em1500uk 190 Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Stars Niels-Kristian Iversen Nicklas Porsing Rory Schlein Robert Lambert Kenneth Bjerre Lewis Kerr Lewis Rose Wolves Tai Woffinden Jacob Thorssell Ty Proctor R/R Ricky Wells Piotr Pawlicki Joe Jacobs Steve Worrall (guest)? Ashley Morris If the Wolves team is wrong, I apologise, and wait to be corrected The Stars have started the season running, well...literally sprinting (!), so I'm hoping for this excellent run to continue. Kenneth and Rory can both be hit and miss at times, as we've already seen this year, but I for one can't grumble with either of their performances individually so far, even though as I say, both have been off the boil in one or two meetings so far. Niels had a below par home performance last week, but I fully expect him to be back on track this Wednesday and will have remembered how to gate Nicklas, Robert and what we now affectionately know as "Team Lewis" should all be in amongst the points again, and if not, we'll all enjoy watching them try that's for sure! As for the visitors, Tai Woffinden didn't look his usual self at the Zielona Gora challenge, nor did he didn't score too well for Wolves at home last Monday either, but he may well be feeling the affects of that crash at Leicester a few weeks back, so I'm not entirely sure what to expect from him this time. Ricky Wells can be great on his day and I'm sure Piotr Pawlicki will give it a go (can't recall if I've seen him around the Norfolk Arena before or not?) Ty Proctor, from memory, hasn't had a brilliant time around our track since his PL days with Redcar, so he's another one I'm a bit uncertain of how well he'll do. The reserve pairing that Wolves have I think is pretty decent, so the reserve races could be closer and more hard fought. The rider I'm most looking forward to watching again though is Jacob Thorssell. What a find he is! He looked brilliant last season and this year, he looks even better to me! Very exciting to watch! Can the Stars scare the Wolves out of Norfolk with their tails between their legs? Oh, and the most important question of all..........how many Wolves fans are going to leave the Midlands to watch their side at the Norfolk Arena? I hope you're bringing a bus load for the sake of CVS! Sorry guys! I just couldn't help myself! He'll rue the day he ever made that comment about Stars fans not leaving the county much!

g13webb 4,254 Posted April 21, 2014 Even if Wolves were all fit and riding to expectations, I think they would still struggle too contain the lively Stars. I think our early form will continue, but the final score will depend a lot on Woffy's fitness but I will be more than happy with any win of over 7 pts.....

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Jacobs out for tomorrow after sustaining concussion on Good Friday so I assume he'll be ruled out for seven days? Perry guesting tomorrow so may well be him on Wednesday too. Should be three points for the Stars but Wolves have riders capable round Lynn so can't see it being a walk in the park. Looking forward to seeing Pawlicki. Edited April 21, 2014 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
em1500uk 190 Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks Mr Puss I'll amend it anyway as you're probably right! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted April 21, 2014 Lewis Rose missed the Young Stars trip to Kent today. Will he be available for Wednesday. Lynn by 9 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
em1500uk 190 Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah, I saw he missed that meeting today, semion No idea why? Didn't think he'd hurt himself over the weekend or anything? Maybe he has a day job or something and couldn't make it for that reason? I suspect that might be the reason why Scott Campos wasn't there either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted April 21, 2014 Mechanical according to Stars website. Is riding 3 leagues taking it's toll on machines, if not man. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted April 21, 2014 Machinery problems according to the official website, no doubt had today off to get his kit sorted for Wednesday. Seems Jorgensen carted him into the fence last night at Newcastle so I assume that's part of the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted April 21, 2014 I hope Buster makes a big deal for all the Wolves fans coming to Lynn, leave a space on the terraces for them ha 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superguest 194 Posted April 21, 2014 I think this will be a massive home win- Thorsell and Wells have started the season well but this counter acted by Proctor struggling and Morris a little less dominant than some thought. Tom will give his all as im sure, but kings lynn will no doubt be vey strong in the reserve department. However, it'll be good to see how Pawlicki does, and hopefully Woffy is feeling a little better. Tough home meeting against BV first thou! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted April 21, 2014 I hope Buster has the red carpet out for Combover Chris. It's not often we get the next thing to Royalty at Saddlebow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks guys Must confess it's not that often that I look at our official site, but it is a vast improvement on previous seasons! It was only a challenge meeting in Kent, so I can't say I blame Lewis for deciding to give it a miss if his machinery needed looking at. EL and PL are his bread and butter compared to the NL.

stevebrum 6,821 Posted April 21, 2014 Can only see a comfortable home win for the Rampant Stars. Doubt any team will get within 10 of them. With Jacob out even worse for us. 55-39 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
em1500uk 190 Posted April 22, 2014 Although I see the Stars official site has Jacobs still in? Least they did when I looked yesterday, but I'm still trusting Bagpuss here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
