Kings Lynn 2019

[Haza]

Not much comment on the AGM on this thread . Has to be good to have derby meetings again with Ipswich and Pboro moving up but at what expense to the Stars ? 

[Daniel Smith]

Might surprise a few but Keith Chapman gets a from me.

See how it pans out in 2019 but it's an absolute must he makes changes to the AFA track for next year. King's Lynn deserves a better race track to watch actual racing rather than a gating competition.

R Lambert, Iversen, Proctor... Whats left team building wise for Stars?

Throw Erik Riss into that as well.

Depends. Good at Saddlebow & with Lambert, certainly not at 3 & 4 with Proctor.

Iversen I'm sure will return to the Panthers which will be about right if we keep Robert.

In 2019, how would you love to see this team? These averages are adjusted for rider's that came through the NL with 2.5% removed from their 2018 averages.

1. J.Doyle 9.57

2. L.Kerr 5.48

3. E.Riss 6.08 

4. J.Auty 4.60

5. R.Lambert 9.08

6. K.Andersen 4.00

7. S.Nielsen 3.58

Ave: 42.39

Can’t see Buster shelling out for both Doyle and Lambert, at least not out of one Team’s budget.

Two riders I could fancy seeing at Lynn are Charles Wright and Jake Allen.  Could do the 3rd heat leader and 2nd string roles

Doyle and Nielsen likely to be Swindon bound.

What average would Nicki P come in on?Wants a new challenge doesn't he

8:00 I'd guess.

Wouldn't be for me on an 8 at his age, and stage of career. To expensive  probably too.

Would be ok in heats 13 and 15, but I would worry about the engine room and the reserves tbh.

So what average do you believe Pedersen would be?

His 10.46 average with Eastbourne in 2007 cannot surely be valid!

As mentioned it could be an 8, who knows. But I can't see it being lower than 8, and I wouldn't want him on an 8 myself .

[Daniel Smith]

More solid throughout but I'm struggling to find an outstanding 2ns heatleader with rider's already expected to be elsewhere. I'm certain Ellis will be Swindon or Poole on his average too.

With strength in depth the key Lambert might just be to costly unless you find 2 rider's with an 8+ average. 

1. R.Lambert 9.08

2. L.Kerr 5.48

3. A.Ellis 6.23

4. E.Riss 6.08

5. T.Proctor 6.57

6. P.Starke 4.95

7. K.Andersen 4.00

Ave: 42.39

[poolebolton]

 

1. Lambert= 9.08

2. Riss= 6.08 

3. Bjerre= 7.16 

4. THJ= 4.64 

5 NKI= 7.36 

6 Jye Etheridge = 4.15 

7. Daniel Kaczmarek= 4.00   (announced that he intends to ride in the Prem) 

42.47

As much as I'd love to see Doyle and Lambert together, that would leave us far too weak elsewhere. I'd like us to try and build the team in the same way as we did last season.

A strong number 1, a decent number 5 to provide support in heats 13 & 15, two dependable solid middle order (5.5 to 6.5 types) and a strong reserve. Lambert looks nailed on. Certainly more positive than things were this time last season with him.

Lambert and Iversen would be a decent start though I wonder if Niels might head back to Peterborough. Don't think he looked confident at the AFA at all last season.

Don't think many would be upset to see any of Proctor, Jorgensen, Palm Toft or Riss back but unlikely we'd be able to fit all in. Our final team average was 44.24 so we've got to lose 1.74 somewhere down the line. I imagine of the 4, Proctor would be most vulnerable as he has the highest average.

Not done the maths, but with a British reduction of 2.5% for Lambert and Kerr, would the following fit?

Lambert
Palm Toft
Riss
Jorgensen
Iversen
Kerr
Whatever is left?

EDIT - In answer to my own question - NO

That 6 come to 39.92 by my quick calculations so not enough for a 3.00 pointer at the bottom.

Jonasson won't do a full season in the UK, surely.

Lebedevs might, he's back at Lokomotiv Daugavpils in the Polish Nice League 1 and after winning the SEC in 2017 had a poor season last year.  No idea what his average would be.

AJ as in lakeside hammer. I doubt he comes back. He is doing 2 leagues in Sweden and Lublin om Poland. 

Lebedevs might just be too busy trying to do SGP qualifiers etc. He still has Sweden as well. But surely a 7 would  be the highest he could come in on.

I would take him on that,out of the Gp's but would still have plenty to offer.Would scare the living daylights out of some of the riders here.Didn't he say he wanted a new challenge and didn't he finish top or very near top of the Polish averages.If that was the case he definitely isn't done yet.
