tellboy 3,658 Posted November 23, 2021 Whilst i think Pickering would be a good addition,you also have to look at a rider or two who you think may put a point and some on their starting average.He may do that but he is now a 7+.If Lynn had any forward thinking they would have got him last season when he was around 4.7.Hopefully they will have a surprise signing who they may think will do this.

You are right but I think its probably time to put last year behind us and look forward, Pickering would increase the home scoring and entertainment factor significantly and would be a great signing.

Absolutely agree about Pickering hence why i said he would be a good addition.But with the last place or two left i think they need to find a gem like Sheffield did with Pickering last season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t disagree Don't really see Bjerre coming back to Lynn. Don’t think either he or the club enjoyed it last time round. Think he’d be more likely to go to Peterborough and either MPT or Harris moved to Lynn (not Ostergaard before Flappy starts) Edited November 23, 2021 by Speedball 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree about that. Musielak would have fitted that mould perfectly but they wouldn’t pay what’s required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedball 566 Posted November 23, 2021 Pickering 7.38 (if average on Sheffield thread is correct) Nicol 5.44 (done well at Lynn before and had previously signed but not ridden) Cook 7.05 Jorgensen 6.46 Lawson 7.21 Kerr 5.28 38.82 if I’ve done the 2.5% average reductions correctly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then we would sign these riders and would soon realise that they only had looked good because we were so garbage... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have Thomas at Peterborough having seen him race for us. If it was 2 rising stars as planned be would've been my pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
