No they won’t, they’ve all had a few years now and it’s the same rubbish year after year.

Piss poor team from one of the worst management teams in speedway yet again 

Apart from 2018 when we had by far the best away record in the league and finished clear top? Lambert, Jorgensen, Proctor and Riss were all in that team. 

By all means criticise them for a dreadful 2019 but don’t gloss over the year before that. 

And yes I get people’s frustration, many of us wanted a clear out with fresh faces and I appreciate and agree with that. But don’t rewrite history.

I would hardly say the reason we finished top in 2018 are the first four signings we’ve made this year.

 

the team is piss poor, it was this year, will be next year.

Kerr certainly wasn’t because he wasn’t part of the team but to say that Proctor and Jorgensen didn’t contribute to finishing clear top is daft, they were a pretty good engine room. I acknowledge they were both dire last season but why should that be any more of a barometer than the year before? 

I think this team will have every chance of finishing top four. The frustration is that they could have gone with three or four new faces in an effort to finish first.

Win all your home matches and you have every chance.

He is on a low average for a reason.

Which is what I have said previously , he left Kings Lynn and he continued his downward plunge at Peterborough and I am far from convinced he is any better than his current average although he will no doubt win races at reserve but as soon as he goes in to the main body he will struggle.

Baggy, you're forever the optimist,    always looking in the positive side, whereas I tend to be more realistic.    When I watch speedway, I tend to look deeper than just the result.  All too often I concentrate on the attitude and the effort the rider puts in.  and unfortunately its not always that good.   To bring back the same crew, to me, is a sure-fire recipe for disaster.   When world class riders like Lambert and Cookie are not winning races, what encouragement does that give to the others.    How can you moan at the other riders  when your top men go missing. 

One of the plusses from recent years has been the consistent form from MPT.      I have this thought, that he is the one, that has not signed for next year.       How stupid is that.???

Another sure-fire way to p___ the fans off......

I like to think of myself as having a balanced opinion. I don’t think being completely positive or totally negative does anyone any good. 

I would also have had MPT back but he has a higher average than the two second strings signed so until we know the whole team it’s impossible to know the circumstances of his non inclusion. 

Mad for attitude and effort, I’ve always wondered how anyone can know how many per cent a rider is putting in unless he is quite obviously trailing at the back. Riders can be low in confidence aboard a speedway bike and look as though they don’t care when in actual fact they are trying their hardest. I’d be interested to know who you think was lacking in attitude and effort last season.

Are you saying we may finish third :D

As we’ve seen over many seasons what a team looks like on paper very often doesn’t ring true. Everybody seems to be fancying Sheffield but I just don’t see it personally.

Although 2018 was a great season, Robert was flying, home and away. I think it was largely down to Lambo, NKI and Ty.These are very impressive stats from Robert.

Robert at home 70rides. 1st, 50   2nd,14   3rd 5 and 4th 1.....

Away 75rides.  1st 31,   2nd, 23   3rd 16   4th 4

 

NKI didn't set the world on fire, but he was very solid away from home, and the Lambo/NKI heat 13 and 15  combo were great. NKI seemed to leave his best rides for later in meetings. 

Home 41 rides.  1st 15,   2nd, 8  3rd, 11   4th 3  

Away 53 rides.   1st 19,  2nd,16   3rd, 12   4th 3

 

Add to that Ty was flying that year, with a home average of 7.27 and away 5.80.

Not doing all the stats, and although all the team got stuck in, and all played a part, I think the above 3 riders added considerably to Lynn's success that year.

A slight worry is that Ty and Lewis might swap places over the season, and both could struggle in the 1-5. Depends on the other riders I guess. But who is the surprise signing then ? :)

Lambo and Ty should put a point on their averages, and TJ, Erik and Lewis need to put at least a point on their away average this season.

Who's to say we aren't going to start with them both at reserve,just a thought:wink:.

That 2018 season i thought NKI was a bit of a let down to be honest.He was an out and out number one and he lost 1.66 from his starting average.

I think Lambo dropped about the same as well. Who is this big surprise, or was it Ty:)

Cook and Erik not declared elsewhere so its them and another I guess.. Huckenbeck ?
