FYI he only used the GTR engine for 3 races total for Lynn this past season. He even bought a brand new PJR halfway through the year. It definitely wasn't through lack of trying to get things to work, it just didn't click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like he used it a lot from the outside looking in because he was poor all season. How could it take all season to try to get things going and never reach the point where you have succeeded.

No point ending the back end of the season flying and increasing your average... Especially in a team no where near a play off place... If you can afford to, best thing is to keep that average low and have some negotiating power the following season when discussing team positions with people who may feel your average doesnt truly reflect your capability...

Bagpuss Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 So expecting Pickering Worrall Jorgensen Lawson Kildemand Kerr Thomas Would mean we have the strongest reserve in the league but on paper at least the weakest 1 and 7 with a pretty solid middle order. Lots depends on how much PK can stick on his average in what is now a much weaker league. Looks a much better and more competitive team than last year but still probably the 6th strongest on paper, albeit much closer to others than 2021. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, looks that way though I think Worrall (5.51) will start at reserve rather than Kerr (5.73). Depends if that includes the final meeting at Sheffield where Kerr scored 4 from 6 rides. I think it’s a side that should be competitive at home but probably still too many passengers away and weakest rising star of the lot (again). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Actually from checking, I might have been unfair on Thomas. Averaged 5.60 from his 20 meetings with Birmingham last season. That’s pretty respectable and stands up well against the likes of Kemp & Rowe. Sorry Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks on paper better than last season if this does turn out to be the team but with the league being slightly stronger is the that side any better than last seasons ? If Kildeman ups his average he useful signing - Ritchie Worrall probably had his best season ever when he was last in the team hopefully he can find that sort of form again - personally I’d not had Jorgensen back think he’s more than had his chance -but all in all it’s looks better than what we started with last season .

Sorry Jack Yep I think he quietly went about his business at Brum last year and did quite well, plus had an excellent guest appearance at P'boro versus Ipswich where he scored eight including two heat wins https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/20451/ipswich-premiership-06-09-2021 Probably the weakest on paper but has some potential and a much better prospect than Ryan with all due respect to him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn’s side last year sucked a lot of my interest away so had totally missed that. Makes total sense now why he’s on our radar. Always happy to hold my hands up when I get things wrong and looks like I have on this one. Totally agree about him being a better prospect than Ryan. Really felt for him because he should never have been put in that position to start with. Edited December 2, 2021 by Speedball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crump only offers sentimental value & that's certainly something King's Lynn can't afford in 2022 after the season we had in 2021. We have to be competitive and yet again, with the predicted 7, we're well off it again. Crump would just add further pain. Have to agree with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Crump isn’t in the mix so no worries on that score. Edited December 2, 2021 by Speedball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
