Fozzie4388 Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 1 hour ago, eric i said: I would rather struggle on with guests for the rest of the season, 4.34 points under the limit. I hope there is another change coming. I think the words “It was a no-brainer to sign James Wright, because it’s far better to have your own riders rather than to struggle finding guests'' Is english for James Wright is cheaper then finding guests. Wonder who will ride at number 5? Going to be a very weak pairing whoever it is with Coles been at 6. Maybe it's time Captain Lambert stepped up especially at home and rode there?

eric i Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Thomas Jorgensen must need some more rides, no meetings in Denmark in July and only 5 left in August( none clash with Scunny fixtures), he doesn't seem to ride Poland or Sweden. Kennedy or Palin for Jorgensen? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romans lovechild Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 would be foolish to get rid of either of those, a long term gain over a short term fix(and one who doesnt know if he wants to ride in this league) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Its an odd change!! Certainly doesnt make Scunny stronger especially at home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palin maybe heading towards Josh Auty status but he could easily be another Simon Lambert. Definitely needs to look at what his counterparts are doing Flint, Brennan, Thomas all increasing their averages whilst riding in a CL 1-5. Not saying it can't be turned around but riders destined for the top rarely have extended plateau's in form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your point about Palin is valid however you could also compare him to the Thompson twins and Bickley who are also not probably making the strides people expect and it’s certainly by no means easy to do what Flint and Brennan are doing ! Saw Palin was the cover star of speedway star saying there’s a lot of pressure will have to pick it up as I think it will be an interesting read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Palin was the cover star of speedway star saying there’s a lot of pressure will have to pick it up as I think it will be an interesting read I did look at Thompsons, Bickley and likewise Edwards but they have had spells at reserve so averages fluctuate further and would currently put Palin ahead of that group BUT they are catching him. There have always been sleeper riders who at times struggled to get a team place Mountain, Hume for example and are now highly in demand. Palin wants to watch that he doesn't slip into that bracket as not everyone gets out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Best thing to do next year for Palin would be get to away from Scunthorpe for a year or two. You only have to look at the Worrall's they went up another level when leaving Scunny, Ash Birks went to Sheffield for a year before coming back to Scunthorpe and improved immensly before retiring. Also Douglas has improved hell of a lot having a few years away. Riding the same track year in year out is no good for a riders career imo. Before anyone has a go i don't mean he shouldn't come back in the future but it might be best for both parties in the long run Edited June 30, 2022 by Fozzie4388 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before anyone has a go i don't mean he shouldn't come back in the future but it might be best for both parties in the long run I do not agree with the comparison for Ash Birks as both tracks similar in shape but I do agree that riders need to experience the more technical tracks. The Worralls went to the ploughed field of Brough Park & Stevie has got his mojo back after his injury riding at Poole & Wolves. Douglas improved & has admitted to of the tuition by Darcy Ward & Davey Watt in his season away but came back to try the technical tracks at Leicester & Wolves. Flint & Brennan, also, tried technical tracks for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted July 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Adam Roynon released by Redcar on Monday & snapped up by Scunthorpe is the press release in the Daily Star. Probably just going through the checks, if all is ok, before announced by Scunthorpe by website or social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coles has been scoring the points asked of him & put in print by Rob Godfrey in heat 2 but not this last Sunday in the difficult no6 position.
