IronScorpion Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 12 minutes ago, Bald Bloke said: Yep. As you say, it would put us 1.04 over at the moment, if we swapped back. But we are home to BV and Leicester, and away at BV and Wolves this month, so plenty of time for our team averages to drop. On the other hand Kye could go wel,. and as you say it'll TJ or Klindt that might be looking over their shoulder. If Picko does come back in i hope they wait until is fully fit, because he didn't start the season to well, he only averaged 4.36 in the 3 meetings before his injury. If team averages drop then that would mean riders averages have dropped but some may improve (Laguta & Thomson after 3H 3A) but others (TJ & Klindt) at risk so could be a difficult balancing act. I think you need to see Pickering back at Edinburgh first to guage any other change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Picko came to us on 7.38. And Lewis left us on 4.50 (7.11 this season).So who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? After a poor start at Wolves he scored eleven at Sheffield and paid ten at home to Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep fair enough but Bald Bloke was referring to the three meetings he rode in before his injury as an idea of his form, I make it 5.24/6.19 from those three without/with bonuses.

Understood. Either way he certainly wasn't performing to what his average was when he came in. However, I will say that the league is stronger than when he was at Sheffield in 2021.

Andrew Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 To be fair,Josh scored heavily against Kings Lynn home and away in 2021 and that rather boosted his average,so much so that the Tigers couldn't for him in for 2022! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 I’m not as confident as you guys. We will get close but it’s a track we tend to struggle on. Blodorn and Brennan not been great for us there in the past. I can’t see laguta being troubled if I’m honest. I saw enough last week to say there will be a massive improvement tomorrow. is the farm shop near by still closed down??! Or as it re opened under new management.

There was little fight last week. Need to make sure they can find someone who strengthens them (& is affordable) not just changing for the sake of it (like Edinburgh, who I think now look weaker or Plymouth who look weaker away, but maybe not at home).

If youre talking about the one on the A17 the farm shop itself is open, but the cafe next to is closed down. Believe the one on the other side of the road is open though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume he was on a guarantee like most of the "Big names" are. I understand you need to win your home meetings, but for arguments sake, lets say he was on £3k a meeting. His 2 home meetings he averaged 10.40 , i know this probably would of dropped off to 8 -9 in time, but still acceptable, so pay him his money..Then averages 2.91 over his 3 away meetings, and looked like a disinterested novice.. I wouldn't want to give him £3k for that. It's taking the pee imho. The season is to short to give him say 10 meetings to see if he bucks his ideas up.

Still don't get why Lynn signed him in the first place. I said in the winter that it was the most random signing ever and the Aussie sun must have got to Alex's head and I stand by that comment!
