If you remember, before that he was just as bad as the rest of the team... let's hope it doesn't go pop anytime soon! He has had a few meetings where’s he’s only scored 6’s and 7’s but for the most part especially at home he’s been brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need a ruthless change or two, a bit of a punt on a new face from abroad and a dodgy postponement while Puk is away but it could happen. We have three matches left against Wolves don't forget. If we can string two or three results together, get on a roll and put some pressure on them you never know. What your saying here is very true and it could also apply to Peterborough , but both teams have the fact to make a change(s) requires the ambition to also be ruthless , i actually think Lynn have more chance of carrying this out than Peterborough at this stage, if NKI returns you have a ready made injection of ambition , but for Peterborough they need to find someone first and if its end of July with Basso's average rising that maybe even more difficult and fear the fact Rob Lyon is giving no indications of looking to be ruthless and that there ambition is at zero at this point.

Which has surprised me, I suppose when you see him riding here there and everywhere coupled with the below par performances from the rest of the team sometimes his performances can become a bit of a blur.

Surely at whatever point the return of NKI is announced he commences a 28 day ban Lynn have used a facility only available if he is withholding his services which carries an automatic penalty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Why do people think NKI is returning any time soon ? Poland is late August/early September at best- Denmark mid September and Sweden early/mid September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably think he'll be so crap in Poland (again?) that he'll get dropped (again?) which will free him up to return to Lynn again?

Flappy Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Panthers with one change could really turn their season around. I think it'll have to be Hans rather than Ostergaard however than goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring too some of his performances away aswell but yeah he’s been our best rider by a mile this season so far. I think a lot have become expectant with basso because of how could he can be but still needs time on some of the away tracks, we shouldn’t be looking at him too be scoring the most points or 2nd most points each meeting.

IainB Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Have to say it was great to see a Speedway meeting can be run in under 1 hour 45 minutes with a 10 minute parade, a 10 minute interval and both teams running R/R. A lesson many other promotions could learn from 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I'm a fan of slowing races down like that unless it's trying to keep a team mate ahead ie team riding. Should add a bit of spice to the next Scottish derby anyway.

Yes, the slowing in heat 15, I think some tracks, the smaller ones, lend themselves better to this sort of thing than the big Peterborough track where the speeds are so much higher for longer. I can't understand why it's not being made a thing though, it's not everyday we hear a rider calling another rider dirty, not in the media anyway. You'd think the promotions would be trying to stoke some local rivalry up out of this... but nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
