It’s as simple as that Bang average side that one Our heat leaders Doyle Emil and Brennan very superior to Cook Kvech and Lawson… 2 of those were second strings last year …. Ellis and King better than Iversen and Klindt Harris should do better than Dan T and maybe not much between Boughen and Jenkins A team that might scrape 4th but injuries aside miles off of Ipswich Sheffield and Belle Vue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Think Oxford will be Lynn’s biggest threat for 4th. Be interesting to see whether they take full advantage of Janowski’s low average. Potential is there to build a powerful side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming KL's rumoured 1-7 is correct and Oxford get what I've got pencilled in for them then I think they'll both make the play-offs tbh, I'm not convinced on Sheffield, Stunning rumoured top three but that tail end is dreadful and it's relying on Picko keeping up the end of season form also will Woffy be the same rider after his injury?

I am playing devils advocate here but the same could apply to Jason also - hes been out a long time and we have to hope he is fully fit and able to carry on where he left off! KIngs Lynn always seem to have a (half) decent side on paper - afterall they started 24 with Tobais who I rate then all seems to go wrong after a few weeks! At least if Harris is announced they have a racer to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't worry about Jason because he's dealt with big injuries throughout his entire career and everytime he's come back stronger. I throw the Tai question up because he was declining as a rider before the injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team will look weak compared the the rumoured Witches 25 line up. I'd also disagree that King & Ellis are better than Iversen & Klindt, but there's not a lot in it. Even if the Lynn side is "bang average" that's still an improvement on their last few seasons. Plus an average side could make the top 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki always preferred to ride at 5 I reckon because it meant normally less team riding as well. Edited November 11 by gazzac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away from home many sides struggled at times but Lynn have never been that great on their travels as far as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Irving Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Nowhere near enough firepower in this team for me. Harris at reserve won’t counter that. Lynn will get outgunned more often that not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be surprised if you beat any of Belle Vue, Sheffield and particularly Ipswich at home. They’ll all have far too much firepower for Lynn to handle. That’s potentially 6 home defeats right there. With the greatest of respect to him, I just can’t take Lynn seriously with Ben Cook at number 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat Sheffield 3 times at home in 2024 (50-40, 51-39 & 48-42) with a worse 1 to 7 than our predicted one for 2025… so your comment makes no sense whatsoever!!

You living in cloud cuckoo land that Lynn team on paper should only potentially get beat by Ipswich at home and that’s it they look rock solid with the rumoured line up.
