Then he should be taking to the track after the meeting not flogging a dead lawnmower during it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger Blue 146 Posted April 12, 2019 56 minutes ago, Mark said: After 10 meetings Peterborough will have ridden 5 league matches. How many league matches per season ? Not enough to give everyone a head start, already without a number one so absolutely cannot carry a rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not always easy to tell how the bike is going unless you have some opposition as the margins between winning and losing are so small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fine but doubt you would have riders who would respect you for giving support. A good rider isn't rubbish overnight. Sack Andersen after 4 meetings, imagine that happens, who replaces him ? He got 7+3 in the other home meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was you who mentioned 3 meetings, I just said I thought 10 was too many under the league as it is. As it happens I wouldn't replace Hans anyway, finding a number 1 is far more important, I wouldn't worry about the rest until that is sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CB252 1,376 Posted April 12, 2019 Panthers could try Kildemand. Gets on well with Andersen. He surely won't have an Ekstraliga job with Gorzow for long? His stock is that low that he'll probably be asking to ride here before too long. Why he thinks he's still good enough for top level speedway is beyond me. Actually, not sure he'd average over 7 in our league to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fairness to Peter he does not sign himself does he ? but i think your right he has been in a rapid decline the last 18 months and would do well to average over 7.00. That said he is still in his 20s (29) so if could still maybe re find his form maybe ? Edited April 12, 2019 by ProudtobeaBrummie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I can partly see the reasoning, it's really too easy to blame the bike if you do badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you saying we should be happy being 3pts under the limit then change later?? maybe its purely finance. if Peterborough are in with a play off chance half way through then maybe positive changes would be made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
