g13webb 4,254 Posted May 3, 2018 I have no regrets for not going, I have always been a man of principal, and by not going showed how I felt regarding half a team scenario. I am pleased the Stars won comfortably, and that all the true team members performed well. So pleasing to see Robert fulfilling everyone hopes with another brilliant maximum. Hope fortunes favour him this year and he can have a injury free season. LK was always a great choice for a reserve, scoring big points, especially against sometimes very mediocre opposition. Ty Proctor also done very well, he is now settling down and scoring points like I thought he would. I remember getting pillared from certain quarters when saying what a good capture he was. Probably fans will now appreciate what a talented rider he was prior to some really bad injuries. The small returns from guests CC and AM, for whatever reasons, merely emphases my belief that guests are never a good idea. You cant expect them to perform like your own riders... Good result for the club, and brilliant form from Lambert , can only be good for those PO intentions.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Well done Kings Lynn for their win. Lambert appears to be in imperious form which is good to see. Bellego had an off-night and the Swindon reserves were woefully weak. I think Zach would have done better than Serj but when you build a top-heavy team, it doesn't leave much for reserves. At the start of the season, with the form that Davey showed in the charity shield, I actually thought I had got him wrong and he looked like he was going to have a decent season. Turns out I was right because he has become the binary man since with more zeros than ones! His time in the team must surely now be limited unless he finds that start of the year form.

00000 1,279 Posted May 3, 2018 Well done Lynn for getting it on. Well done Lynn for a good win As for Robert Lambert, wow. He has moved up a level or two over last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted May 3, 2018 The problem with those calling for Davey's head is who would be picked to replace him? He is one of the form riders in the NL and that is largely the pool of riders you have to play with given the averages. Hume or Mountain would be the other sensible contenders but both ride Thursday nights for Ipswich so virtually rules them out. Would need a double change and re-declare under the limit. Does switching Davey & Musielak for 2 x 4 pointers make any sense? Think the robins will have to stick with Mitchell and help him the best they can 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think the robins will have to stick with Mitchell and help him the best they can 100% agree with this, when looking at averages and potential replacements there isn't going to be anyone better. Last night, fair play to Kings Lynn, and pleased to see Lambert getting on with the job and proving some of the doubters wrong. Bags of ability, and it's good to see his progression. Off night for Bellego but not worried about him, he's been scoring average up until last night, he'll bounce back on Monday. Hopefully we'll have Zach back also and we can get back to winning ways.

semion 2,192 Posted May 3, 2018 I hope the fans gave The Brat an indifferent welcome back to Saddlebow. In Good form so far this season. Still Plenty of time for that to change 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrss 691 Posted May 3, 2018 Batchelor may well have been the best scoring rider for the Stars untill July last season,but he is still a prat and the team are much better off without him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think the robins will have to stick with Mitchell and help him the best they can I don’t think anyone is calling for Davey’s head but he is scoring next to nothing so he needs to get back to his season starting form. As for replacing him, I would like to think that when the time is right, Swindon will have some points to play with and sign a 4-5 point rider to replace. But I would like to see him improve and his time must surely be limited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted May 3, 2018 After their brilliant display at Leicester and Poole, I was apprehensive about winning especially with riders missing, so I am please Swindon lost this one. The last thing this sport needs is an all conquering side winning every week, like they did last year. No getting away from the fact they have a strong team and will be there or thereabouts come PO's.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
