Can't really slag you off, because I had Lynn down for a play-off spot too, but at least I didn't say they were "absolute bankers" lol!

I’ll own that! I always love a side with a ringer at reserve. I had my doubts as most of us did with KK, but I’ve been really surprised with Klindt and Pickering hasn’t helped their situation either.

While they don't have any top heat leaders, they make up for it with their second strings / number 6. 3) Wolverhampton - very solid top 5, could all average 7+. No superstars, but a decent number one & the strongest RS. 4) Ipswich - powerhouse top 2. Rest of the top 5 isn't as strong as any of the teams I've placed above them. 5) Belle Vue - fantastic number one & a good number 2. Not quite got 3rd heat leader / second string strength. Have the weakest RS. However home track form could help with bonus points! 6) Peterborough - great number one. But after that doesn't look so good. Not an awful team just, don't see much improvement in the rest of the team. Other teams simply look better. 7) Leicester - top 4 looks great, but think Sedgmen / Allen is where they are weak. Sedgmen would be an ok reserve but don't see him as a top 5 rider. If I hide some of my predictions I think I've done quite well lol! Sheffield ✓ King's Lynn - miles off Wolves ✓ (my write up was very accurate) Ipswich - close enough Belle Vue - doing better than I expected Peterborough - not far away from prediction - of course I thought they had a strong number one! Leicester - Sedgmen doing very well & is the reason they are higher than I predicted. Edited June 1, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Teams haven't even ridden half of their fixtures yet, hold thy horses. Pre season predictions are just a bit of fun anyway, no idea why people get their knickers in a twist about them.

But anyone "loudly" declaring that a team is awful / going to be miles behind, would be the time to say "I was wrong" imo.

JoeW436 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Well it’s 5 teams into 4 places now with tonight’s news from Kings Lynn and Peterborough seemingly going no where too. Have to give props to Wolverhampton, certainly didn’t see them going as well as they are right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings Lynn & Peterborough 99% out of it. Leicester favourites for 4th ahead of Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
