Mattfordfan 286 Posted March 17, 2018 Who is going to ride at No.5? Keep Ostergaard in the middle order like last season or do you throw him in at No.5? Personally I think MPT would be better at No.5. Who do you think is better suited at No.5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think MPT would be better at No.5. Who do you think is better suited at No.5? Neither. Both are not good enough to ride at number 5. But as it's what we're stuck with Ostergaard has to ride there imo. Edited March 18, 2018 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted March 18, 2018 Its possible that trying to protect Ostergaard is actually contributing to his inconsistency He is producing exactly what is being expected from him Perhaps by giving him that extra responsibility and setting higher expectations he would response accordingly.......

We tried that in 2016 where he started the season at number 1, moved to 5 and then finished at 3. He rode at 1, 3 and 5 again in 2015 4 & 5 in 2014 And of course rode all of last season at 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything less than 3/4 home defeats will be a bonus IMO. Away from home the only upsets apart from regular beatings I can see are for Panthers fans attending but at the end of the day we still have a club to support or not.

Big Al 708 Posted March 19, 2018 I see that Tom Bacon is named on the replacements bench for Wasps tonight in their A League rugby union game against Leicester Tigers. As he is number 23 it probably means he plays in the backs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irk Deflector 130 Posted March 19, 2018 So much negativity! Panthers will be competitive at home and provide great entertainment. Away they'll pick up a few wins and who knows may push for a playoff place. Here's to a great season for British Speedway. Tapes up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
