Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 24, 2018 Allitt does come across as extremely smug. But he should be tonight, as his team romped it. Lemon saying it’s not over yet is bravado but frankly Mission Impossible: No Chance. It is rotten luck for BV but even if Cook had been fit to ride I doubt they would have had any lead. Probably only 2 or 4 down. Bringing in Riss to push Toft to reserve has turned them into Champions elect. Can’t really see how they can be beaten and will win it comfortably. Only Doyle out of Somerset and Poole has the firepower to beat Lambert and Iversen. And neither club has anyone who can beat Toft on that form. It would take a monumental team effort to beat Kings Lynn over two legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel sorry for BV in picking up those injuries when you least need them. And Allit as a team manager getting involved in handbags. As a manager, you are there to set an example, he let himself down reguardless of the end result and the apology. the result wasn't a surprise to anyone, the only surprise was that BV managed to get a 10 point lead. He may have let himself down but his team certainly didn't let him down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His whole demeanor just came across like he won a cereal box competition to manage his favourite team. Smug isn't the word. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shows why Lynn are massive favourites for the title. Big top 2 and a free scoring reserve. No hope for any of the other teams. I wouldn't say massive. Lynn's top 2 scored 17 between them from 10 rides, and only 2 heat wins... I believe NKI's ave is just higher than Brady's. And if you look at MPT's scores since he dropped down, they ain't been great, deffo wouldn't say a "free scoring reserve" hence why he remains at reserve when the new averages come out. He did have a stonker tonight though. Edited September 24, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He must have been a top 5 scorer- Worrall scored 4 and berge only got 3 and they only had 6 riders- so i can only assume ref cocked up by not knowing the rule "B" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
