I'm expecting a defeat, making sure it's a narrow one would be a pretty good outcome in the circumstances.

Paddy to get a hatful again :D

Forecast for Wednesday and Thursday not great at moment, hopefully weather doesn’t cause an issue like the other week!  if there’s a chance of it being postponed Chapman should post the forecast he’s got to back any decision up 
 

Sheffield might need a guest for Edwards if he’s still feeling second hand

Forecast for Thursday better than it was earlier. 

Agreed, the forecast for Thursday has seemed to get better each day… but it could change again by then! Haha

Doesn't matter it's Busters forecast that counts.

although it is going to take an almighty effort for the boys to do it. However, after last night I think Sheffield are there for the taking. Our best riders this season are probably 2, 6 and 7 and that’s their weakness that we need to exploit.

Depends on who Sheffield getting for Edwards with him having a fractured cheekbone.  Kyle Howarth got double figures there for Sheffield last season so might be a track he gets some points on the board (like he did away at Leicester), Jack Holder has rarely been beaten there over the last few seasons, Woffinden will be fast there and Pickering will be hoping it has some dirt on it and if Chris Holder gates like he can he’ll be hard to pass there (not sure he’ll pick up points from the back though!) I can’t see it being as dominant away win as the ones in 2023 as team built differently but think Sheffield will get this 42-48

Unless Sheffield bounce back sharply i can see Kings Lynn winning this now, the top 3 for the Tigers will probably do very well but the lack of reserve strengh may cost Sheffield, Anders Rowe should have a decent night i feel!

Sheffield's top four are going to score a LOT of points. So Lynn really need to limit Howarth and the two reserves to scraps to stand any chance.

Seeing Pickering ride is going to be like seeing an ex girlfriend out with her new fella :(

If it rains, will we see another "Holdergate" situation?  Buster can't sack him this time!

Holder won’t be happy if he hits that rut what Toby hit that’s for sure.

I struggle to see past a Sheffield win, but hope we can keep it close and interesting and the weather plays ball and we get some good racing

Nah. Last time he was a Lynn rider.:neutral:

It was the year that team building averages change, and Holder was over a 12. Poole dropped him like a stone. Buster gave him a job, and he threw his toys out of the pram that night, against Poole of all teams. Lynn was just in front at the time.

Still pees me off today...
