TTT 1,229 Posted March 30, 2022 Wouldn't worry about tonight's score. Riders just use these meetings to try out different set ups / equipment. Basically a football friendly where football managers don't really care about the result and they just use the match to try out different players / formations.

Last season was a dream and I loved every minute but feel we've got it wrong when building the team. Bjarne is a huge miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most champion sides are lucky to keep 3/4 of previous year! I think you are worrying too much atm. Who knows who is going to be on form and who isn't.

Expectation is always higher when your team wins something , but the real 2022 Panthers team includes Harris & Basso as well they labelled this as "challenge of the champions" then weakened the real Peterborough team and strenghtened the Poole team, We may crash and burn this season but the 6 who have returned deserved to be included in 2022 for there efforts in 2021 Edited March 30, 2022 by scoobydoo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that you would be pessimistic if you had Zmarzlik and Dudek in your team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was excited about last season. We shouldn't have signed Ostergaard and subsequently signed a stronger reserve and we would've challenged to retain the title for me.

Ulrich will be ok when he has had a few meetings, he did have a nasty injury, it takes time to come back from that. You are making judgements based on a couple of meetings.

There isnt thats true Im sure that if anyone of the team isnt pulling his weight then a change will be made if someone is available that is but until then you just have to give them another chance after last season when they all did there bit to make it such a good season 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just another indication that Championship Champions are pretty damn good at home, with 'too many Cooks' clearly spoiling the Panthers broth!!

I'm guessing they mean from teams official line ups we were missing Nathan Ablitt and they were missing Basso and Harris. But was impressed with both Cook's and Kemp last night. Did really well. Good to get the confidence high early on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s very admiral to support those that performed so well last season. Sadly that’s not how Speedway works. Not confident we will make the playoffs. Very much hope I’m wrong.
