Gasser90 229 Posted February 16, 2021 Kingsley is rated 3 stars, I think Peterborough have the lowest star rated rider in Jordan palin only rated 1 star Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted February 16, 2021 Mixed feelings about Kingsley, to me he kind of fits what the scheme should be about as he is local, a club asset and reasonably young, however he is weak compared to others and is going to struggle away from Lynn if not at home too. However on the other hand he is probably past the point where he is ever going to be an established top flight or international rider IMO. Would rather have Ryan than Bates or Bacon who really shouldn’t be in the scheme at all but can’t help but being envious of Kemp, Brennan and Palin. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No ambition from management yet again In the write up it says it all really,he's one of Allitt's boys.There is Greaves,Mountain and Shanes amongst others who i would have picked ahead of Kinsley.Very disappointed with the option we have gone for.Needed to get cover at work for 8 out of 10 of the matches at least i won't get to disappointed if i don't get cover for some.That's how i feel at the moment,very flat.

Speedball 566 Posted February 16, 2021 Guess I shouldn’t be surprised but just smacks of the easy option. Enormous gulf between the likes of Bates and Kinsley. Ryan could be a spoiler at home but fear for him away. Just hope the promotion to the main team doesn’t have the same effect on Ryan as it did Josh Bailey. Travelling for hours to run 0, 0, 0 and be off the pace will do nothing for his confidence or development. He’ll just end up losing any enjoyment and walking away from the sport. The exact opposite of what the scheme is designed to do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The exact opposite of what the scheme is designed to do. Bailey crossed my mind as soon as I saw Ryan’s name funnily enough. Hope it turns out better for him than it did Josh. Someone like Leon Flint would have been better IMO. As you say it has a whiff of the easy (cheap) option. Edited February 16, 2021 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
