His Prem average is 3.72 after tonight from 5 meetings. There can't be that much difference between the Leagues. Has his sharpness gone? Who knows, but it's not nice to see. A few things for sure. I think you are right slightly tho his sharpness maybe has dropped off but it is such a shame too see him ride how he is atm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It actually shows how superb last season's achievements were and they should never be forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet he's riding well for Oxford. I don't want to make light work of any personal problems but they don't seem to be having any effect in the lower league. I think it just highlights that rightly there is a big gap between the leagues Edited May 31, 2022 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point completely, yeah maybe he’s banging in decent scores for Oxford but it is what it is I guess, surely can’t not be affecting him so it would be harsh too replace him. Deserves his place in this team in my opinion, and hopefully an improvement in form will come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted May 31, 2022 Cant see any changes being made very soon based on the fact from heat 8 onwards last night the scores finished level (12 down at ht8 to losing by 12 at ht15) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulrich is the weak link, not scoring a lot for Glasgow either, needs too be the change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted May 31, 2022 Panthers need a change or two otherwise they’ll be out of contention in record time. Problem being there’s very few options left in this country that could make a difference. Getting riders in from Europe can be pricey, will Buster splash the cash? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mateusz Tonder - whilst he might struggle at Wolves and Ipswich, he would be superb around the Showground that’s for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll mention him again as soon as he's fit Kildemand will be in there, I'd be shocked if he's not. He's already agreed terms with Lynn and I'm sure they'd prefer to keep NKI for the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
