Bjerre is struggling at present as a Championship heat leader riding at 3, his scores have been average at best, he should of started at reserve for Peterborough was thrust into a second string role with the Cook issue, now having struggled in that spot finds himself as third in the averages all on the back of his scores two years ago this can only happen in speedway and its wacky ways with averages

So is the Boro glass half empty or is it half full

The average changes mean a team originally 3 points under now is pretty much bang on the limit if you view it negatively

Or if positive it means a rider performing at about 3 can be replaced by a new 6 pointer as his rolling avearge has jumped due to a quirk in the regulations

Take ya pick......

It's a bit like being booked into the best restaurant in town, only to end up eating cheese on toast instead of lobster ....

Could of, and should of, benefitted from both. Could have had Cook instead of Summers AND should replace underperforming Bjerre once he went 6+

That would of made Buster cough a bit as well,  would of done it if it was his Lynn team,  got to say how is it forum user fans see these little possible team strengthening advantages but experienced speedway management like Colin Pratt dont, unless of course he put it to Buster and got a very short reply ending in off

Sorry what changes can we see but management can’t. Which riders are available to bring in?

If you read Noodles post above you will see but it seems you dont read all the posts. 

As for riders available, it was more of an advantage to possibly replace the same 4+ ave rider with a now 6+ ave rider therefore more points to play with.

You are 0.7 under. Add that to LB's 6.14, so 6.21. Must be someone out there.

Buczkowski, Gomolski, Sundstrom, Anders Thomsen, Kai Huckenback, Rasmus Jensen, Hougaard, Bech 

 

Thorsell or Nicholls

Not happening Flappy. Edward Kennett turned us down which speaks volumes. You may as well forget about mentioning team changes all together tbh. Buster's objective is to make sure the Panthers survive financially whilst making sure the SGB Premiership continues for as long as possible. 

Buster doesn't care about Me, You or any other Panthers fan wanting to see our club win silverware. We're sacrificial lambs to save a sinking ship of a league because Leicester & Somerset wanted nothing to do with it after the 2018 season.

The club needs to survive ....

Considering that the glass was full and people were having good time on Dec 20 compared to now when running at all seems to be the usual plus point and the regular closure threat is used to counteract dissent then I'd say that it's a half measure in a pint glass however you want to cut it ;)

Surely the main objective in speedway at the moment is to make sure your club survives financially.

Yes Buster could break the bank and get the best riders possible to take all silverware you want as a supporter,but then would you have a team next season to support.I know what i would rather.

Many teams overspend and unfortunately not many of those are around anymore.

Ged Rathbone didn't overspend when he signed Chris Harris but it didn't stop Chapman from moving him on to Ipswich that's why they have totally lost my support , he just had to tinker with the team to suit the needs of Ipswich and I don't buy that, the sooner he finds a buyer for Peterborough the better.    I would rather have no speedway than support any team with a connection with Chapman.
