Esp when PK saying different things about his fitness? I like PK so hope he comes back over! I heard the podcast too.Doesn't sound too convincing that Kildemamd will come.He is telling Brady he isn't fit when he clearly is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) He was complaining last week that he didn't get selected for Gniezno (sp?) so must be fit to a degree? Not in their line up for today either. Dread to think who we'll end up with if he doesn't appear and Puk disappears. Edited April 17, 2022 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,247 Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Not sure there’s many (if any) reliable heatleaders around. Belle Vue have struggled all winter to find one. This is where this new rule of not being able to make changes until 25% of league fixtures have been completed doesn’t work. If Lynn can only find a 5 pointer, are they supposed to struggle for a quarter of the season before they can make more changes? If PK doesn’t come, then Lynn might need to make a couple of changes to remain competitive. Edited April 17, 2022 by Arch Stanton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danish SGP and SEC qualifier 14th April Kildemand seemed to do well in a decent field last Thursday.

So he is either not fully fit or no longer the rider he was I'd say 10 points and finishing in the top 5 in that meeting is fit enough to score points at PL level. He's not been the rider he was for a number of seasons now but could still do a job in the PL. Not a top man but on a par with the majority of PL heat leaders I'd expect. Point is he can throw his leg over a bike and score points in what appears to have been a decent standard field. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably so, but with speedway on another track the cards would be shuffled differently. This was the track he knows best I always remember when he was a rising star that he used to be great at Fjelsted and very average elsewhere. Is he returning to those days again Edited April 17, 2022 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If PK doesn’t come, then Lynn might need to make a couple of changes to remain competitive. But if the best to replace Iversen turns out to be signing a 5 pointer, how would dropping another (5.5-6.5) rider make them competitive, you've pointed out there's only 5 pointers to replace them?

Arch Stanton 2,247 Posted April 18, 2022 The “5 pointer” was hypothetical and a loose example. I think you know what I was getting at. The basic point remains, they should be allowed to make more than one change if they can’t find an adequate replacement, and they feel a couple of changes would get the overall team strength closer to the strength they originally declared. I accept it’s more tricky for Lynn than others because of the way they’ve built their side with a strong reserve already at the bottom end of the team.

Heathcote 51 Posted April 21, 2022 Just a heads up to any Panthers fan making arrangements to visit Sheffield on the 5th May by swapping work shifts planning lifts etc. Now the league one play off dates have been announced, if Sheff We’d finish 6th in league one they would be at home on the 5th May which would undoubtedly lead to the postponement of the Panthers fixture 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
