I fully agree tbh. However I would still go with the team I mentioned as I feel it's only fair to the riders who won the title to give them the opportunity to defend it.

Don't get riders like him these days who care so much about the employer and everyone associated to the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted October 19, 2021 Good news. I looked up on the Palin situation and he's a Scunthorpe asset so fingers crossed we can get him back. MPT, Hans, Ostergaard, Harris, Nicholls, Palin & Jack Thomas will do just nicely........Thank you Buster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not talking of this years team the manager nailed it with his team choices and his tactical use of a high scoring reserve they well deserved to be champions. I am talking about keeping the same team( as mentioned by some Panthers fans} bar Pedersen and replacing him with a rising star {which seem the way its going } for next season. Without an experienced high scoring reserve next years team {as stated above{ in my opinion will not be anywhere near as powerful as this years. Not mentioning how effective an high scoring reserve through the whole season was. Lets just look at the 4 play off meetings for an example The high scoring reserves scored 46 points over the 4 meetings 9 of these points were from tactically replacing rising star rider Palin with said riders and if i am right were only used once as a R/R which resulted in a pointless ride. Which again in my opinion won you the league and play offs. So this explains my thinking as to why next years proposed team will be nowhere near as good as this years.

BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted October 20, 2021 To be fair lads B.V 72 does make a good point. Replacing a reserve who'll score 10+ a meeting for another rising star really is a game changer. As I said earlier though I would bring all 6 back from this year purely because I think it's only fair the same riders get the chance to defend the title they won.

scoobydoo 2,253 Posted October 20, 2021 If Peterborough were to pick up another RS in the mould of say Tom Brennan its possible they could still have roughly the same top 5 plus Palin and a high scoring reserve again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yes I do agree with your point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 20, 2021 The thing the Panthers need to be a little careful of next season, is a few of their riders have slightly over inflated averages having had a high scoring stint at reserve. Get the second RS rider right though, and you will start off with a decent team,,, but maybe a team that won't have much as much improvement in it as others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im aware they ride were they want but my point was that Ostergaard would have an advantage over the other members of Dads Army due to Peterborough holding his registration if they do that is, including him over Andersen for example means no loan fee paid to Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
