I'm not for a minute saying we should do it but would he fit for MPT and use the remaining points up?

Lyon won't agree to it as he likes working with familiar faces.

However if Buster was to be brutal then it's better to keep MPT and drop NKI.

MPT will improve once he gets his confidence back where's NKI won't because it's an age thing when it comes to NKI, The wear and tear on his body through all of his injuries is finally taking it's toll just like it did with Hans Andersen towards the end.

According to Sportowefakty NKI had an off in Denmark, they are reporting a concussion, but not sure if that’s been confirmed as will be out for set period if so, well in UK anyway they let them ride in Poland

I know it's early doors, but I'd be very tempted to bring in Klindt. If he produced his form of last season he would definitely improve our top 4 chances. I got the impression he was a good team man to have around the pits as well. I was disappointed when he went to Oxford.

That's no disrespect to NKI, but as others have said, he is getting to the wrong end of his career and I rather remember his earlier years for the club

Not for me.When i was putting together my team prediction for the coming season i didn't include Klindt for the reason he was coming back from a serious injury.This still stands with me,just can't see him hitting the heights that he did with Lynn last season.

Iversen was also coming back from a serious injury.

I think Klindt's was much more serious.Whilst Iversen did have an horrific crash at Peterborough,pretty sure he escaped with no broken bones.

KL are in big bother already.

That was always the risk when Buster banked on Tarasenko and Wojdylo being mustard all season.

You need Klindt ASAP!

I could see this coming. I posted at the beginning of the week on the Aces v Stars tread. Loose at home on Monday, and the 1st 5 meetings gone already. For me, I worry about Niels, MPT, and Patryk, at this stage. Although the latter showed what he can do at the Showground last season, so I’d give him a bit more time. Klindts average is a tad to high for MPT or Paddy. Off the top of my head I think we are 1.42 under the limit as it stands.

I don’t think mustard is the right word, for Vad and Paddy. maybe expected them to add a little to their averages, which they might yet. Rob must of had a say in team building ?

The problem I brought up pre-season is most of if not all of Vlad and Patryk's UK experience is on the Showground circuit which counts for nothing now.

They're basically having to start from scratch and it's a big risk asking both riders to rack up the points consistently especially Patryk who hasn't even ridden every track in the league.

For KL to even push for a play-off place they need the Ekstraliga versions of Vlad and Patryk due to how poor the engine room stacks up compared to other teams (MPT and NKI's best days are long gone).

Of all the tracks in the top division Sheffield and Belle Vue would be the ones you expect them to do best on - maybe Tarasenko has some mitigation with his bike issues but both he and Wojdylo were nowhere near good enough and Palm Toft was also awful. Sheffield are strong at home but these three might as well have not turned up tonight!

It sounds like it was essentially bike issues for both, of course those issues shouldn't be happening and there is a fine line between bad luck and unprofessionalism but the blokes riding those machines are capable of better and the chances are they will produce.

MPT is unfortunately exposed in the top five against the better sides and that's a symptom of being under the points limit. Also has to be remembered that it was only Lynn's third meeting, although if we ride another three and are still struggling and without a win it might be time to have a rethink. We need that engine room back fit very soon.
