Agree E/Fs happen in this sport. The track is the same for everyone and the experienced riders should do better,this must be why so many Ipswich fans have been on King's back all season. Starke ran up 14pts from reserve last season from 7 rides,9 of those points came from finishing ahead of Mountain,Heeps and Kemp.So i don't know why people expected another good score from Starke from only 4 rides against a lot better Lynn team from last season. Harris in great form,he did score a max last time out,but other than that not been brilliant.Iversen top of our averages away and at home this season. Jorgensen is the enigma to me,normally so good at home,but so poor away.This was the reason he wouldn't have been in my team this season.But he has warranted his place so far and has done better than in previous seasons. Jack has been very good for Lynn he will be missed.But he would have had to take 3 rides so Mulford took his last one not Worrall,they were reserve switches that you probably got confused with.I'm sure if Jack was fit he would have taken 4 rides which would have allowed Worrall to have taken one of Lawsons.But as it panned out he had to take one of Jacks and two R/R rides. Better team won on the night and that's how it happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not exactly fanciful thinking that he might have at least managed that although of course we’ll never know. Matters not anyway. Only thing that matters and counts, are points on the board and we took another three 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted June 12, 2022 As I said on Thursday too many things didn't go our way, that's sport. Our visitors took advantage and well done to them. We've had several matches this season where riders have been missing from our opponents line up so no complaints. The only crumb of comfort is that we didn't let Ipswich leave with all four points. Hopefully we won't have another meeting where we have three riders missing for the majority as whatever the merits of guests, R/R or reserve cover there is nothing like having all seven present and correct. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had 2 riders missing to your 1 and lost one on the night. Thomas LOVES a grippy track and NKI too tbh so I suspect they would've scored highly. The score was so close on the night that I believe we would've taken the win but for our injuries and efs. We'll agree to disagree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
