Or for that matter at the end of his last season at Lynn. Be interesting to see where Puk is at now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acef 795 Posted February 28, 2020 17 hours ago, ruckerroo said: It does look a dads army side but must get in the top 4, should always have one really strong reserve It does and I think the loss of BWD will be big for this Peterborough team. That said there is certainly a lot of scope across the team to improve starting averages and that is always a good thing. Not sure which way to go. It has the look of a team that will either fall flat on its face or be right in the mix. That sounds like a stupid statement but I think the potential improvement is what makes me think like that. If it happens then Peterborough are going to have a very good season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wealdstone 3,454 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Hopefully this side will do well, together with the obvious, external factors and misfortune contributed to last years disaster. Just a shame that the management had to stitch up Blue Badge holders before the first wheel turned Edited February 28, 2020 by wealdstone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,055 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I think this side has potential to be challenging for the title, it has riders who are all not what they were apart from possibly MPT and Tungate but Hans, Harris and Scott had really bad seasons last year and they are all much better than that. Harris still has the ability to beat the best on a track he likes. Edited February 28, 2020 by foreverblue 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, as well as those three being on arguably false averages they are all riding in positions below where they have done in the recent past; Harris should be a good third heat leader, Hans the same as a second string and Nicholls an excellent reserve. The most important thing is winning at home regularly and this team should do that whoever the number seven is. I can see Lynn having a very difficult evening there in their opening fixture.
