Will Lynn sign a replacement? If he goes back into the top five next Monday then I suspect it'll be R/R. Can't imagine there's much appetite to shell out on a short term replacement but could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they tempt Nicholls in as a 28 day replacement.Be handy at reserve away to Ipswich on the Bank Holiday if Pickering's average stays at no6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nicholls signs as a temp replacement, they don't use Pickering's average any more, so Nicholls would be at reserve - best reserve in the league imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholls or Cook could be possible temporary signings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen Pickering's average has now fallen to below 6 for May.If he is out for 4/6 weeks a temp replacement needed imo.Say Nicholls did sign,do those matches count towards an average for Nicholls?

Bagpuss Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 We simply have to come up with something g better than Simon Lambert for May. Losing Pickering is a massive blow and so typical for Lynn. He could have done some serious damage from reserve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if Nicholls signs his average will change, guest appearances don't effect average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Is why he probably never signed for Wolves in the end as it wasn’t worth it - once again, making the guest system look a total farce. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he would be better off for himself to guest to keep his average low.You would think it would help his cause of getting bookings if he wanted them.If he ended up with say an 8pt average by signing as a temp replacent that would limit his chances of guesting after that.

szkocjasid Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Guest options in May for Pickering (5.92) would be Bellego (5.80), Brennan (5.72), Blodorn (5.50), Howarth (5.40), Kerr (5.27), Andersen (5.19), Lidsey (5.16) & Sedgmen (4.98). Or sign Nicholls or Cook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His average wouldn't go that high, as he'd be carrying 10 matches from 2022 with a 5 point ave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I wonder what Kings Lynn are going to do at Leicester on Thursday with no KK who is riding in Poland and now no Josh Pickering ? Combined with Sheffield vs Peterborough so Tom Brennan or Blodorn looks like best option for reserve and Ryan Douglas for KK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
