Bald Bloke Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 9 minutes ago, Bagpuss said: Understand what you are saying about Lawson but he is scoring well for Poole so I'm sure he'll sort himself out. As much as I dislike R/R I think it will cover for Jorgensen quite well so I wouldn't be quite so pessimistic on the back of an unfortunate home defeat. Lots of matches left to get in the top four and stay there. To be honest i've been a bit worried about his form long before Thursday's loss to Ippo. But it was after Thursdays meeting that i looked at his stats more closely and was shocked at his win ratio this season. Although i'm not in panic mode yet,i do think we will need him winning races again to get anywhere near winning anything. I'm sure he is doing all he can to put it right.

It might of been the reason for Thursday's score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need a different engine to ride at Lynn to the one you would ride at Poole,or at least you use to if you wanted to do well.I knew riders would just have an engine for the Lynn track.It is more slicker nowadays so probably not so much the case anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same engine as used for the previous 2 home meetings, both scoring double figures. Just getting out the starts were the problem against Ipswich, no need to panic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What concerns me is 3 heat wins in 29 starts so far this season, compared to 77 starts and 30 heat wins last season. If we aim for a play off place, and to do something if we get there, i think we will need more HT wins from Richard. Maybe he has been struggling with his starts all season so far ?, compared to last. Your obviously privy to more than us. But hope he finds the solution Edited June 14, 2022 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 His starting is his biggest asset. Normally razor sharp from the gate is Lawson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Jack Thomas faces 6-8 weeks out with his injuries.Apparently Lynn are looking at options to replace him.Imo it needs doing as i can't see Mulford achieving what Thomas has done,although will be ok as a no8.Will there be anyone who could come in and do a job like Jack has done,Shanes,Edwards,Clegg probably the best options so far but probably not a Jack's level imo.

I think he stepped down from the side like he did with Leicester. Belle Vue have also given permission to Connor Bailey to look for another club apparently that was posted by someone ITK on the Peterborough thread. He could fill the role until Jack recovers.

kevin bass Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Master Bates always found a way to be named as one, so in the best interest for speedway haps Lambert could be added to the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
