hans fan 1,001 Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Don't surprise me tbh! His missus and his ass lickers on Facebook aren't happy he's been sacked.... must be a minority as he's been pretty cack his missus is a very nice lady the same as Hansen is a nice lad , even she was saying the other week what was he doing riding the inside , if Hansen had showed a bit form and wasn't injured ill so much Geds decision would have been a lot more difficult , it was a real no brainer Edited May 29, 2017 by hans fan 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,609 Posted May 29, 2017 How anyone could argue against replacing any of Hansen, Ostergaard, Lambert or even Bacon is beyond me. The worrying thing is that it's the second year on the trot we've blindly gone into a season with a strength in depth side hoping/expecting these riders will add a couple of points to their averages. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It been mentioned by myself and a few others previously next week Tungate/Allen and Ellis could replace 2 out of that 3. If we sign 2 of those 3 and line up as below that has to be better surely?

scoobydoo 2,259 Posted May 29, 2017 Theres an element of good luck required when a teams been assembled will they improve ave wise ,get no injuries, not suffer persistent mechanical lssues. Redcar signed Ellis Perks on just over a 2pt ave hes now upto around 6 thats the luck you need, Lewis Kerr is flying at the moment but has struggled since his bad crash hes now looking the rider he was again , its not easy without the luck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course not, however history suggests that Ostergaard is on the decline, Lambert was on an inflated 5.25 and Hansen was going to good at home and poor away. A rider like Cameron Heeps for example looked a bargain on his average at the end of last season. Edited May 29, 2017 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 545 Posted May 29, 2017 there is no point whatsoever in replacing lambert now he has a 3 average who's better ???, whos better than bacon ( shanes but I dare bet the whole league has tried to sign him ) what we also have to remember if it wasn't for lamberts and oystercards pea poor form we wouldn't have been able to sign harris , Think your correct anyone with half a speedway brain would want Shanes , Witches looked but think at last count it was something like 15 matches he would miss. With you riding on Sundays it might have been even more with all his grass track . Of course not, however history suggests that Ostergaard is on the decline, Lambert was on an inflated 5.25 and Hansen was going to good at home and poor away. A rider like Cameron Heeps for example looked a bargain on his average at the end of last season. A few did question the return of Heeps but he's been a star this season, should that at your place . Shame the management left him out of heat 15 when he was by far our quickest rider that day missing dirt deflector or not . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluTiger 21,719 Posted May 29, 2017 tbh Rathbone seems hopeless with a blank canvass to build a team, never known a promoter have to make so many changes just to compete... must cost him a fortune. Only the one change this year to be fair, and that was a no brainer. Who wouldn't have swapped a low scoring Hansen for Bomber ? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure that the management team all chip in. It's a collective decision without anyone specific at fault. "Swales insists the latest pair of arrivals leave Panthers in the enviable position of having been able to attract all of their first-choice targets." - 8/12/16 Swales added: “When myself, Ged Rathbone and Carl Johnson first sat down as a management team a few weeks ago, this is the team we wanted to put together.

scoobydoo 2,259 Posted May 29, 2017 Rathbone is no different to any other promotion who have a blank canvass to work with most will fail apart from one each season, he makes changes because he wants to be a winner who doesn't even Glasgow made changes last season . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, Panthers have traditionally done nothing or made pointless like for like changes. Rathbone is different in that respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted May 29, 2017 This is just a question for you Pboro fans. Why did some of you want Holder to leave?? I thought he was doing quite well for you and perhaps the other day he was just not in the mood. But Harris and Holder is good together in heat 13 and it also means Harris can give Holder some advice. Ellis is a must look at target and Tungate. Ellis will come in to somewhere in the championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
