He's seldom let the club down when riding in the reserve berth, and certainly never gives up, even when he's last.. I agree he always tries his best, but I am fairly certain he won’t score as many points as Josh Pickering would at reserve. Sadly Simon Lamberts best days are behind him.

It's why Belle Vue, King's Lynn, Ipswich & Peterborough have released him. He's unreliable. Add Sheffield to that list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 The tie is gone, we are never clawing back 28 points in a month of Sundays. Lambert is the cheap option but also a sensible one, better to put the £'s towards guest(s) for Thursday at Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant make this one ,but probably wouldn't have bothered if I could . 5 hours ago, lisa-colette said: King prob more expensive and tie pretty much over anyway. As i put on another thread,King couldn't guest as you don't get the 5% on top of the average for reserves.Unfortunate that and probably a rule i don't like.They are part of the 1-7 so don't see why all of them don't get the 5%. I have a season ticket now so will go whatever.If i didn't have one i may have stayed home too and watched some crap on TV. Going forward though if they constantly bring in guests like Lambert i will even consider not going even with the season ticket.Don't think they have many options for a guest in this one anyway with only Ipswich not riding.Only maybe Riss would have been suitable but is he fit yet?Can't have King or Rew,so that would only leave Hume.May as well go for Lambert at the NA. Edit:Thursday at Leicester you have a choice of say S.Worrall,Lidsey,Brennan,Nicholls,Riss if fit.Not a bad choice really.Nicholls and Worrall seem to be the riders in some form of late and would like to see one of them guest if Pickering isn't fit.Let's show some ambition Lynn management.

If Kasprzak carries on from last week then who knows. Simon Lambert coming in to guest for Pickering absolutely stinks.

Who would you suggest though?No one from the PL would be available,Nicholls Guesting for Wolves.Would anyone from the Championship be a decent guest,probably not.

kelvinht Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 r/r for musielak weakens sheffield around the Norfolk Arena. 28 points is a very big ask, but not impossible with the right attitude. The right attitude is not Lambert. Sounds like the stars have given up on the KO cup already and just want to give the riders some more track time at home. It looked like a poor crowd against Wolves the other week, which surprised me as it was Easter hols - suspect it will be poor again and Stars management will just be keen to get the match out of the way on concentrate on the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a standout candidate I'd absolutely agree, however I'm not sure who would be any better anyway, Ipswich only team not riding and most Championship riders very inexperienced at Lynn. Realistically you are looking at Vissing, Cook, Barker, Hume, Etheridge, Knudsen, Starke, Rew or James Wright. Take away those who aren't fit, who probably aren't in the country and those who would be debuting at Lynn and I can't see anyone who would be much better than a local rider who has done thousands of laps at Lynn and beat some of those riders on his way to eight points in the Ben Fund meeting in March. All that said we need Pickering back pronto, or the averages to change on 1st May so he goes into the top five. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Cook over Simon Lambert every day of the week. Even if you lose the overall tie it is massively important to keep winning your home matches and keep up momentum. Speedway fans are fickle and will keep coming back aslong as you win at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook and possibly Barker are the only two out of that list I'd even consider, apparently Cook had bike trouble and was suffering from a virus at Berwick last night so perhaps he was asked and declined? Who knows. Essentially though it's slim pickings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnboy Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I will be staying at home and saving my money, fed up with Dale getting his mates in the team. I have been going over 40 years now and this is the first time I can’t be bothered to go. need a forward thinking promotion who want to promote and not just expect people to turn up and pay there hard earned money for a weak assembled team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone for Cook,but he is ill.Also would he have been asked anyway,it seems he has burnt his bridges with several PL clubs.
