Flappy 1,594 Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Presume Schlein will ride for panthers Thursday? With the new averages and with the other fixture realistically it can only be Schlein or Charles Wright. King or Lawson would be nailed on but they are both riding Edited August 3, 2021 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However by putting your weakest reserve at 6 & giving him the hard races (after heat 2) it limits your options for "tactical" reserve changes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted August 2, 2021 I'm happy with the league point. We need to replace Ully because R/R isn't going to cut it tbh. We always seem to carry one passenger in the top 5 and that will cost us meeting's running with R/R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted August 2, 2021 Good meeting, fair result. Wolves not quite at it, or Panthers rode well ? You pays your money and takes your choice. Heat 15 though seemed a roller for Palm Toft and deserving of a rerun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have 3 rides and you can’t tell me it’s good for them scoring little to no points and confidence being destroyed. Peterborough had a 5 man team and like you say even in that you are carrying a rider a meeting in the top 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The likes of Andersen should not be allowed to ride at No 7 allowing him to ride in the protected heat 8.He should be at No6.It should be the the young star at 7 for all teams. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterborough had a 5 man team and like you say even in that you are carrying a rider a meeting in the top 5. I remember the talk during the pandemic from one of the promoters that six man teams were one plan being considered.. Maybe the FS scheme was a compromise to this.? Basically six man teams and a "junior"... Thus. It would keep the septet team structure, make it look as if we are using the 'Polish model' (to a fashion), and therefore have a development plan, and I would imagine be a 'bit cheaper' than the usual 2nd tier second string riding at No7.. And who knows, some may benefit from it.. Tom Brennan certainly appears to be able to hold his own against more experienced opponents.. Most though certainly dont add much to the entertainment factor, but hardly their fault.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,762 Posted August 3, 2021 The scheme works in Poland, I know some of their youngsters are light years ahead of ours at 16 but they get thrown in the deep end in their top league and while its sink or swim u til they are 21 those who do swim end up being very good. Last night may have dented Pailin's confidence a bit but he will probably score reasonably well against Lynn on Thursday and then get a hatful for Scunny next time out so he'll be fine. We have a good crop of young uns but they need to be tested and pushed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,929 Posted August 3, 2021 Palin won't be concerned about last night. He's more suited to the bigger tracks. In a few years time, I can see Gorzow signing him. He would be suited to that grippy type of track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
