Lambert, Cook and Riss, if signed, are far more likely to increase their averages than Doyle, Batch and Rasmus Jensen. I would have kept Palm-Toft rather than Kerr or Jorgensen, but it looks like he’s gone. KL should still be a solid side and could well do an “Ipswich” next year. 34 minutes ago, DC2 said: The KL team finished on 43.97 so that alone suggests that only tweaking is necessary, although the averages can flatter a side that’s winning big at home but doing dismally away, especially if it doesn’t finish the season well.

No chance of that what i do hope is for the Lynn fans is that Lambert comes back stronger and is back to his best in 2020.

foreverblue Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) So he dropped 2 points off his starting average and you want him back! You don't think he is on the way down? I would rather have Ulrich Ostergaard on the same average. Edited December 3, 2019 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have Ulrich Ostergaard on the same average. It’s a pretty safe bet that he will increase his average to some degree next year wherever he rides and he will almost certainly be starting at reserve and there won’t be anyone else with his ability and experience at reserve in the Premiership. Riders have bad years and recover the next season, they aren’t automatically ‘on the way down’. Don't forget how well he did in 2018. If he ends up at Lynn which seems fairly likely then my only issue is that we need fresh faces and not with him or his ability, he will make a pretty decent reserve and then second string and is good value on that figure. You look at some of the reserves named so far and he should have a field day early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another of the many ‘it’s not really a rule but will do it anyway’ rules that that the committee seem to invent or ignore (delete as applicable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 43.97 does flatter the Stars unfortunately. The top 6 riders averaged only 33 away from home. Lynn's engine room were really poor and, and Buster signs 2 of the worst culprits Home Lewis and TJ 14.11 Away 7.78 .. (TJ 7.71 home and 3.78 away. Lewis 6.40 Home and 4.00 away.Some of that at reserve). Wish them well, but it doesn't scream ambition to me. Oh well on the the next one Edited December 3, 2019 by Bald Bloke 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 If Kerr and Proctor are going to swap between no’s 2 and 7 (4 &6 take ya pick ) it always gives Lynn a decent Reserve but on the flip side I can’t see either doing a 2nd string job away from home.

Lewis was often unable to do that job away from home last year at reserve let alone second string. As I’ve said earlier in the thread it’s a mystery as he is pretty good everywhere in the Championship and knows all the Premiership circuits so hopefully he can up his game next season.

Mimmo Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 8 hours ago, semion said: I guess with TJ living in Boston and Lewi Kerr based at Heacham there are no big expensive commutes to pay for. If they are the two signed up so far then I would consider them as low cost signings. Your mention Cook n Lambert as being decent earners, but in fairness they haven’t signed yet. Just a minor point Semion, but Lewi isn't based at Heacham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. Add TJ with his 3.78 away average and it's looking like the same old already. We will suffer away in the engine room dept again by the look of it so far. TJ said himself this week it's easy to set the bike up at the AFA, and he knows he has to do better away, but this will be his 4th season and things ain't improving away from home. I know I keep banging on about it, but if I can see it.... Buster can't have no ambition to win anything...again At home 16 HT wins and 12 second places. Away 2 HT wins and 7 second places. He's a nice bloke, but nice don't win you the league sometimes... Edited December 3, 2019 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
