough spare to get a half decent No 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been far from impressive this year and, to be honest, I thought he was a weak link in 2018. I think I described his signing as awful eighteen months ago but to be fair he had a good season last year but has been pretty woeful this time round.

Bald Bloke Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 To be fair he had a good 2018, but was a bit of a worry this season on around a 6.70 average. So far this season he has averaged 4.62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way i am looking at it i really hope they will fit both Riss and Douglas in the team for Proctor and S.Lambert.But for this to happen they have to be quite clever,that's as long as i am working with the correct averages from the Lynn and Leicester websites. We only have one league match left in June,if you bring back Riss for Proctor for this then you can't get Douglas in not even in July.You could stay with Proctor for this one or Bring in Douglas for him.If you went for that then on the 1st of July you could bring in Riss for S.Lambert.This is how i worked it out using the respective teams websites for the averages.Although last month one or two averages were slightly different to that of the BSPA website. As you can see i want Douglas in,but if they did get Riss in straight away there would definitely be better alternatives to Lambert at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Proctor notched just 3 points for Sheffield last night at Scunthorpe. Don’t see where it’s going for him these days. Ryan Douglas notched 8 from 3 completed rides in the same meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my sums are correct using the Rolling Averages GSA figures on BSPA website you can't fit Riss and Douglas in for Proctor and S Lambert. In June you have 0.84 + 6.29 + 3.00 = 10.13 ( 5.83 + 4.65 = 10.48). In July you will have 1.03 + 5.74 + 3.34 = 10.11 (5.83 + 4.96 = 10.79) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I don't like this chopping and changing. We use to have a team that lasted the season, no we didn't win anything , but it was our team we could relate with. I always frown at other clubs who chopped and changed to get the upper hand and thought it was wrong they could do that. But it now appears we are doing the same thing. Its little wonder the fans are staying away, How can you have a connection with a team when it changes every month.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one area that really boils my pi$$ The gerrymandering around team changes linked to timing of average changes IMO if a change is made then the rolling average for the rider/s being replaced (and indeed coming in) should be updated at the date of the switch rather than use the out of date (albeit only by a few meetings) last months rolling average Too many times teams make changes at the end of a month to be within the limit only to be a point or two over come the 1st of the month without even riding another meeting Edited June 23, 2019 by dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
