Never put your #2 in heat 15, it very rarely works!

Incredible mistake by Stead, play off semi final your number 1 has 8 points from his last 3 rides and you don't put him in heat 15.  If wolves mange to pull it back it's a sackable type mistake (unless holder had an issue we are not aware of).

But they are now more or less guaranteed 15 from Lambert, they have not had that all season

When was the last time Lambert visited Owlerton (or less likely Monmore).  I would suspect he's never visited Owlerton in the top tier of British Speedway, prior to last night Lambert was last at the NSS in March for the Peter Craven memorial and only scored 7!  Fricke and Klindt (who was booked as guest) scored more that night, so going on the form shown that night the Aces were weaker last night with Lambert in the team.

According to Speedway Stats Lambert last visited Owlerton in 2017 and averaged 6.40 from 2 meetings.

He rode Wolverhampton in 2019 and scored 5+1 and 4 in two meetings there. 
Could have been better to use a Chris Harris instead :)

You aren't comparing like for like, Lambert is a completely different rider, and he has no problems with big tracks in the GPs, did you not see how much faster he was than anyone else last night

Lambert rides Owlerton fairly well - I saw him ride for Newcastle there about 2015 or 16 - at the time he was an up and coming rider who I could tell from that night would go on to do great things! I even had a discussion with some of the Tigers fans about him - he come up against Garrity 3 times that night and lost each time but was close - the locals were crowing a bit - I said to them lets see where they both are on 5 years!! I rest my case

Just trying to compare scores at a track. Fricke & Klindt scored more than Lambert when all three riders rode the NSS this year.

Congratulations to Sheffield on a good performance. I will be supporting the Tigers against the cheating Aces.

Gracious in defeat as always -_-

Explain the difference between Lambert replacing Fricke in 2022 to Woffinden replacing Kylamkorpi in 2016 please.

And does Fricke?

Seen Fricke once at Owlerton this year he got 3 I think - two duck eggs in heats 1 and 6 

On balance I’d say Lambert the stronger option 

scrap that Fricke got 9 from 5 (1,1,3,2,2) I confused him with Sam Masters above who got 3 (R,R,2,1) for Wolves in their 44-46 defeat!

still think Lambert the better option (just)

The very obvious difference is that the Woffinden team change was entirely within the rules s they were at the time whereas the Lambert one took place under a rulebook that supposedly was written to prevent such changes.

Woffinden rode league matches not just play off matches

Easy Woffinden rode 6 league matches before play offs not like Lambert brought in as a ringer for half a semi final and final.

No one is a ringer but lets look at it another way Kylmakorpi  a third heat leader just back from injury set to drop to a number 4 on the next green sheet 4 days after swap replaced mid Aug  by the reigning world champion after one of his other teams has finished their season.

Fricke reigning world pairs champ, G P rider and winner and Belle vue number one with an 8 plus British average out with multiple injuries. Replaced  in Sep/Oct by Lambert World number 5 and fellow GP rider with a 7 plus British average after one of his other teams has finished their season.

Both changes within the rules and both are fine. But if you asked a non speedway person which of these swaps looks like a ringer which one would he say.

Lambert is not the same rider he was the last time he rode here, where was he in the GPs the last time he rode in the UK, where was he this year, that's the comparison to make to show how far he has progressed
