There is still a market for programmes but an app alongside is long overdue. There is an App , it’s called total speedway.

Given a reasonable amount of luck with injuries, that team has the look of potential champions IMHO. You will be battling it out with Ipswich for the wooden spoon IMHO .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he said himself, he needs to improve away, but i'm sure he can up his 6.08 average. Eric Riss is for me THE one to watch ( now that Robert has already climbed to the Top fo the Averages and proved he is a Star's legend at a relatively young age ) Riss is capable of doing almost as much as Robert IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 So how should we line up? My preference would be 1 Lambert 2 Kerr 3 Jorgensen 4 Riss 5 Proctor 6 Andersen 7 Palm Toft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Riss at 5 for me. Heat 13 and all that. Want to see Tofty up at 2 ASAP. Lambert and him will be a good pairing there. Procter at 3 TJH at 4 I seem to recall a few months back there was mention of Richard Knight being involved again. Or did I just dream that ?

semion Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Haza, weak compared to other seasons or weak compared to other teams make-up for this season ? As for losing Lambert, could the same argument not be for Doyle at Swindon, Harris at Ippo, Cook at Boro, Kurtz at Poole Fricke at BV ?

Haza Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Just now, semion said: Haza, weak compared to other seasons or weak compared to other teams make-up for this season ? Weak compared to other seasons definitely even last season - as for this season possibly Pboro are the stand out side - guess it’s the continuation of watering down the strength of the league year on year - The Stars league winning side of 2009 at there prime not now obviously would give this team of 2019 a good meeting and that was a second league side that’s how much we’ve watered the product down .

semion Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 For me the Lynn side looks ‘OK’. But there are things that we should consider factoring in. I can see improvement from Lambert ( a bit). Riss ( a lot) Palm Toft (some) THJ( last season early form). Anderson ( could be a point added there) Proctor, for me, he is where he is now. Kerr a very big one of these...? He will either add or I think he will be gone and replaced. The team will be no ones favourites ( as last season). However isn’t that a good feeling when ya team over achieves from where you set the bar? Only have to look down the Road (Carrot) and see what Daniel Farke in his trendy Parka has done. People are loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 The argument about what we would do without Lambert is a valid one as he’d be impossible to cover but any rider can get get injured at any time so when predicting team strengths I think you have to disregard injuries and just deal with them when they happen. I expect this team to be better than the sum of its parts like last year but it’s sucfess of course depends on improvement, if somebody can step up to second heat leader effectively and Kasper has a breakthrough season for example we could be a match for anyone, if not it could be a season of struggle. But I’m expecting something in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I believe the Stars scored 16 points away from home in 2018, best in the league. I will be surprised if they score any away with that team, sadly. If you take the away points off of last seasons total, Lynn wouldn't of even made the play offs. It's a worry... NKI or someone of his quality is going to cost us big time, if no changes are made along the way. Take a look at last seasons away averages.. I want them to win the league as much as anyone else, but after last season Buster said Lynn were going all out to win it this season. It don't look like it to me. If you look at Busters 3 teams on paper, it looks like Peterborough are his " beloved team" so to speak. Frustrating from where i'm sitting.. Robert 8.27 NKI 7.62 Ty 5.80 Erik 5.47 TJ 4.68 MPT 5.22 Lewis 3.87 Kasper 2.86 I don't like being negative, but after last season I was expecting more. Nothing against any of the 7 riders at all, but not as a 1-7 .I will be along to the AFA this season, but as before will pick and choose my meetings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
